Happy Groundhog Day! Will My Next Book Appear Soon?

Happy Groundhog Day!

Will my next book appear soon?

You can help to make it so, by beta-reading an advance copy.

Thanks to those who voted in a quick poll, I have the cover graphic selected. (Thank you!)

Thanks to my editor, I have typos corrected and a major overhaul of the structure underway.

I’m now writing the second draft of this book for marathoners and other endurance runners and walkers.

It will be a paperback and available as an ebook through Google Play, Kindle, Kobo, and Nook.

Once the second draft has gotten past my editor, beta-readers will get advance copies!

Why Have Beta-Readers?

I have had beta-readers for some of my previous books, but I’ve never made this opportunity available officially through SpryFeet.com.

Instead, those beta-readers were close friends, whereas this program lets anyone who reads my books become a beta-reader.

This official program has three key benefits:

• You get to see a book when it’s close to publication and give me your thoughts and impressions, if you care to share them, before the book goes live.
• I get more impressions from a wider range of marathoners and other endurance runners and walkers.
• My close friends are freed from feeling obligated to participate.

How to Become a Beta-Reader

Interested?

It’s as easy as 1-2-3 to become a beta-reader:

1. Read one of my other books.
2. Post an honest review of it at Amazon or Goodreads.
3. Join the SpryFeet.com Readers Club — Free! — at the Gold* level.

That’s it!

In case you’re wondering, your review of one of my other books need not be a five-star review. It just has to be honest and in your own words — as short as two or three sentences, in fact. Plus, your review shows me that you have read at least one of my books and are serious about reading another one.

If you are already a member of the SpryFeet.com Readers Club but did not join at the Gold level, then click the link at the bottom of one of my email messages to you to update your profile so that you can populate all of the fields, including the book-review URL field. Or, you can try to join again, but this time at the Gold level. If you are already a member and have any trouble with either of these approaches, then please contact me.

Once advance copies are ready, I’ll tell you how to get your own copy.

Thank you in advance for becoming a beta-reader!

*Update on 3 April 2015: You no longer need join at a “Gold” level to read a new ebook before I release it to the public! Just go here to become a member of the SpryFeet.com Readers Club. Welcome!
