I'll beta read! :) Also, as a writer whose spouse does NOT read their work, your wife absolutely deserves those two votes haha (and cherish the fact that she reads them at all - it's a strange feeling to know that your significant other isn't even interested in what you do...)

R.E., You are totally on my Beta Team! But when you get a chance, could you please fill out this form (I just created) to make things more official:

You also can access this application NOW on my website (as of five minutes ago) Ha! Talk about last-minute creation.

If there are any kinks or suggestions, let me know. ; )

Woo hoo! Just filled it out! It did tell me I needed to fill out an extra step that wasn't showing up originally- it wasn't a question, just an option (on page 2)

Damn, that was quick! Rock on. It may have been because I was in there fixing something! Thank you.

I'm glad I asked some of those questions, cause I would have NOT known to send you my latest story "SnowBall" due to its specific violence.

Thank you greatly for that, and for being on my team!

Yeah! I felt they were pretty good questions!

Yikes, that would be a strange feeling! I am very grateful for her. I often gauge whether a story is good by if I can make her cry, or by how hard she does it. She's very much my Tabitha King.

Rock on for Beta reading! Thank you so much—I will put you on my very exclusive list!

"...have you ever felt love’s iron fist strike you on your cheek?" Yes, I have. But I'm only putting off my panic because I still have another cheek. After that...well...who knows?
