Good news, my alpha reader has gotten back to me with her comments to the current draft of Saabrina: Firebird, Book 3 in the series (“S3”).

Although S3 has been through several complete drafts, this is the first time someone other than me has read the book. I wanted her to focus on the big issues: did the plot make sense, did the book read well, do the characters work and stay true to themselves. Having received her suggestions and comments, I can begin to revise again with a better understanding of what worked, what she loved and didn’t, and what she found confusing.

I can’t thank my alpha reader enough for her help. She’s been the first to read each of the Saabrina books, providing great comments and direction. She also provided encouragement: Saabrina would never have started its way to publication without her giving me that first push.
