Hi folks. I have a new book I'm working on (now in 3rd draft) and am seeking beta readers. You can reach me at grockmeister@gmail.com if you are interested. All beta readers get a mention in Acknowledgements.

If you're an author, I'm willing to do a beta swap.

Here are a few details about the novel:

TITLE: The Pieces of Myself (third draft)
LENGTH: 79,000 words
GENRES: Adult speculative fiction, dystopian fiction, soft science fiction, sci-fi mystery, robot fiction, AI fiction
TAGLINE: A robot. A cryptogram. A sovereign fortune. A lost identity.

BLURB:

Water—denser than the air powering wild hurricanes, thinner than blood congealing around southern politics. By the 22nd century, it unraveled the fabric of the Gulf Coast like a pulled thread, ripping away land faster than anywhere else in North America.

Lillian Fray, a professor at a community college and brilliant mathematician, is asked to solve a puzzle involving a cryptogram and the link to a sentient digital avatar. Her quest is fraught with racial politics and a hurricane tracking toward what used to be New Orleans. At stake is are sovereign fortune and the key to her own identity.

Thanks for your help.
