[close] In time, I will seek beta readers from all backgrounds, but at the moment, I need gay men and African American beta readers to let me know if I got the story right. I'm finishing up my first novel set in a small town on the coast of North Carolina in 1923. It takes place during the salad days of Prohibition, and Beaufort is a hopping, rum-running kinda place.
