Lance’s comments from the Free book editing/beta reading group.

We still seek beta readers to provide feedback on our upcoming novel Silent Fear
Reminding you in return for helpful feedback, we will provide an endorsement in the Acknowledgements section at the front of this book.

Hi – I’m preparing to release my eighth novel with my son James Morcan. Our seven co-authored novels include The Ninth Orphan, Into the Americas and White Spirit.

We seek an unlimited number of Beta Readers for SILENT FEAR (A novel inspired by true crimes) – a multi-genre crime, thriller, mystery, horror, romance (with shades of sci-fi), which we plan to release through Sterling Gate Books as a paperback and Kindle ebook exclusive to Amazon around August 17.

A dozen major New York and London publishing houses have already expressed interest in this novel after having assessed sample chapters. Should a traditional publishing deal eventuate, the planned exclusivity and release date will obviously change.

Regardless, in return for helpful feedback from Beta Readers, we will provide an endorsement for each in the Acknowledgements section at the front of this book.

Set in present-day London, SILENT FEAR was inspired by the murders of two deaf students at Gallaudet University, one of the world’s most prestigious learning institutions for the deaf, in Washington, D.C., in the early 2000’s.

Here’s the novel’s storyline at a glance:
Detective Valerie Crowther is assigned to investigate the murder of a student at a university for the deaf in London. The murder investigation coincides with a deadly flu virus outbreak, resulting in the university being quarantined from the outside world. When more deaf students are murdered, it’s clearly the work of a serial killer. The stakes rise when Valerie becomes the killer’s next target and the deadly virus claims more lives.

(We are also screenwriters and filmmakers and have put SILENT FEAR into early development as a feature film through our production company Morcan Motion Pictures).

A PDF of the 750-page manuscript will be ready to email to interested Beta Readers soon. If you are interested, and if you are confident you can read it and critique it within four or five weeks, do let me know by responding here or email me at: sterlinggatebooks@gmail.com

Many thanks!
