Arianne "Tex" Thompson:
Hi Arianne. I see that you reviewed A Nameless Witch by A. Lee Martinez way back in, wow! Valentine's day (my daughter's birthday) 2012. I have written my first novel that is the same genre (fantasy/humor) as his so I was wondering if you would consider critiquing my book? I see you are too an author so you might be too busy, but if you are interested, I will send you the synopsis to see if it is up your alley?

Hi Kelly - and congratulations on your novel! You're unfortunately right about that second part: I am eight miles underwater and sinking fast, and can't realistically take on any more commitments at the moment. However, I noticed that you were reading a book about finding beta readers - have you visited Scribophile (http://www.scribophile.com/) and AbsoluteWrite (http://absolutewrite.com/forums/activ...) ? I met some excellent critique partners there when I was just getting started, several of whom have turned into lifelong friends. I also know several people who swear by Scribophile, because it lets you read and critique just the pieces you're interested in, so it's much easier to find fellow fantasy/humor fans (and I agree we need more of them!)
Regardless: I appreciate you thinking of me, and wish you luck in your quest!
