This isn't my genre, so I can't volunteer. But if you're active in groups that are in this genre, I would suggest that you hang out there for a while, contribute to the discussions, get to know people. Then, see if there's someone whose interests align well with yours and ask them privately. That worked for me! The beta reader I found that way has given me great advice over the years!
You know I'm always good with reading your stuff. Not my normal genre but is sounds very interesting and I've been wanting to read it for a while. I'll be honest on it and the warnings are needed for me as I have a book were it deals with all of that.(rubbing my hands in anticipation)

Thank you, B.A. I'd love to have you take a look at it. You were a big help when I wrote "Diary of a Dairy Fairy". I'll see if I still have your email address and send you a copy of this probably later today or tomorrow. Thanks again!

I found an email address for you in our earlier correspondence and sent the book off. Thanks again for your help!

I'm taking a break from the novel I've been working on for a while. If you've been in this group for more than a few months, you may have seen me post about it here and there under various titles I've tried out, such as "Fairy Tale Village".
Right now I'm calling it "CReePS Book I: The Strange Case of Nellie Olsen".
I feel like it's close to ready for publication, but cannot be sure until I get a few more sets of eyes on it.
I call it a paranormal adventure, but it's a bit of horror, mystery, fantasy, comedy, etc. It's got a bit of everything.
I don't usually do trigger warnings on stuff, but I'll warn there is some profanity, violence, sexual discussion, and mentions of rape and child molestation. There's also some magicky and (obviously) supernatural stuff here and there if that kind of thing bothers you.
To give a brief summery of the story:
CReePS is a team of paranormal investigators who learn about a woman who claims to be haunted by something that resembles a scarecrow.
Questions, you can ask here. If you're interested in being a beta reader, I can email you the story in a few days. Don't post your email address here. Send it to me via a message.
Thanks for your time.
