Alpha Call, Price Drops, Wrist Report, and Other Updates · 7:08pm Mar 8th, 2019
First things first, folks! ALPHA CALL!
That's right, The Dusk Guard Saga: Hunter/Hunted is ready for the complete Alpha! If you've been an Alpha reader before, and would like to Alpha again on the newest Dusk Guard book, it's time to comment! If you've never Alpha'd before but know what it entails and would like a test run, comment as well! Hunter/Hunted, book three of the saga, is ready!
Now, on to the rest of the post. You can read the whole thing on my site here. Or just keep reading and hit the jump.
Hello readers! Again, I apologize for the lack of material these last two weeks. This arm injury really threw a wrench into everything writing and life-wise. And right now I’m battling to get my worker’s comp (and may, it seems, need to get a personal injury lawyer) so that’s taking up time … Ugh.
You know, things would be a lot nicer if companies would just be nice, ethical, and legal. Or at the very least not attempt to bury their screw-ups and take responsibility for their mistakes. I’m not looking forward to going down there today, let me tell you.
Anyway, that does tie in with the arm. How is it? Well … improving. I’d say I’ve got about 50% of the mobility back in my wrist, and the swelling has gone down. I can hold something that weighs a pound or two without too much strain now, though position matters. And the brace helps.
All said, it’s getting better. The gash is healing too. Still looks ugly, and will probably leave a scar, but … that’s life. It still aches a bit when editing and writing, so I have to take breaks, but they’re getting less frequent. Another week, I’d say.
I might be interested. Schedule is a lot more relaxed than it was last time.
Alpha reader? I'm pretty sure you explained before, but if you could please PM me as to what it entails, I may be interested.
I’m game. Things have slowed down a bit here.
I'm still available as well.

Have you Alpha'd or Beta'd for me before? I don't seem to have you on my list of regulars (though name changes make it hard sometimes to tell).

I've actually got you down as a Beta instead of an Alpha. Alpha is checking for holes in the story, pacing issues, etc, while in the past you've been more interested in typos, misspellings, and other Beta read stuff. If you'd like to Alpha that's fine, since you're already on the list, but in the past you've always been down for Beta reads over Alpha.

Sending! You're pre-approved!

Have you Alpha'd before and/or changed your username?
5026556
Hello again! And i haven't changed my name.
I edit for Monochromatic and Novel-idea, both Alpha and Beta, but I consider alpha-editing as my stronger suit. I think i have applied on your previous roll-call too.

PM sent!

Thanks for reminding me. Yeah, I'm more a beta-reader than an alpha-reader. Good luck with the alpha run-through, and I hope to still be available when the beta call comes forth.

No worries. It's why I've started keeping the list!
5026556
Yeah, last summer. That western about Salitore Amazd.

Oh yeah! I think I neglected to put down your fimfic name on my list and just went with your e-mail. Hang on, will fix that ...
