Be a Beta Reader for Adeline and the Mystic Berries!
It’s finally happening!
I’m just about finished editing Adeline and the Mystic Berries and this time around I want your thoughts before I continue querying agents with the manuscript. I am looking for beta readers, so here I am asking for your help!
But what does a beta reader do?
Rather than tell you myself, I thought I’d jump on over to Dan’s blog and tell you what he has to say. I couldn’t have said it any better myself:
What’s a beta reader?
Well, it’s kind of a big deal. You get to read the whole book before everybody else and then tell me what you think. Also, you get to be one of the first people to post an honest review on Amazon.
I did a few posts on being a beta, so you can read more if you click HERE to learn more, but basically you’ll…
- Read the finished story.
- Give the author (me) feedback by email
- Post a review on Amazon when the book releases.
That’s about it.
What is Adeline and the Mystic Berries about?Â
If you haven’t read my other posts about this story, that’s okay. Here is the rundown. This is a Middle Grade (ages 9-12) Fantasy story about a ten-year-old girl named Adeline.
Adeline Picot has never seen color. She is an artist whose drawings of the world are breathtaking to any who see them, but to her they’re all the same: black and white. Her imagination and innate talent for sewing are stitched through every hand-me-down she owns, now adorned with crow’s feathers, buttons, and secret pockets. In the impoverished village of Asher, Adeline’s talents are useless, for she has the unfortunate destiny of becoming a sock maker like the rest of her family.
Before taking up her trade, Adeline will finish schooling in Evanox, where being poor with an eclectic taste in fashion attracts the negative attentions of her teacher and some fellow students. One day, when the bullying escalates, Adeline escapes into the Forgotten Forest.
There she will happen upon the last bit of magic kept well hidden through the centuries. There she will discover that her world has not always been colorless, and she may be the only one who can bring it all back.
Still Interested? I hope so!

“Amelia Fang and the Barbaric Ball” : DIY Squashy Pumpkin Craft
I’ve been following author/illustrator Laura Ellen Anderson on Instagram for awhile now, and I was extremely excited to hear that her book, Amelia Fang and the Barbaric Ball, was coming out in the UK.
[I would later figure out that I could order her book here in the US from Amazon UK since it hasn’t been released here in the states yet.]
Laura had been doing a lot of pre-promoting of the book and that is when I noticed that she had taken her adorable pumpkin pet character, Squashy, and had made him out of clay, then painted him as a souvenir or perhaps a giveaway item. Either way, I had to have one!
Little pumpkins! ^____^ #pumpkin #halloween #ameliafang #autumn #3dmodels #scupting
