The sequel to Emperors of Time is coming out soon (think about a month from now). I have revised the whole draft once. I have then sent it off to two betas and got line by line comments on the first 7 chapters, ( and revised the first 4 based on these revisions.). I have also gotten comments from another beta, and will consider these in my next revision. Since I now have experience with 4 different betas total, I am continuing to see how different betas have different styles. Of course, I have definitely gotten good advice from all of them, and am grateful to all of them, but it is definitely important to remember for any authors out there that you need to specify your expectations with the beta before agreeing to a beta read, or at least be really flexible when it comes to what you expect. I'm hoping to get one more beta and put a good bit more time into editing it before I publish. Keep looking at the blog and website for more news!
