A big announcement for all you young adult readers:
My author pal Andrea J. Graham is looking for beta readers for her speculative fiction novel The Years Eaten: Changeling Restrainers Book 1. She needs constructive input on this book to make the changes needed to have the story be superb.
(These pictures from Andrea’s website represent two characters from her book: Brendan and Jesse. For reference only.)
The following is her blurb. If the story looks like your thing, click on the link after the blurb to download a beta copy through Dropbox.
Sixteen-year-old changeling Jesse Anders mind-bonds with outsiders like him, giving them his ability to charge their powers and heal by loving each other. His ability drains their mental powers when they act like the folklore monsters inspired by his underground race. And Jesse’s powers backfire, making him believe his name is Chris while he re-lives his twin sister’s last twenty-four hours alive in 1993. He returns to 1996 feeling like a stranger in his own body. A Norman Bates copycat has framed him for suicide. And he’ll die without one more act of mercy from his forgotten ex, Brendan Freemon. Brendan’s left Jesse for God, who Jesse misses but doesn’t know how to reconnect with alone.
Meanwhile, Jesse’s estranged father, Raphael, is bond-adopting Samantha Clanton. Jesse knows her from precognitive dreams where they’re a couple. He’d despaired, thinking, why would such a sweet, pure girl want him after the sexual abuse he and Brendan have endured and the choices they’ve made due to trauma?
Add your comments to the document and return it to the email address located at the bottom of page 1. Andrea’s open for your input until the end of November. If you have any questions, you can email me through my Contact page, and I can refer them to her.
