What’s in it for you?
Have you ever considered what superpower you’d like? How about a story starring you as a character with that power? For my Null City series, I’m working up a series of short stories involving several characters, and I’d love to include one where you have a starring role.
NULL CITY: Superpowers suck. If you just want to live a normal life, Null City is only a Metro ride away. After one day there, imps become baristas, and hellhounds become poodles. Demons settle down, become parents, join the PTA, and worry about their taxes.
What’s in it for me?
I’ve just written the first draft of a short Null City novella called “We’re all Human. Even When We’re Not”. It’s an intro to Book 3 of the Null City series, and I’m looking for a few beta readers. Of course I’d love any and all comments, but what I’m really after here is just a quick read followed by a star rating (1 to 5). In return, I’ll send you a little worksheet to fill out for your character in your very own story starring you—and of course, that special someone else. (Could make a fun gift too?)
I’m not sure how many of these I can actually do, so it’s first-come/first-served. Just send an email to me at barbtaub@gmail.com, and I’ll send the link and password for the novella.

I can’t wait to get started on your story!
I would love to but I want to read books one and two first. There both on my TBR list. If I had a superpower, it would be literary cleverness with humor that isn’t cheesey. It’s where I am right now.

Well, I’d love you to read those books too! But actually, all of them are standalone.The each have a different main character, and NO cliffhangers.
And that superpower? I think you’re already there.

I have a comic relief in a crime novel I am working. She is probably who I would be if I were a transsexual. No superpowers though.
How many words are we looking at?

Your books sounds interesting. I’d be happy to trade chapters if you’d like. This novella is 12K words.

I can do 12 K. I sent you an email. Mine is at 15K. It’s a rough draft, but I don’t think it’s ready for more eyes yet. There is no real intro…it jumps right into the story.
Been reading lots of crime novels, wacky Florida ones by Tim Dorsey and Carl Hiaasen. I know I am probably not in their league, but I felt there should be a female author in there tackling another angle.
