Connecting Readers and Writers discussion

I hope this won't be considered spamming. I'd like to ask if readers who love fantasy (traditional, high, military) would be willing to help by beta-reading my latest book, Like Fire. This is a 110,000 word book which takes place in the fantasy world I've come up with, called the Wide World, with a female heroine/leader and elements of military/political strategy, magic and romance.

I've also written about creative work in a blog post, and asked for beta readers at the end, if people are interested in my thoughts on these matters. This post has been vetted by Anne Rice, and corrected by her - so the information there is correct and complete.

If you would be willing to help, I would be forever grateful, and will promise a copy of the book when it is published ... let us hope as good as it can be!
