Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum. I released a book last month and I'm on the hunt for reviews and readers. Any help is greatly appreciated.
www.mnseeley.ca has book details and a link to a book trailer (a three minute mini-movie, of sorts).
A brief synopsis: Cur Dogs is set in 1978 … sort of. Disco and bell bottoms are on the way out. Escaping the squalor of Earth, and establishing oneself on the new planet frontier, is in. The desperate poor—assuming they scrape up enough dough—often hire semi-legal Chaperones to escort them across a terrible wilderness to reach the good life.
The story of Cur Dogs is about one of those Chaperones. Her name is Etta Reigert. Reigert reluctantly accepts an opportunity to advance her career. To get promoted from Swing Chaperone to Lead Chaperone, all she needs to do is babysit her lunatic partner and ensure he doesn’t screw anything up as they escort thirteen people across the outlands to the sister city. That is … without getting them broken by the terrain, poisoned by the vegetation, arrested by the Rangers, or eaten by the local wildlife.
Sounds straightforward enough. But the thing is, Reigert won’t be in charge. That role is assigned to her partner, and Lead Chaperone, Victor Stovall … and the hot-headed crank doesn’t work as a committee.
Reigert’s job is plainly cut out for her. It’s too bad some of the desperate thirteen “packages” plan on making cuts of their own along the way. Keeping it all together may be Reigert’s job, and hope for a better life, but surviving another day at the office is her new priority.

Work is hell. But, people are worse.
Thanks, everyone.
