Holy Rollers fans?

Not sure if this should be in Effete Snobbery or not, but the Holy Rollers novels have definitely been psychological abuse, so here I am.

Anyway, I've spent the last year dicking around with the latest in the series (Charlatan), with the intention of getting it published.

I'm shooting to have the rewrite DONE on Sept. 30, and I'm looking for a few brave souls to critique the rewrite. I've already got one guy signed up, but it'd be good to have many sets of eyes. I'm looking for feedback on pacing, how well the characters are developed, gaping plot holes, and if you spot any egregious factual errors I'd like to know about those too.

So... anyone game for reading this thing?

I want to read it, I don't know how to do a critique though.

I really liked the others, kind of like comic books without pictures!

Linky? I think I read some of this a while ago. Some demons hanging out in a bar waiting for an assignment or something?

I'll be glad to help.

Thanks guys, no linky yet - I'm still working on it. I plan to have it ready Oct. 1.

And to answer the "what do we do?" question:

I need people to read it and let me know if any parts are horribly boring, if there are any parts that make you say "Wait, that doesn't make sense," and if there are any glaring stupid errors (eg. snowmobiles with "twist" throttles...) that you can spot.

Stay tuned!

So are you folks all able to read word documents, or should I make a pdf of the manuscript?

Anyway, pm me your email addresses and I'll send the manuscript to you by Oct. 1. :D

It's decided - y'all are getting PDFs.

So, I've got one email address, AND a PDF ready to go. So if you're still interested, send me a pm and I'll send YOU a manuscript for your very much reading pleasure.
