Temprorarily named "Maroz", this is a new old book. I wrote it years ago and when agents werent interested, I posted it in a blog. Recently I decided to go back over it, edit it some, change the names of some characters, and maybe give it a better name (if I can come up wth one I like). Then of course I want to self Publish the book.
I am very close to finishing the re-edit and am looking for friends who would be willing to read it. I cannot pay, but at least you get a free book and some input to make it better.
I would be looking for....
1) Most importantly, mistakes in the story I missed. Things that I might have stated early in the story and forgot all about later.
2) Sentences that bring the reader to a halt because it is not smooth enough or too confusing.
3) If you are any good at editing, and wish to point out my misuse of commas or anything like that, I will not complain, as I cannot afford a professional editor and I know I am not perfect. In fact sometimes I think gorillas have better grammar.
4) Any parts in the story that simply become boring.
5) Not asking for this, but if you should think of better quips to make someone laugh rather than those I used at certain points, feel free to mention them. If you happen to just think... "Man did he miss a chance to do etc..." feel free to mention it. I may or may not agree, but if I like it, I am not too full of myself to make a little change here or there if I think it is better. I am even open to a better title. Anything that makes the book better.
NOTE - As I said, I cannot afford to pay anything for any ideas, or help offered. I can only offer a free ebook and add your name to my acknowledgements page.
Synopsis - A shadow is stretching across the land, threatening to swallow the world in its darkness. Within the shadow, the Lord of Death walks the land of the living, surrounded by his minions of Hell. The hope of the world lies in the hands of the elementals, men who can manipulate the five elements; fire, water, earth, wind, and spirit.
