First readers
After soft-launching this project yesterday on XARK (with plugs on Twitter and Facebook and a nice link from Dan T. at Lowcountry Bloggers), I'm happy to report two new readers:
Reader 1: Andy Rhinehart, of Tryon, NC.
Reader 2: Calvin D. Webster II, of Charleston, SC.
Reader 3: Dewey Sasser, Charlton, Mass.
Sept. 4 update -- more known readers:
No. 4: Vera Hannaford, Charleston, SC
No. 5: Mike Courtney, Charleston, SC
Sept. 5 update:
No. 6: Amanda "Mandy" Holling, Charleston, SC.
No. 7: Joey Benton, Summerville, SC.
Sept. 10 update:
No. 8: Samantha Grace, Tucson, AZ.
No. 9: Michele Anderson, Reidsville, NC.
No. 10: Nancy Watterson, Climax, NC.
Previous readers have read the original draft (Betsy Miller) or the Fall 2008 rewrite (Janet Edens and Paige Hinson).
If you've downloaded the novel and begun reading it, I'd like to add you to this list. There's no way of telling whether anything will ever come of this experiment, but if it does, I want to make sure that the early participants receive due credit.
