I was once a member of an excellent critique group when I lived in Seattle, and one of the authors, who was not only a terrific writer but a sharp critique partner, has a novel that has been selected for potential publication by Kindle Scout.
Authors gain publication at Kindle Scout through nominations by readers such as you and me. She reached out to me for a nomination, and, because I know her work and liked what I read on the Kindle Scout page for her book, I’m happy to oblige. And happy to ask you to do the same.
Here’s the blurb for The Mending, a dystopian science fiction novel (one of my favorite kinds), by Faye Lloyd. I hope you’ll go to her page and nominate her book. It’ll only take a minute, and you could make a difference.
When every man dies, women remake the world.
When a terrorist releases a virus killing every man on Earth, Dr. Vivi Bolder fights to save humanity in her corner of the globe. She unites with her mother, daughter, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, and niece in one house, but they each struggle alone to recover and adjust to a world both decimated and brimming with opportunity. As the government turns dictatorial and a shadow group works to secure a future where men are subordinate, can the Bolder women survive, even thrive?

You know, one of the things I really like about writers is how willing they are to be helpful to other writers. I see this in my workshops all the time, and in other workshop presenters at the writers conferences I take part in. ‘Tis a good feeling.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
