Update, Sept., 3, 2024: Beta Readers Wanted for Supernatural Private Eye Novel (85K)
          
          I'm looking for 5–10 beta readers who love reading in the genres of clean mysteries involving an amateur private eye with supernatural powers. This novel is complete and in its umpteenth (7th) draft and ready for fresh eyes and new perspectives.
          
          The word count is around 85K, with 32 chapters told in the first person of the private eye. No sex or profanity. Mild to moderate violence. I need the beta reads completed within 4–6 weeks.
          
          Here's the blurb I'm going with for now:
          
          Children have gone missing in Metro City, and the police are all out of resources—except one. Will Jones, a Feeler, is called upon as a private consultant to the MCPD to aid them in finding the innocents before it's too late.
          
          Haunted by his past, uncertain of his future, Jones must reacquaint himself with his out-of-practice empath abilities before he can hope to rescue the missing in time.
          
          If you enjoy reading books and/or stories in this genre, kindly apply as a beta reader using this link: ericbeaty.com/mimc-beta. I'm using StoryOrigin for my beta copies.

GREAT NEWS: I'm going through some of my never-before-published short stories and finally publishing them. To start with, they will be available on all the major online book retailers to paying customers, then I'll gradually publish some of them right here on Wattpad one chapter at a time. For those of you who can't wait, that long, get them when they're released on your favorite online store.
          
          Be sure to follow me to stay informed when the next short story will be available for purchase after "Shadow: Ninja Detective" is complete. So stoked to be publishing again!
