Just curious
There’s always that one scene an author is terrified a beta reader will hate. And sometimes… it ends up being the reader’s favorite scene. Authors, what scene in your manuscript are you most nervous about letting beta readers see? No judgment. I’m just curious. 👀

Dear Fenzey, What a great, relatable question. All I'm going to say is that in Between Two Lights (Jan 19, 2024) it's the scene in which I make call from a payphone in Eugene, Oregon on a drizzly day. -- Beth Ann Mathews (new here today!)

Hello everyone! Kathy, thank you for this great, longterm bookclub! I'm a marine mammal biologist and an author with my second book, Between Two Lights: A Memoir of Divided Love and Adventures at Sea, coming our on Jan 19, 2027 (She Writes Press/Simon & Schuster). My first book, Deep Waters has done well in general (220 Amazon reviews 4.4/5) and especially with book clubs. I want to pay the $30 membership fee, but I can't seem to locate where to do that. Please advise me on where to pay. All the best! --Beth
