What is an ARC?
Some may think of Noah and his
floating adventure with two of each animal, but that is not the ARC this blog
is about.
ARC
also stands for Advance Review Copy.
Readers will receive an advance copy of
an upcoming release, and in return, the reader writes an HONEST review on Amazon.
How does an ARC different from a book purchased from a store or
Amazon?
An ARC is commonly a paperback or ebook edition that is not complete — it may
lack a final proofread or its cover. The truth is, even the best
editors are human and could miss a small mistake. That is why a final proofread
is important.
What
if the reader did not like the book?
If the reader did not like it, then they
write the review and rate it accordingly. It is all about honesty. With so many different perspectives, not everyone
is going to like the same book. We are seeking honest reviews, and writers are
thick skinned, we have to be.
Why
would authors or publishers risk receiving a bad review?
Well first, they are confident that the
book is well written and those who agree to read the said book will enjoy it.
If they receive a majority of bad reviews, they will pull the book, fix it and
try again. If they receive an outstanding amount of excellent reviews, then
they know they are on the right track!
There are two ARCs available (150 copies) from two different authors!
The
Ghost of Lost Eagle
— Western Romance with Paranormal Elements
Mason "Tuck" Tucker meets Sass
Thornton when she saves him from death in a flash flood. She dubs him
"dumb-ass", a label he will hear many times as she fights against her
own unwanted attraction to him.
Sass's father, Phil, owns the cattle ranch and has been keeping two secrets
from his daughter. Despite her disrespect for Tuck, the father hires him to run
the bunkhouse and control growing racial tension between white cowhands and
Mexican vaqueros who work for him. Tuck surprises Phil with his easy, yet
tough, management skill. The old man takes Tuck into his confidence, revealing
a deadly truth about a killer who is terrorizing the bunkhouse residents.
Throughout the book, Tuck is haunted by the howls of a lone wolf and
life-like dreams of an old Indian medicine man. The ghost wakes Tuck when
he is in danger and warns the young man about a destiny he must face.
How do the ghost of Lost Eagle, the lone wolf and Tuck's newfound love
connect in a life and death struggle? What happens with the murderer
in the bunkhouse? Will Tuck leave the woman he loves to save the
aunt who raised him?
