WHOOPS and apologies – I missed this, through being away and then returning with much to catch up with.
I’ve many, many reasons to be immeasurably grateful for the careful reading, insight and sensible, sensitive suggestions put forward by several beta readers of my novels while being aware that I am likely a poor beta reader, partly because I lack much in the way of analytical ability (a houseful of scientists hammered that home!) and partly because I am a passive reader, i.e. I accept what and how the writer tells me as their intent and adjust my expectations accordingly. That said, I do read just short of 200 books per year, so it’s not that I lack experience, just that anyone asking will get more of a reader’s response than that of a writer. And it’s no good asking me to read something from a genre I dislike.

I’ve not properly read through all of this absorbing topic but will return to do so ASAP – thank you Jane for starting it.
