Hey everyone,
I know I haven’t been as active on here recently, but anyway….I’m looking for beta readers for my first WW2 novella!
The Nurse Beta Call!
Calling all WW2 and/or historical fiction fans…I present to you…The Nurse… a story of love and faith during WW2.
______________________________________________________________
The soldier saw her coming. And so did a sniper, hidden by the smoky haze that shrouded the field. He adjusted his sights, levelling his gun as the nurse stooped down beside the bloodied form of a man.She grabbed his mask and held it over his face. His eyes were full of fear.
Then the gas was upon them, enveloping the two in a thick cloud.
The sniper pulled his trigger.

What kind of readers I’m looking for: People who enjoy reading historical fiction/WW2 books and don’t mind a bit of romance (clean romance). I’d also love to have people read it who know historical details about WW2 and nurses during that time. If any guys are interested, I’d really appreciate your feedback on the guy characters.
The feedback I’m looking for: Plot, descriptions, historical accuracy, characters, repetitive words/sentences, if it flows well, dialogue, and anything else you might think of.
Deadline: I’d like to have people finish beta reading this definitely by 28 February this year (but I’m happy to maybe make some exceptions for small adjustments to the deadline date)
Story Summary: World War II is sweeping across Europe, stealing the lives of hundreds of courageous men and women who are willing to fight and serve to protect their country and save those they love. Edith is a young nurse serving in France, trying to survive in the midst of danger and death that surrounds her. Denni is a young soldier whose bravery soon causes him to suffer greatly. When the two first meet, they soon discover that they share something in common; the same faith. A deep bond grows between the two, but then, Denni is badly wounded and sent home. As the war progresses, and Edith continues to serve, she soon realises that she must trust God more than ever before. Will she ever see Denni again? Will she even survive this war?
