Book Release Schedule

After much thought and polls from readers, I have finalized the book schedule of upcoming releases. Dates of each book haven't been set, but this is the order of books and what you can expect in the upcoming months from me.

1. Journey to Our Rainbow: Pregnancy After Loss (Working title)

2. Forbidden Destiny

3. Captured

4. The Guardian Angel

5. The Magical Butterfly (Children's book)

6. My Christmas Wish

7. Finding Joy After Loss

I'll be doing individual posts on each book to give readers and overview of what each book is about. This way if something captures your interest, you can keep an eye out for the updates.

Once each book is done and I do my first edit, I'll be calling on Beta readers to join in with the editing process. This way we can polish up the book before sending it off to the editor! If you enjoy beta reading, keep a look out for a sign up form with each book.

Thank you for your time,

Let The Reviews Come In...

I sent out my book Saying Goodbye Without Saying Hello to several beta readers. I'm beginning to hear their feedback, and I am without a doubt impressed by the fact that this book has captured their hearts. I love that my intentions with the book is working. I wrote my story with the hope that people could feel the pain and understand a little about what I went through. Here are what others had to say:


"Saying Goodbye Without Saying Hello is a poignant read that shares the journey of the author her experience of a wonderful pregnancy ending abruptly with an unexpected turn; how her baby becomes an angel. This page-turning true story touched my heart as I learned how Mrs. Buda shares just how fragile life is."  ~Elizabeth Mueller, author of Baby's Breath YA fiction


"This is a journey no one wants to take, and no one should have to. But it happens and it always seems to happen to those that are good people. And for those that have not experienced anything like this, you should still give it a read. Your heart will break, you feel happy, you will find a bit of faith that everything is going to work out. If you have experienced something like this, you have to read it.  I believe it will help you with everything you are going through because someone has been through it. There is a light at the end of the tunnel even though it may not seem like it at first. Please go and pick up this book when it comes out."- Autumn Nauling 

"Hold on tight as this author takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride through her journey of giving birth to her long anticipated, full term, forever sleeping baby girl. Raebeth Buda has masterfully written her story so that us; the readers can feel her every bit of her heartache and emotions from beginning to end. This book had me giggle, I felt the love and excitement that she had for Dakota while pregnant, I cried (a lot) but more than anything my heart ached for the Buda family and wished I could take every ounce of their pain away. No family should have to endure the loss of a stillborn but Raebeth's story is sure to reach out to those that may have experienced a loss like hers and teach them that there is a light and the darkness eventually will lift. The authors new found faith should be an inspiration to all no matter what life struggles you may face. This book is sure to tug at the heart strings of readers from all aspects of life. Rather you are mourning yourself, know someone who is or just looking for an excellent read that you won't be able to put down and a story that will stick with you long after you turn that last page; this book has something for everyone . A must read!!!" - Krissy Piper, Cousin of the Author

"Emotionally powerful story that has articulately captured the depth of trauma and emotion experienced when a family loses a child to stillbirth. RaeBeth Buda's powerful story will resonate with so many who have or will walk down this path. It also provides insight for others struggling with how to help when a friend or family members unborn baby dies."- Shauna Libsack; Star Legacy Foundation

Beta Readers

As I bring Silenced: The Overtaking to an end, I am beginning to plan the next part. Editing. This also includes beta readers.

What is a beta reader?

 A beta reader is someone who agrees to look over a piece of fiction for spelling, grammar, characterization, and continuity errors. Unlike a true editor, a beta reader is typically unpaid, and he or she sees the work at a very rough state. Many authors like to use beta readers to improve the quality of their work before they submit it for professional editing and critique, and beta readers are usually profusely thanked in acknowledgments, in recognition of the time and energy which they invested in the work. The beta reader also looks for flaws in characterization and plot. The beta may question why a character does or does not do something, or how someone ends up in France with no apparent explanation halfway through the third chapter. Authors sometimes miss these flaws as they are caught up in the greater whole, so a beta reader is especially valuable.

Here are the list of requirements that I'm asking for when doing the call for readers. If you do not meet all of the requirements, please do not sign up.

1. Beta reading experience: You must understand what you are signing up to do. You will be emailed an unedited version of the book. This will be for beta reading purposes ONLY!

2. You must be able to read the book by the deadline and have your feedback returned. I'm running on a schedule to have my book published. Any delays will result in pushing the release date further into the year.

3. There are limited positions that need filled.

What do you get in return?

 It would be a volunteer position. In most ways, the compensation will be pretty minimal: a free copy of a book you were (presumably) going to buy anyway. Getting to read it weeks or months in advance of when the final version will be released to the public. Helping me increase the book's overall awesomeness. And a thank you on the acknowledgements page.
