Advanced Reader Copies (ARC) are draft copies of books given for free so that readers might have a chance to read them before the final version of a book is published. Nothing is expected in return for the free copy. If someone who has read an ARC freely chooses to tell others about the book or leave a review, the author would be really grateful.

Once the final book is published, in order to comply with exclusivity contracts, the ARC will no longer be offered. Once an ARC is downloaded it is of course yours to keep, with availability at least a month before the publication date.

Ariel Montine Strickland who writes with the pen names Jo Dora Webster and Sasha Zarya Nexus has eBooks published under all author names. There are several unpublished books completed (some that have not been posted to BCTS) but not releasable as ARC's yet. When those books become ARCs they will be available for download in this section.
