Snack-sized stories
Nov 27, 2021 8:26 pm
It’s two days after Thanksgiving, and I’m still basking in the glory of leftover pie. Fun fact: for the entire week after Thanksgiving, pie is an officially recognized breakfast food. Hoping you all got to enjoy some awesome pie/turkey/mashed potatoes or just good old quality time with loved ones. Aside from pie, though, in the days after The Big Meal, I’m not in the mood for anything too large. I tend to switch to bite-sized snacks.
And on the subject of bite-sized, did you know there are also “bite-sized” stories on Amazon? Basically, Amazon launched their new reading program called Kindle Vella this summer.
On Vella, authors publish stories in bite-sized chunks called episodes every few days. (The first three “episodes” are free, the rest are unlocked with coins. New readers get 200 free coins, equivalent to about 5-10 free episodes.)
Accidentally Married to My Brother’s Best Friend actually started as a story I wrote for fans while working on Winning You Over, though you got it for free for signing up for my newsletter. Anyway, while you’re in your food-coma and looking for something short and fun, a bunch of romance authors and I teamed up to bring you some snackable stories. It’s a bit different than reading a full book on your Kindle, but I actually feel like that makes them way more addictive.
You can find those stories here and here!
And since you’ve already read my own Vella story (link to AMTMBBF here) consider taking five seconds to like the free chapters, following me on Vella, or leaving a review. These actions show Amazon that the story was enjoyed by real people and should be shown to more readers, which is a huge help for an indie author like me. They also guarantee if I ever add on while working on Juniper Cove #3, you’ll be the first to know.
I'll be in touch soon with more updates on Juniper Cove #3, so stay tuned!
Lots of Love,
