Cover Reveal: From Asphalt!
Jul 15, 2022 10:27 pm
And.... I think the cover for From Asphalt was worth the wait!
It's soooo cute! (Cuteness, by the way, is one of the themes for our female protag in this book.) Dog lovers and sweet romance lovers (and people in the mood for a hot-cute paramedic will LOVE this book).
I'm currently releasing From Asphalt on Kindle Vella first. Vella is Amazon's new serial reading platform. And if you are like, "What the heck does that mean?" then you maybe don't have teenagers. It's something like Wattpad or Radish (or Webtoons if we're talking comics)--a platform that releases one chapter or section at a time. And even though this is all the rage among the younger set, it's not without historical precedent. Both Charles Dickens and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle both released their books serially (one chapter at a time in magazines). And people were practically rabid waiting for the next installments. These serials were so popular that supposedly Americans would wait on the dock for the ship to come in from England with the next installment of Dickens' current book. Super-fan-style.
Anyway, the first three chapters of everything are free on Vella. So it's fairly easy to go check out. You can find something like this on your screen (this is my desktop). You'll see it if you go to the Kindle store. You click on Vella (circled for you in black) and then just hop around the platform (warning: many of these books are spicy hot, and those are popular, so maybe don't let your kids troll around on it at first. To find the clean romance or anything else, you can do a search in the kindle vella store and it will bring up stories in that genre, so 'clean romance,' or 'just kisses' or 'middle grade'--whatever you want). Once you're there, you can look around, read chapters, whatever. Kind of fun!
This is what my home screen looks like when I click 'Kindle Vella' on my computer. You can see the stories I've read parts of.
If you want to read more than the first three chapters, you pay for more installments with tokens (which comes up to about a penny every hundred words). Amazon has been giving out even more free tokens when people sign up, so you could get more for cheaper while the platform is new.
And that, my friends, is today's ad for Kindle Vella (you're welcome, Amazon--I'm sure you needed my support). But I've been bumming around the platform reading people's stuff, and it really is kind of fun. It's the perfect thing for a doctor's office waiting room, or the school pick up line. A quick bite of a story really fast.
But! If you don't want to read that darn Kindle Vella, no worries. From Asphalt will release as a regular book at the very end of September or beginning of October.
And here's a little about it:
Paramedic Lance Patterson knows you can't save everyone.
Still, when he notices an injured dog limping along the outskirts of a car accident, he decides that maybe he can save just one more. A visit to the vet and a cool $1000 bill later, Lance has another problem--the beautiful (but standoffish) veterinary assistant that he can't get out of his head.
With an unexpected new dog, a demanding job, and his own mother recovering from a stroke, is it really the right time for love?
