Updates And An Exciting Writing Contest!

I have some important updates and exciting news to share with all of you! Let's start with the bad news and move forward from there.

Kindle Vella Update

As of yesterday, Amazon has announced that Kindle Vella will be discontinuing its services in February 2025. This means no new stories can be started on the platform as of now, and the last month for updates on existing stories will be December 2024. For those of you who've enjoyed my work on Kindle Vella, rest assured, I'll continue updating my stories until the very end. If you have any tokens left to use up or if you’re considering checking out my stories, click here.

When all is said and done with that, I will very much miss the level of engagement with you guys that has been achievable through that platform, but you can still always interact with me on my social media pages such as Twitter/X and Facebook. I look forward to hearing from you. Also, I encourage you to follow me on my Amazon author page so that you never miss a new release. I do plan to finish the stories that I began on Kindle Vella and ultimately to publish them on Amazon as e-books and paperbacks.

New Writing Contest on Vocal In other news, I'm thrilled to announce I've launched a writing contest on Vocal! The challenge is to weave together a narrative that incorporates at least three holidays or holy days. This contest is open to all styles, lengths, and genres, making it a perfect playground for your creativity. Whether you're into festive fiction, spiritual sagas, pensive prose, or holiday humor, there's a place for your voice. You can find more details about that contest here. While you're there, take a moment to explore the entries already submitted – you might find some inspiration or a new favorite read!

I've been on a creative roll lately, exploring microfiction and poetry over on Vocal. These shorter pieces have allowed me to experiment with different voices and themes, and I'd love for you to take a look. Check out my latest works here.

As always, thank you all for your continued support and engagement. Whether it's through reading, writing, or just sharing your thoughts, you make this journey incredibly rewarding. Let's keep the stories flowing and the creativity glowing!
