Halloween Surprise: Amazon's Announcement & Its Impact on Trails

Amazon recently announced it will be closing KindleVella this February. All stories, they said, need to be wrapped up by December 4, 2024. Unfortunately, while Trails of the Heart is scheduled to conclude around that date, I won't quite make it by that time.

Given this, things will change with how I post my episodes. To sum up, all future episodes will continue to be posted on Patreon (as will episodes from my upcoming novels), but the novel will not be available in electronic form elsewhere. For full details see below:

Patreon

All Trails of the Heart episodes along with fun extras will continue to be posted on my Patreon page. You can purchase the entire Trails collection as a one-time purchase OR subscribe for only $5/month. Both options give you access to all episodes and exclusive memes for Trails of the Heart!

Subscribers will also have access to the episodes of my next novel once Trails is complete -- these episodes will only be available on Patreon!

At least one exclusive episode and one exclusive meme will be published each week on Patreon. The length of episodes will also likely change to make them more readable than I was able to do while also publishing on Amazon.

Amazon KindleVella

The last episode of Trails will be posted this week Thursday, October 31. The story will be incomplete, but all episodes up to that point will remain available until Amazon closes Vella in February. To finish the novel, find me on Patreon.

Fictionate.me

I will no longer publish on Fictionate. All episodes have been removed.

Thanks for your patience with these changes. I know I should be disappointed to be losing this venue, but as with so many changes, this one opens up the possibilities for exciting adventures ahead. Looking forward to seeing you on Patreon!
