Going Vella on Amazon

 Writers are loading up content on Amazon's new Kindle Vella - a way to read individual episodes. You can upload as many episodes as you want and people buy tokens to read them.  It doesn't seem to generate a great amount of money but if you get enough readers it can grow. 

So, here's my new story up on Vella. First 3 chapters are free. 

Eyes of My Killer

Knowing a person's secrets by looking into their eyes was Misty's gift. At least she thought so until she came eye to eye with a nightmare. 

Max Jennings was a by-the-book detective on the trail of a dangerous serial killer. When Misty walked into the squad room trying to sell her psycho babble, he labeled her a whacko. Then the killer leaves a body on Misty's front porch and Max must decide to trust a woman with a gift he doesn't understand or maybe, watch her die.

Writer's Desk

 They may look like random pieces of wood, but soon they will be my new writing desk.
With pictures
and colors.

I'm going to burn it with images and words that will inspire me. Some just because they're pretty, some because they mean something.

Below is the rough sketch of ideas. It might or might not end up like that but only time and paint will tell.

I think writing is part creativity, part tools, part time. And mostly ass in chair.
Thinking about the old writers advice, "Ass in Chair" I'm thinking of burning those words into my desk in an inconspicuous place where I'll know they're there, but others might not notice. then I wonder if it would be too crude?

But first I have 50 more pages to finish editing for my new ebook, Disregarding Heaven. Hopefully it will be up on Amazon in a week or two.

And I need a cover. Unemployed, I'm probably going to do it myself. Something simple. When my books actually start making money, I'll hire a cover artist. For now, I'm all I've got. Maybe tomorrow we can talk about covers and how to figure that stuff out.
