This year I decided to do something different and write a book for the Kindle Vella platform. It has been an interesting journey. One lesson it taught me is that promotion is a joint effort. So, I decided to help the other authors on the platform by introducing their books to you.
If you’ve never tried Kindle Vella books, I highly recommend you give it a chance. It’s a different way to enjoy a book. What I love about it is that most of the books on the platform are the books that don’t fit into the publishing houses boxes. They are a little different, and if you like a little different, I promise you will find some new authors and books to love.
I’ve found a few books I like and purchased 1700 tokens so I could continue the stories. I’m looking forward to finding more stories to read.
Each week I will introduce you to ten books. The best part is, you can read the first three chapters for free and, if you like them you, can read more using your tokens. Amazon gives you 200 tokens to get you started.
Come back and tell me which ones you enjoyed. I’d love to chat about it.
