22 Books and Counting

This year I released book number 22. My first book was published in 2010. You could say I published about 2 books a year. Of course there was a year or two that I went without publishing a book; however, I made up for it.

I am grateful that I have been able to continue to write and publish these literary works. Reading and writing has been a part of my life as far as I can remember. When I was around 8 years old, my aunt kept my sister and her children involved in reading and writing programs. We participated in Columbus Metropolitan Library’s reading program each year. We also often participated in another program, which we could read off our fines. Let me tell you, that’s one of the most powerful tools ever when it comes to literacy and helping kids to love reading. I absolutely love reading and writing.

The Omen

Have you read Tested on Kindle Vella? Episode 8 (The Omen) was released on Friday, November 12th. Episode 9 (The Mood/Still Standing) is scheduled to be released on Friday.

Upcoming Kindle Vella Episodes

On September 24, 2021, I released my first episode of Tested on Kindle Vella. What an amazing opportunity to release a book or novella in episodes. This definitely changed the game for authors. With three of the episodes being free, this allows readers to get a preview of three episodes before they decide to purchase other episodes. I am definitely a fan of originality and things that can assist authors with readership.

Below is a preview of released or upcoming episodes. Enjoy!

Episode 1- Ms. Karey (Free/Available)

Do you believe that the only way to beat a group of people is to join them? Sounds logical, but sometimes the rules change and you end up turning into the very thing you hate. You turn into the very person you despise. The person and thing that is testing you.

Episode 2- The Meet (Free/Available)

The Meet introduces you to additional characters, especially Mr. Wonderful, who will be discussed through the book. It also sets the stage for a setting change from Ohio to New Jersey.

Episode 3- The Move (Free on 10/8/21)

“This isn’t Kansas anymore” or Ohio for that matter. How will Kaye adjust to the East Coast life as a Mid-West girl?

Episode 4- The Shade- 10/15/21

The shade is real and sometimes it’s from your homie and behind closed doors. Keeping up with who likes you is like trying to Keep Up with the Kardashians. Impossible!

Episode 5- The Approach- 10/22/21

It’s definitely a doggy dog world in this episode. Kaye starts to believe people are calculated in their approaches. Meaning they calculate their every move to progress at the expense of others.

Episode 6- The Adjustment- 10/29/21

Kaye is going through quite an adjustment. Who knew that her character would be scrutinized for being truthful and herself?

Episode 7- The Final Straw- 11/5/21

For every action there’s a reaction and for every thing that’s done in the dark, often comes to light. Kaye comes to the realization that most things aren’t wonderful.

Episode 8- The Omen- 11/12/21

Blinded by sight. Deafened with words. An omen brought me back to life. For I was disturbed. 

Episode 9- The Mood

Coming soon

Episode 10- IDGAF

Coming soon

Tested

Today I released my first episode on Kindle Vella for Tested. Tested is about the game of life. Many people play the game of life with only one thing in mind; raising themselves above all others. They use their cunning abilities to outsmart others by deception, betrayal, and candid lies. Now, there’s some truth between the layers of deception; however finding it is like looking for Tiger Woods at a basketball game. It could happen and actually has happened, but the chances of catching him there at every game, like Spike Lee, is highly unlikely. #fiction #creativefiction

I was quite excited because writing an episode, allows me to make a more personal and intimate connection with my readers. I adore my readers.
