Randomness....

My sister and I have been writing another story on Kindle Vella:  Christmas, Ghosts, and Mistletoe.


"Christmas week at the Thimbleberry Inn gives Ellie Benson a chance to put her ex-boyfriend in the past and make a fresh start. Maybe now she'll be able to pursue her own hopes and dreams. What she doesn't count on is an unexpected snowstorm, ghosts, an awkward mistletoe kiss, and the handsome Derek Sullivan."

This one's a cute and clean romance (no swearing, no sex), with humor and heart, and a ghost or  two. The first three episodes are free to read, and I hope you'll check them out. It's set in the town of Grayhaven, where our first Kindle Vella story takes place. So if you're more in the mood for some supernatural suspense than romance, I hope you'll check out Ghosts of Grayhaven. 







My sister and I had so much fun writing this one; we hope to start writing the sequel to it next year...because Zeb's and Mariah's and Moose's story is not done. (Moose is the dog; he's awesome!)


FYI:  If you've never read anything on Kindle Vella, it's a collection of episodic fiction in every genre imaginable. The first three episodes of any story are always free...as are your first 200 tokens. If you want to buy more tokens you can get 200 for only $1.99. Then, once you start unlocking episodes with tokens that you've purchased, once a week you're given a fave vote which you can then award to your favorite KV story. And any story that gets enough fave votes is awarded a fave crown...which is what my sister and I are hoping happens with both our stories.

Happy Reading!

  4. Congratulations Lark to you and your sister on beginning your second Kindle Vella story. And I was very happy to hear this because I know from reading Ghosts of GreyHaven how good your stories are. And I love that the second story is about Christmas and set in Grey Haven a town you describe so well. I will absolutely be reading Christmas, Ghosts and Mistltoe to get in the holiday spirit!

    1. We tried to keep this one humorous and fun. And we thought a Christmas-y romance would work well in our little town of Grayhaven. :D
