Now that the Amazon Vella system is shutting down, a number of you have asked about the status of my Vella episodic stories. I’m converting those Vella stories all over into Amazon Kindle ebook / paperback versions.
Here’s the Vella books I have converted so far as of December 2024. I will aim to keep this list updated as I work through my library.

The one I’m working on now is The Girl Who Endured, a contemporary paranormal romance about a solitary woman who grows up in rural Vermont and who has visions of a soulmate. She goes on to a ‘Naked and Afraid’ style reality show and holds her own, but doesn’t find anyone who holds a candle to her dreams … This story is at 200 pages / 29 chapters and probably has another quarter of the story to go. If anyone wants to read what I have so far and offer feedback I’m happy to share.
After that is Elizabeth and Charlotte – a lesbian retelling of Pride & Prejudice. That will take me a while because I want to get it just right. I may skip it for now depending on how quickly I think I can work on the remaining ones.
Athena’s Handmaiden – a Historical Coming of Age in Ancient Greece – only four chapters done here. This may end up a short story.
The Girl Who Wasn’t Born – a Paranormal Murder Mystery Romance – I only have 3 chapters done so this will take a while. I’d aim for this to be a novella or novel length.
The Glasscutter’s Daughter – a Steampunk Paranormal Time Travel Romance – I’m only one chapter into this. We’ll see if this just lingers for a while until I get inspired again.
