Extra Intent Episode 5 Available Today

The new episode of my episodic novel Extra Intent debuts today on Kindle Vella. The relative peace CJ felt with the growing presence of the ghost is broken overnight. There is no more passive reaction to the haunted frame; it is live or die.

Extra Intent is an episodic weird fiction novel about CJ, a found object artist accidentally thrust into the lucrative trade of haunted objects. They are not the only person to have lucked into this world, but they are the newest and the struggles are real. The kindly grandfather who hand-carved the most ornate picture frames you could ever imagine doesn’t want to give up creative control over his life’s masterpiece without a fight and CJ is the one standing in his way.

You can read the first three episodes of Extra Intent for free on Kindle Vella. This is a new Kindle service where writers can release longer works chapter by chapter. Readers can react, which boosts the books ranking in the ever-growing catalogue of Kindle Vella books.

Any book is free for the first three chapters. After that, you need Tokens. Tokens are about a penny each, and each token covers 100 words. You can buy 200 Tokens for $1.99; 525 Tokens for $4.99; 1100 Tokens for $9.99; or 1700 Tokens for $14.99. If you imagine a full length novel is roughly 50,000 words, you’d be able to read the whole thing on Kindle Vella for about $4.99. That’s cheaper than a new release.

The revenue share for Tokens and reading on Kindle Vella is generous for authors. It’s probably my favorite of the Kindle services when it comes to that. It’s a great way to support authors and find some new books you might be interested in.

You can read all of Extra Intent here. Kindle Vella stories can be read online, on the Kindle app, or on your Kindle device.
