Join “Scary Stories for Sleepovers” author & active HWA Member Craig Strickland on a horror adventure at a very haunted mountain hunting lodge. Each diverse local tells newcomers Kelly Allan, 18, and her ex-cop father, Ed, a nasty, unique nightmare–you know the kind. Shadow people. Black-eyed kids. A Japanese Teke-teke. The very recounting of these grim stories seems to awaken something–and people start vanishing. Then Kelly realizes she may be the key. (New episodes drop each Monday & Friday.)
When Craig was a kid, horror movie icon Lon Chaney, Jr. (the Wolfman, Dracula, Frankenstein, the Mummy) moved in across the street from him—and Craig used to mow his lawn. His website is https://www.craigstrickland.net/ and his Twitter account is @FictionCraig.

Happy Kindle Vella reading! We hope you enjoy the experience.
I so wish Amazon would open up Kindle Vella to other countries. Those of us in Australia can't even click through to these books let alone read them. :-(
ReplyDeleteWe are all promoting it at the KDP forum! It really is a slick publishing program, despite the early growing pains. I can't imagine they won't expand the program soon. They are pumping enough money into it trying to attract really good writers.
DeletePlease keep us posted, Dani.
