The Return of The Smart One

A quick bit of news that’s late in coming. I’ve posted the contents of my new novel, The Smart One, on Kindle Vella. This is Amazon’s latest experiment in serial storytelling, one that has already been pioneered, and well, elsewhere.

So the first three chapters/episodes/whatever are free, and the remainder are unlocked, as you read, with tokens. These are purchased from Amazon, but I think first-timers are given 200 free tokens, which will open a good number of chapters (token cost is based on episode length – The Smart One was deliberately made up of short chapters for reason of pacing, even before this Vella thing came along). And yes, I will receive royalties if you use tokens you have paid for.

Caveat for the moment: For some reason, this is only available as an iOS app, or on your computer’s web browser. Android compatibility is promised in the future (assuming this experiment works out).

And yes, there will be a paper copy available eventually. Sometime in early 2022, I suspect.

And stay tuned – there’s more JCF book news coming soon. Really soon.
