Look for this graphic for The Uncertainty of Fire on Kindle Vella.

If Amazon’s new Kindle Vella platform launched today, then you would find the first episode of my Christian YA historical, The Uncertainty of Fire, live to read. Amazon has not told authors when it will be available to readers yet, but I’ve made the choice to publish in this episodic format and try out this possibly pioneering road to publication. If you know any young adult readers who might be interested, please follow by email so you can get the latest information. Here is the blurb that will accompany the above graphic when the story goes live.

Chicago, 1871. A public blunder potentially ruins sixteen-year-old Whimsy Greathart’s chances for a future courtship. Agreeing to her parent’s matchmaking plan might be the only way to pursue what she really wants–exposing Chicago’s child labor practices. But when she leads her family into danger on the night of the Great Fire, her focus shifts to survival. She overcomes hardship with the help of a shy preacher’s son and a big-dreaming newsboy, but which young man will hold a home for her heart?

I hope to have more news to share with you soon.
