Comments and discussion about the Dark Feather series by Randy Kinnamon.

Hello,

We’ve made the difficult decision to gradually wind down Kindle Vella in February 2025 as the program hasn’t caught on as we’d hoped. We are grateful for the authors who have participated and for the stories you have shared with readers. We remain committed to experimenting and testing new ideas to deliver unique and delightful experiences for both readers and authors.  

As we bring the program to a close, we want to give both authors and readers the opportunity to finish stories they have started. Between now and December 4th, authors will be able to continue to add new episodes to their existing stories, however, we will no longer accept new stories or story comments. Starting December 4th, authors will no longer be able to add new episodes to stories, and readers will no longer be able to buy new tokens. Readers will be able to continue to use remaining tokens to read published stories and episodes until the program closes in February 2025. In November, we will announce our last bonus for reading that took place in October, and as always, authors will continue to earn 50% of what readers spend on tokens used to unlock their episodes until we wind down the program in February 2025.

We recommend that you keep your stories live so that readers can complete the stories they’ve started. We also encourage you to publish your Kindle Vella stories as eBooks on KDP, and we have updated our content guidelines so that you may republish immediately as an eBook. On November 4th, we will make it possible for you to download stories directly from your Kindle Vella Library, so they are easier to republish as eBooks: https://kdp.amazon.com/help/topic/GUJHP3574Z3DLPZD#republish

When Kindle Vella closes in February 2025, we will remove all remaining stories. After this, readers will be able to access any of their unlocked episodes from the free Kindle apps on iOS and Android. You do not need to take any action to remove your stories in the meantime. If you would like to unpublish earlier, we will provide a self-service unpublishing option on December 4th, 2024 so that you’ll be able to unpublish your Kindle Vella content without Customer Service support. 

We will continue to post updates to the KDP Community to remind you of these dates and inform you when the download and unpublish features become available.

DARK FEATHER: IN YOUR DREAMS

Start here

Last week I published the first three episodes of my new story on Kindle Vella, Dark Feather: In your Dreams. The story relates the adventures of a brother and sister duo, Olin and Trudy Lightfeather, the two children of a Crow Indian absent father. When Trudy disappears after an outdoor science experiment on a chilly Friday morning in December, Olin finds her in a paranormal dreamscape where they each make discoveries that will change their lives forever.

Please leave a message and let me know what you think of my story.
