A New Rope: (Book One of the Beckman Falls Serial Mysteries)

I am thrilled to announce the release of my new serial mystery, A New Rope, on Amazon Vella. This is a project that has been years in the making and inspired by the two Star Wars guys in my life, The Tech Guy and Sky Guy! I wrote this YA mystery during the pandemic, and they have offered up their input into the world of Beckman Falls. Now we need your thoughts and suggestions!

As a serial fiction platform, Vella allows me to share the story in bite-sized episodes, perfect for on-the-go reading. It’s going to be a bit like our pandemic project, where I’ll be asking for your input throughout the process. I’ll be sharing reader polls, asking questions, and giving notes about the story on the way. I want to hear your feedback and ideas as the story develops. Join me on this exciting journey and be part of shaping the adventure. Let’s explore new worlds and discover what’s at the end of the rope together!

For those of you who prefer reading full-length novels, I’ll be publishing the final version of A New Rope in print and e-book later this year.

Join in on a wild ride filled with Star Wars treats, a modern mystery, and a treasure hunt that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
