I've always been sure shorter works are best-suited for the Kindle-generation. Fast and furious stories of action and mystery... Those are my strenghts anyway. I've often received the comment my work is great for reading during commutes to work. I decided to bring out several novelettes and I've got a novella coming up.
But the success of The Honey Trap made me put out a new short story: No Dead Body In Sight. It's a ''high-concept'' PI mystery featuring my usual protagonist Noah Milano. Here's the description:
An aging movie star is sure she discovered a dead body on the beach. When the police arrives there's no deady body in sight. She hires Noah Milano, son of a mobster and security specialist to prove she's not crazy. Trying to uncover this mystery Noah soon finds himself in grave danger...
I agree. My Burleigh Drummond short stories sell consistently in the Kindle format. O'Neil De Noux has had phenomenal success with short stories in the Kindle format.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI don't know about short stories, but novellas for a buck seems to be popular. I would combine both novellas and full lenght novels as a career plan, but there seems to be somthing there.
