Most Asked Questions

Q: How do you pronounce Vesselless and why did you name it that?

A: Vesselless is pronounced VESSEL-LESS (meaning without a vessel.) I named the book Vesselless because *someone* in the book finds themselves without their vessel. IYKYK.

Q: Where can I buy physical copies? I've seen videos of people HOLDING PHYSICAL COPIES!

A: I planned to publish Vesselless myself on June 30th (2024). I opened a fundraiser on my website where people could buy a signed, first-edition copy BEFORE Vesselless was published. (This was to raise money for edits on book 2.) I closed these "pre-orders" in early June to get ready for my launch. 

​

Before I officially launched Vesselless, I was offered literary representation, and I accepted. Vesselless will be going through submissions beginning in August, and I am not able to sell any more physical copies at this time. The only available version is on Kindle Unlimited and Amazon ebook.

Q: Will Vesselless remain on Kindle Unlimited?

A: Yes! Vesselless will be on Kindle Unlimited for the foreseeable future!

Q: Where can I get updates and snippets for the series?

A: Right now, I am in my writing cave, so if you want to follow my progress and updates, check out my Instagram stories!
