Welcome!

Who am I? 

Hi! I'm SF/F author T.M. Baumgartner. I also publish cozy mysteries as Tess Baytree. People who know me in real life call me Theresa.

As far as demographics go, I'm female, white, born in North America, and solidly in the Gen-X demographic. All this is to say, I'm not the target market of most serials found on Kindle Vella. Serial readers tend to skew much younger.

What is this blog for?

But I do think there are serials out there on Vella that I would enjoy. They're just hard to find. Amazon's search functionality in the current version is execrable. I know this because I've searched for my own serial (*Dragon Freehold -- hey, it's my blog, I can promote my own stuff, right?) and had a hard time finding it, even though I know what keywords I put it under.

So my goal here is to search for serial content that I might enjoy. Would you enjoy it, too? I don't know. But I'll try to describe the ones I review in such a way that people who are looking for something like that can find it.

What is this blog NOT for?

I'm not going to do some sort of numerical or star rating. There are too many variables that go into that, and my 5-star rating might be completely different from yours.

I'm also not going to read genres that don't interest me. Don't expect me to review reverse harem serials. If those are your jam, great! Write your own reviews! You don't want to take the word of someone who doesn't like them in the first place.

What format will this be?

That's a really good question. I expect it to evolve. Consider this a work in progress.

Now let's get started!
