Author's Description

Nine heiresses are missing in Gilded Age New York with no ransom demand. Journalist Miriam Cole's sister was the first to vanish twelve years ago. The only connection? They all attended the exclusive Pembroke School. Now, a bizarre murder has Miriam on the run, questioning the very nature of reality as she joins forces with a handsome ex-Pinkerton agent, a reluctant psychic, Mark Twain, and the NY League of Skeptics. Can Miriam find the girls or will New York City be destroyed in the crossfire?

Unrelated Griping

Someone suggested the New Releases section is manually curated, and it's depressing if that's the case. My new story disappeared is less than two days. Meanwhile, the carousel is filled with a bunch of stuff that appears to have been AI-generated (ie, nothing makes sense, the story refers to the "author" and "narrator" but sometimes also random character names — and I don't think this is intentionally experimental fiction), and there's one "story" where the first episode is all one paragraph, has about fifty names, no plot, no coherent narrative, and yet somehow the story has 76 likes.

I guess what I'm saying is that so many people are gaming the system with garbage just to get the bonuses that Vella is probably doomed.
