Cat Johnson’s Hot SEALs are coming to Amazon’s Kindle Worlds! What does that mean? Here’s a quick explanation…
CAT JOHNSON’SÂ HOT SEALS ON KINDLE WORLDS
On August 4, 2015, Cat Johnson’s Hot SEALs Kindle World will officially launch. Authors will be able to write, upload and sell their original stories written within the Hot SEALs Kindle Worlds guidelines and readers get to enjoy even more Hot SEALs stories contributed by some of their favorite authors or by writers who are new to them.
The all-star line-up of #HotSEALsKW launch authors includes: Delilah Devlin, Marissa Dobson, Geri Foster, Desiree Holt, Kennedy Layne, Elle James, Olivia Jaymes, J.M. Madden, Becky McGraw, Donna Michaels, Siobhan Muir, Susan Stoker, Paige Tyler and Sabrina York.
WHAT IS KINDLE WORLDS?
To answer that we first must discuss the concept of FAN FICTION, which is the tradition of fans (of television, comics, and literature) penning their own stories in their favorite fictional worlds. They write for their own satisfaction and to share their words with fellow fans of the worlds in which they are writing, on their blog or on dedicated fan fiction websites. The most famous fan fiction story is of course by E.L. James who originally wrote 50 Shades of Grey as fan fiction of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series. James’s fan fiction was posted as “Masters of the Universe” free online in installments as she wrote it. As the cycle continues, fans of James’s 50 Shades now write their own stories. The Big Bang Theory TV show might offer the most amusing example of fan fic in the episode “The Troll Manifestation” where Amy writes Little House on the Prairie fan fiction starring her as the 19th Century heroine “Amelia” and Sheldon as a time traveling physicist from the future.
Amazon’s innovation, KINDLE WORLDS, entered the fan fiction scene in 2013 as a way for both the creators of the worlds that inspire fan fiction as well as those writing that fan fiction to make their original stories widely available to the reading public easily, legally, and for profit. Kindle Worlds began by licensing popular worlds such as GI Joe, Pretty Little Liars, The Vampire Diaries, and Gossip Girl. In June of 2014, Kindle Worlds dove into the Romance Genre with the addition of worlds by, among others, Bella Andre, Barbara Freethy and H.M. Ward. Now, one year later, Kindle Words is growing again, launching new worlds in many genres, including a Kindle World for Cat Johnson’s Hot SEALs Series.
