I really liked the first 4-5 Anita Blakes, but then they just started to fall off ye olden plot cliff. I always found it a bit interesting that her plotting and mystery elements went straight to hell, at pretty much the exact same time that she divorced her then-husband. Hmmmm.....)
Yes, ditto. I suspect that Vella is a loooong ways away for me. I have exceedingly few writers that I trust that much. It seems like those of us who've been fans of a given writer, etc. are always getting hosed for ducats. (And don't get me wrong, dammit, I want writers and publishers to get their whack, I do. But I mean, DAYYYAM, as an example, Simon Green, an author who's stuff I've read for years now, has Kindle books at $20+! TWENTY dollars? For a license to read 192 print paperback pages? Yup, he's gone on my "will only buy used paper copies" list, so that neither he nor the publisher gets a penny. Sorry, but, ever since he went with Severn House, his prices have become obscene.)
Sorry for my  rant.

$20 for an ebook? Yikes. That’s highway robbery!! I’m all for supporting authors as I mentioned earlier, but that’s a bit much.
