Two New Episodes of Mage in Love!

I’ve put up two new episodes of Mage in Love!

The new episodes, Episode 23: “Scuffle” and Episode 24: “Lend a hand,” are up at Laterpress now. They’ll be coming to Kindle Vella soon.

Vella always takes longer, so if you want to read them immediately, you’ll need to get the chapter bundles through Laterpress.

Finally, the story is picking up some steam. ;D (Yes, that’s my weakness for puns coming out to play!) ;)

New Short Story! “Favor” In After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories

I just published a new (surprise) short story in After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories. I say surprise, because I didn’t know I was going to write this one, and it definitely surprised me when I did. :)

“Favor” revisits Salvadore, from Salvadore’s Luck, in the early days of his life with the Wolves.

Anyway, you can find it in the collection in the usual places.

Or go to the main page for the collection and see what’s in it, and where and how to get access to it: the After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories main page.

If you read the new story, I hope you like it! And if you want more, let me know. I love knowing there’s someone besides me who cares about these stories. :)

This is one of the chapters I promised earlier today that was coming, and here it is. :)

About Mage in Love

Jihu makes a bargain with crafty (but hot) Gaeru to escape death. One bad decision leads to another and, soon, Jihu has only himself to blame for the trouble that follows…

This chapter should have gone up a while ago, but oops, so here it is now. Another is going to be published today sometimes, and still another tomorrow. :D

I’ve had the first two of these ready for a while and just couldn’t seem to let go of them. That’s usually a sign that I need to think about something. Since this is the first time I’ve published a story while writing it, I decided to trust myself and hold on to the chapters until I was ready to let go. :D

Here’s a screenshot of what you’ll see if you buy from me and haven’t already unlocked chapters.

“Scratch”, a New Wolves’ Heat Short Story, Is Available Now!

There’s another new short story in the After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories collection!

This one is called “Scratch” and it’s another one for Brendan (and Trey) set early in their life together. You can certainly consider it a follow-up to “Claw”.

Get it from me and read it on Laterpress, or read it on Kindle Vella when it goes live there. :)

Also coming in the next few days are some new episodes of Mage in Love.

If you give the story a try, I hope you like it as much as I do! Happy reading! :D

“Itch” is a New Wolves’ Heat Short Story in After the Heat!

There’s a new short story in the After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories collection!

This one is called “Itch” and it’s a follow-up to “Prick”. Get it from me and read it on Laterpress, or read it on Kindle Vella when it goes live there. :)

That’s not all that’s coming this week! I have another completed Wolves’ Heat short story that I’ll be putting into the collection, and new episodes of Mage in Love.

It’s gonna be a busy couple of days for me, and I hope some fun reading for you! :D

I’ll post as things become available.

Anyone waiting on the short story for the New Canton Republic series that I hinted at a while back are finally going to get to see it soon. I’ll probably write more of them, because I really love my New Canton universe! :D

New Mage in Love Episode 20: “Loyalties”!

The story is branching out and picking up steam. :)

Buy from me to read online, or wait just a bit and read the episode on Kindle Vella.

Episode/Chapter 20: “Loyalties”

In Mage in Love, Jihu makes a bargain with crafty (but hot) Gaeru to escape death. One bad decision leads to another and, soon, Jihu has only himself to blame for the trouble that follows…

Cast so far:

  • Jihu – Smuggler? He’s up to something, no doubt! Whatever it is, he seems to be in over his head.
  • Gaeru – Big title and big trouble. What’s he planning? And why is he dragging Jihu into it?
  • Baeo – Jihu’s friend? Definitely not his boyfriend. Definitely more trouble than he’s worth!
  • Daehu – Sex worker who wants to be anywhere but where he is… Is he hiding something?
  • Taeom – Association Militia? Watch your back, Jihu!

Go to the main page for Mage in Love for a list of all the episodes. :)

“Prick” Is Available Now in the After the Heat Collection!

Cover for After the Heat: Wolves' Heat Stories featuring a view of the moon and clouds through a dark, menacing forest

In “Prick,” go back to the time of Mason’s Regret, where Mason’s twin brother, Marcus, shares some of his story with us.

Marcus has always looked out for his twin brother, Mason. Some things never change—and some things have to…

If you want it right now, you can buy from me. Or wait a bit, and read it on Kindle Vella when it goes live on Amazon.

You can always find these links to After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories on the main page for the collection!

This one might get a part 2, but I’m not set on that. So if you want it to have a part 2, definitely find a way to let me know you’re interested. If I think I’m the only person who cares, I might not get around to it. :)

The original story for this title was published as “Claw” (the third story in After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories). The second story for this title was published as Cam and Rick Play Dirty (a.k.a. Bel and Reed’s Long Night). But finally there’s a story for this title that stuck!

That would be this one. It’s not quite “after the heat” in the same sense the previous three stories are, but it is an after the heat story. You’ll see what I mean if you read it. :)

If you do, I hope you enjoy getting to know a little more about Mason’s twin brother, Marcus. I certainly did, and I really enjoyed getting to write it.

Just Released Episodes 18 & 19 of Mage in Love!

Jihu and Gaeru are having an adventure…and they have company!

Chapters, episodes, it’s all the same to me. :D I try to be clear that I’m using the terms interchangeably for this story but just in case, an episode is a chapter and a chapter is an episode. :)

And now Episode 18, “Into the flames” & Episode 19, “Is this a joke?” are available to read!

Buy from me to read online, or wait just a bit and read the episodes on Kindle Vella.

I have to say I really had fun with these chapters. :D

In Mage in Love, Jihu makes a bargain with crafty (but hot) Gaeru to escape death. One bad decision leads to another and, soon, Jihu has only himself to blame for the trouble that follows…

If you buy the chapter bundles from me, you’re essentially getting early access to the story episodes, since Kindle Vella requires the episodes to go through a review process and can take up to 72 hours to go live. Doesn’t usually take quite that long, but it’s definitely not instantaneous. :D

Go to the main page for Mage in Love for a list of all the episodes. :)
