Working on Next Book

So, I’m currently working on my next book, working title “Magic,” just because I have no idea what I’m going to call this one yet. I’m really excited by the story and expect it to be completed soon. [This turned out to be Of Magic and Mating.]

I’m seriously enjoying writing the romance along with the fantasy and science fiction elements that make up this story.

Without giving too much away at this point, this has to be my favorite so far of all the stories I’ve written. There’s humor, action-adventure, romance (IMO, sexy, hot romance!) and the two heroes are just perfect for each other.

Once I complete this story (which I’m sure will lead to future stories set on this world I’ve created), I’m going to revisit the worlds from The King’s Guard and One for Himself.

The King’s Guard sequel will be a direct sequel and deal with the issues Leon and Geran are still facing, while the One for Himself sequel will actually be the story of someone else in the harems. :-) [That didn’t happen, which you’ll note if you picked up a copy of His One and Only. ;-) ]

I can’t say when they’ll be complete (yet) but I expect work to commence sooner rather than later.

If you’ve picked up any of my stories and enjoyed them, I’d be very grateful to have you post a review wherever you bought the books. I’m not currently doing any kind of promotion for my books because I thought writing more stories would be a much better use of my time!

[Edited: Anything in brackets was added later!]

One for Himself is Published

ONE FOR HIMSELF IS AN EROTIC ROMANCE OF THE GAY male on male variety and is definitely a lot hotter than The King’s Guard. The sex is more explicit and the language is more intense. It’s also a short story, so there’s that too. :) The King’s Guard was a short novel, while One for Himself is a short story, although it’s not that short at almost 7,000 words.

Here’s what I put up as the description…

In this scorching hot tale, Odessa Lynne brings you a short story of m/m erotic romance in a land where one’s status is equal only to the size and quality of one’s harem…

Ralen’s excited at the prospect of returning to a harem and he’s ready to prove it to his interviewer Nyk. Only Nyk makes him think less about the many and more about one for himself…

“Show me,” Nyk said, his voice deeper than it had been only a few moments ago.

Ralen reached down and slowly fondled himself, touching his balls, and then his cock, curling his fingers around the shaft as his cock stiffened.

These were usually the awkward moments, working to get a sexual reaction out of himself when there wasn’t any real reason for it.

He kept his eyes on Nyk, because looking at Nyk definitely helped. It wasn’t unusual for interviewers to be handsome—or beautiful, and Nyk was without a doubt attractive, his dark hair cropped just short enough so that the edges curled up at his ears and brushed the top of his eyebrows, his jaw and cheeks lightly shadowed, and his chest well-defined under the clinging shirt.

When Nyk’s tongue came out to moisten his bottom lip, Ralen’s body reacted, his cock going completely hard within the circle of his hand as the sight of those lips and that mouth encouraged Ralen’s erection like nothing else had done that day.

Ralen’s gaze skimmed over the increasing bulge inside Nyk’s loose fitting trousers. Despite Nyk’s unhappiness with the idea of giving Ralen special consideration, Nyk obviously found something about Ralen appealing or Nyk’s cock wouldn’t also be half-hard already and getting harder by the moment.

Sound interesting? Buy the story… :-)

The King’s Guard is Published

I’m very excited to have finally published The King’s Guard. While I intend to write more stories set in this fantasy world where The Treaty rules, for the moment, I’m just happy to have The King’s Guard online and ready for readers to purchase.

If you happen to pick up the book, I hope you enjoy it.

How I Write

I write on a laptop, in Word, at a slow but sure pace that eventually gets me where I’m going.

I don’t rewrite much later, but as I’m going through a story, I find myself rereading constantly and tweaking for that perfect feeling I want as I read. I don’t care what words I use as long as the feeling comes through. Sometimes that’s harder to do than others. I can find myself rewriting a sentence twenty times, but not touch the 10 sentences around it once. Because my goal isn’t to rewrite, it’s simply to get my vision from my head to the page in as true a fashion as possible.

I don’t really think there’s much else to say on this topic because that’s about it. I just write and write and write and that’s how I practice and play all at the same time.

A Short Introduction

Hi! I’m Odessa Lynne and I write fiction.

At the moment, my focus is romance fiction, of the short variety, and my preferred setting is the fantasy kingdoms of Hend and Yurt. Yes, I know the names are a bit odd, but those are the names that spoke to me, and I had to listen.

I also prefer my romance to be between men, for whatever reason. Trust me when I say I’ve tried to analyze why I enjoy gay romance fiction so much but the truth is, I have no idea. I just know that writing about two men falling in love, and all the stuff that goes with that, is often more appealing to me than romance of the male/female variety. I read it all, but I write what I write.

Just go with it. :) I do.

I hope to have my first story online and available for purchase soon. I’ll update when it’s ready.
