Coming Soon! A New Canton Republic Short Story

I’m so excited to finally have a (one of the) New Canton Republic short stories just about ready to go. :D

Here’s the thing. I originally set out to write a certain short story, but it didn’t cooperate. It became a longer short story, and I kept having to hold it back because I wanted a short story, dammit. But then I realized I was deluding myself. It wasn’t going to be a short story.

It’ll probably end up a novella, but I’m still unsure about that. :D I had to set it aside because I really wanted to write a New Canton Republic short story!

So I started another short story in the series and that’s the one I’m talking about now. :D

Get ready to revisit Gregory and Thrace from Of Magic and Mating in It’s a Love Nest! I’m just so excited for this one, and I hope you will be, too! :D

New Mage in Love Episode 29 Is Available Now!

It’s time for a new episode of Mage in Love! Episode 29: “Follow-through” is available to read now on Laterpress and should be available on Kindle Vella soon.

In “Follow-through,” Gaeru does what he wants. ;)

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…

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

If you go read the new episode on Vella, and you like it, give the story some love. A thumbs up is about the only way I know someone other than me is enjoying this one. :D

After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories Will Be Released As Ebooks in 5-story Bundles

I’m super sorry to every one of you who has been reading the After the Heat stories on Kindle Vella, but due to the change in terms on the platform, I had to make the call to remove the collection from Vella.

However, that’s pretty good news in the long run because it means I can put the stories out in bundles as ebooks which you can buy and keep! :)

The stories will be back on Amazon soon, but they’ll also be available on other retail sites, too. The price will be the same as the cost of the ongoing collection that I sell through Laterpress: 5 stories for $2.99.

If you want to keep up with the stories as they’re published, buying access from me to read on Laterpress is going to be the way to go, but if you want an ebook, then picking up the 5-story bundles on one of the retailers is going to be your best choice. :)

I do have another Wolves’ Heat story upcoming in the collection, and I hope to have the first 5-story bundle published within a week or two!

Because Mage in Love is an ongoing story, I don’t have any plans to remove it from Vella, despite the change in terms. I don’t want to leave any of you hanging on an incomplete story! Mage in Love is a true serial story so it’s fundamentally different than the After the Heat stories, which are complete individual short stories.

If you have any questions about this, just leave a comment. :)

New Mage in Love Episodes 27 & 28 Are Up Now!

I put up two new episodes of Mage in Love this week! Episode 27: “Sparks” and Episode 28: “Enough” are available to read now on Laterpress.

Episode 27 is available now on Kindle Vella, and episode 28 should be available soon.

In “Sparks” and “Enough,” the negotiation continues, sparks fly, and enough is enough…or is it? ;)

This is an enemies to lovers story, and it’s a tie-in story to the New Canton Republic series. I’ve been throwing out some hints about that connection in some of the latest episodes, but even if you miss them, it’ll all come together in the end. :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…

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

If you go read the new episodes on Vella, and you want more, a thumbs up and a follow will let me know! :)

Just Published Episode 26 of Mage in Love!

Mage in Love has a new episode!

Jihu and Gaeru are having an adventure…

Episode 26: “Not that different” is up on Laterpress now. It should be available on Kindle Vella soon.

“Not that different” has Jihu and Gaeru doing a little negotiating. :D

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

I’m thinking of converting this to a single price at Laterpress for the rest of the story, so if you want me to do that, you should let me know in the comments. If I do, that’d be one price for all episodes, paid once upfront to unlock the whole thing, until the story is complete.

If you prefer the chapter bundle pricing, let me know that, too. This change would be for you, not me! :)

If you go read the new episode on Vella, and you want more, a thumbs up and a follow will let me know!

“Marked” has Jihu in a tough spot, and Gaeru is not a patient man. ;D

First TEN Episodes of Mage in Love are Free to Read on Kindle Vella

Since a recent change at Kindle Vella, the first TEN episodes of Mage in Love are now free to read on Kindle Vella. If you’ve been thinking of giving it a try, this is a good time. :)

The story is coming along nicely and it’s picking up a little steam ;), and I foresee regular updates now until it’s completed.

Of course, you’re still welcome to buy access from me and read on Laterpress instead, but this is a good opportunity to get a bigger sample and read more chapters if you haven’t made up your mind about reading it. :)

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.

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
