“Gift” (After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories, #11) Is Available!

Tonight, I published the newest short story in the ongoing After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories collection: “Gift”! It’s a return to Devon and Kem, set after Devon’s Gamble.

Devon has a birthday. Or, Devon is Devon, and Kem is Kem, and oh how they go together. ;D

It’s just a short little moment in their lives, but I really like it. I hope you do to.

It’s available now to read on Laterpress!

The ongoing collection is a way to get early access to the stories before I bundle them up for the ebook collections. You buy in chapter bundles (one story per chapter), so a 5 chapter bundle is 5 stories. “Gift” is story #11 in the ongoing collection.

If you read the story on Laterpress, you have my sincere thanks for your support of the series!

I’ve also been giving paid members of my Patreon access to the newest stories in the collection for a limited time so they can read the stories for free on a password-protected page on my website, and that seems to be working well. The link for “Gift” is already there with the password for current members. :)

“Gift” (After the Heat, #11) Is a New Wolves’ Heat Short Story Featuring Devon and Kem

A few weeks ago, I mentioned the four short stories I was finishing for the Wolves’ Heat series. “Gift” is the third one for the After the Heat collection, and I’m getting it ready to release today.

“Gift” offers a glimpse into Devon and Kem’s lives after Devon’s Gamble. Devon is Devon, and Kem is there to…well, I shouldn’t spoil things! ;-)

I really like this one. It was so nice to be back with Devon and Kem!

I’ll upload the story soon and post the announcement when it’s available.

New! After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories Collection 2 Is Available now

It’s time for another collection! I’ve put together the next bundle of five stories in the ongoing After the Heat collection and published an ebook version for those of you who prefer to read ebooks over reading online.

“Exes” and Oh (Shits)—Read All About Matthew’s Ex-tra Bad Day in a New Wolves’ Heat Short Story!

Twice as long as usual, because I’ve never met a short story that I couldn’t make longer. :D

Available now!

Matthew has an awkward encounter. Things only get worse from there…

“Exes” is the latest short story for the ongoing After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories collection.

For the links to buy and read, go to the collection’s main page on my website, or just go straight to Laterpress.

Since this is story #10, that means I’ve got enough stories to get the second collection up. So that’ll be coming soon.

More Wolves’ Heat Short Stories?

I have two new Wolves’ Heat short stories coming. I’ll be publishing them in the After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories ongoing collection.

That’ll pause the collection in a good spot for anyone who has purchased chapters for it while I focus on the novels. I really want to get Liam’s Trust out in the first half of this year and Eli’s Promise in the second half. And it’ll give me the chance to put out the second collection. (Chapters for After the Heat are sold in bundles of 5 and this’ll put the collection at 10 stories even.) :D

But I have two more almost complete short stories of the same style, one of which clearly isn’t an After the Heat story, meaning I really don’t know what to do with it. It’s a bit of a prequel for Liam’s Trust.

It’s a fun short story, but you don’t know the characters in the story (yet).

Do I release it now, or not? It stands completely alone, and I want to release it now, because I think it’ll be fun seeing how it ties in to the novel once it’s out. But that’s the author speaking, not you the reader. And I’ll have to figure out if I want to release it by itself and how/where to do it!

So, if you’re enjoying the short stories, be sure to let me know. It keeps me motivated!

Mason and Five Sneak Around (a.k.a. Marcus and Hawk Kiss and Tell) Is Available!

Finally! Here’s that Wolves’ Heat story I’ve been promising. :)

Mason and Five Sneak Around (a.k.a. Marcus and Hawk Kiss and Tell): A Wolves’ Heat Story

Mason goes home. Five goes with him. Return to the early days of Mason’s life with his new mate, Five, in this Wolves’ Heat short novella, where no one is ready for this family meeting…

This short novella follows Mason’s Regret from the Wolves’ Heat series.

Available now at Smashwords!

Publishing soon on Amazon, Laterpress (where you can buy it from me), Barnes & Noble, Google Play, Kobo, and all the usual places.

For the most up to date links, go to the book’s main page.

I’m so glad to finally get it to you! If you pick up a copy and read it, I hope you love it as much as I do. Mason and Five really do have a place in my heart. After their book, I wouldn’t have thought I’d have so much left to write for them, but here you go: my longest story in Wolves’ Heat Stories to date. This one’s a short novella! ;D

New Wolves’ Heat Story on the Way!

I’m just days away from releasing Mason and Five Sneak Around (a.k.a. Marcus and Hawk Kiss and Tell). It’s volume 3 in the Wolves’ Heat Stories series tied to the Wolves’ Heat novels.

I’m so excited to be able to get it out finally, since I feel like I’ve been planning it forever. It’s a companion story to the main series, like Devon and Kem Under the Mistletoe and Cam and Rick Play Dirty, but it came in quite a bit longer. This one is a short novella. I love it! I hope you will, too.

“Folly”: After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories, #8 Is Available!

“Folly” is a new story in the After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories ongoing collection (#8) and I’m so happy to finally have it added to the collection!

In “Folly,” Will and Abel have a moment.

Read on Laterpress

I don’t know what happened to the time this summer, but one day it was May and the next it was November! :)

If you want to read “Folly” now instead of waiting until it’s in an ebook collection (like the first five stories are in Collection 1), you’ll need to pick up the chapter bundles at Laterpress, but once you do, you’ll unlock 5 chapters of the collection with each bundle you buy.

It’s a Love Nest: A New Canton Republic Story Is Available Now!

I’m so glad to finally be able to announce this short novella! It’s a Love Nest revisits Gregory and Thrace from Of Magic and Mating, and the entire New Canton Republic series, really, since they’re always popping up in the new books. :D

How do you change a world? One nest at a time!

Odessa Lynne returns to the New Canton Republic in It’s a Love Nest with a tale of love and devotion—and all the trouble a family of monsters and magic-wielders can create.

Gregory and Thrace are in love, but Gregory sure isn’t in love with the idea of carrying a nest for his monstrous alien mate!

It’s a love that will change a world—if he’ll just say yes…

Coming this week! It’s a Love Nest

It’s official! Tuesday is the release date for It’s a Love Nest, a New Canton Republic short novella! It was supposed to be a short story, but it ended up as a seven chapter short novella (plus epilogue!), because of course that’s how it turned out when I revisited Gregory and Thrace. I love them so much that I couldn’t help myself. :D

Anyway, I’ll get the links up when they come in, and post a release notice as soon as it’s available.
