After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories Collection 1 is available now!

I’ve released the first collection of FIVE After the Heat stories as an ebook!

Available now!

Buy from me | Smashwords | Barnes & Noble | Google Play | Kobo | Amazon

Other: Amazon.co.uk | Amazon.ca | Amazon.com.au | Amazon.de

Return to the world of the Wolves’ Heat series from Odessa Lynne in this fun collection of short stories!

In this first collection of five After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories, revisit Ian (from Ian’s Choice), Gerald (from Gerald’s Lot), and Brendan (from Brendan’s Fate), and get to know Marcus (Mason’s twin from Mason’s Regret).

After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories Collection 1 bundles the first five stories of the ongoing short story collection After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories into a single book.

The After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories Collection 1 includes “Teeth,” “Growl,” “Claw,” “Prick,” and “Itch.” I’ve added a short preface and a note about the timeline for each story.

If you’ve kept up with the ongoing collection, these are the same stories. If you haven’t, maybe because you don’t like reading online, this is your chance to get them as an ebook and catch up! :D

If you do pick up a copy of After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories Collection 1, thank you so much!

The Ongoing Collection Is Still Ongoing

The ongoing collection is continuing (and it’s up to story #7: “Favor”), so if you do want to read the stories online as they’re written, you can still do that, too!

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. :)

“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

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

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.

New Collection! The R’H’ani Chronicles Collection 2, Volumes 7–11

The R’H’ani Chronicles have grown from a few stories that I just had to write, to a fairly large set of stories set in New United R’H’ani, Ani’Hain, and the Great Isle of Ani.

This could be Brylan from the second story in this collection, His to Keep, or Tyran from the first story, One to Love! I’ll let you decide. :D

I’ve put the next set of stories into a collection called The R’H’ani Chronicles Collection 2, Volumes 7–11 and you can get it now.

Expect true love, and a lot of sex. These guys are having fun! ;D

For more details and the most current links, see the main book page.

As usual with this series, I really recommend you read these stories in order! So if you haven’t read the first six stories, pick up a copy of The R’H’ani Chronicles Collection 1, Volumes 1–6 and read it first. :)

I had hesitated to make a new collection since the stories have gotten progressively longer and I’ve already put out paperbacks for some of the novellas (and have paperbacks in the works for the others)! But a new collection means I can easily put another group of the novelettes into paperback, so I’ve gone ahead and done it.

The paperback will be ready later in September. The ebook is ready now! :D

“Claw,” the Newest After the Heat Story, Is Up!

I’ve put up another story in my ongoing collection of Wolves’ Heat stories (After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories)! You can read it now from me at Laterpress (see below if you want more details).
