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.

After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories Collection 2

Headstrong alpha males, alien mates, and the bonds of pack, friendship, and love that tie them all together—return to the world of Odessa Lynne’s Wolves’ Heat series with this fun new collection of short stories!

Revisit Brendan (Brendan’s Fate), Salvadore (Salvadore’s Luck), Will (Will’s Hope), and Matthew (Matthew’s Chance) in “Scratch,” “Favor,” “Folly,” “Sweat,” and “Exes.”

After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories Collection 2 is a short story bundle that includes stories six through ten of the ongoing collection.

Available now at Smashwords and Amazon!

You can also buy from me.

Publishing soon on Barnes & Noble, Google Play, Kobo, and all the usual places.

Salvadore Is Back in a New Wolves’ Heat Short Story in the After the Heat Collection!

Leave a reply

Available now!

Salvadore is back (and sweating) in “Sweat,” the newest short story in the ongoing After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories collection. Don’t think dirty thoughts because it’s not that kind of story. ;D Devon’s there!

This After the Heat short story follows Salvadore’s Luck and takes you back to the early days of Salvadore’s life with Wolf.

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

If you read “Sweat,” I hope you like it as much as I do. I love getting to revisit my favorite characters in these little stories, so if you want more, just keep buying them and I’ll keep writing them! ;D

If buying from me on Laterpress doesn’t work for you, Patreon supporters have access to the story to read on my website for the next week. Feel free to become a supporter and read the story that way! ;D https://www.patreon.com/c/odessalynne

Finally, I’ll be putting out another ebook for the collection soon with the latest stories, and you can pick that up if you want to have a copy of the stories to keep. I’ll be sure to send an email when that comes out, so if you want to be notified, be sure to sign up to my email list.

More Wolves’ Heat Short Stories?

2 Replies

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!

Exciting News about Mage in Love!

Leave a reply

Mage in Love is becoming a trilogy! The first book, Sparks, will be coming soon. (I don’t have the new pages set up yet, but that’s coming soon, too!)

With Kindle Vella closing, I’ve had to adjust my plans, but the story will continue on Laterpress until Sparks is released in book format on Kindle and elsewhere.

By making it a trilogy, I’ll get to tell this story the way I always planned to, as an adventure for Jihu, Gaeru, and the rest—full of magic, humor, and romance, while the mysterious connections to the New Canton Republic universe grow stronger with each book.

(This does mean that the serialized version on Laterpress will end at the end of book one, Sparks, and the only way to get the next book of the series will be in book format. But it’ll end on chapter 41 since chapter one was a free preview, which means all chapters will be delivered to anyone who bought a chapter bundle!)

And if you’ve been waiting for a book release to start this one, this’ll be your chance to jump into the story!

I’ll post more updates on Sparks and the Mage in Love Trilogy when I have more news to share. :)

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

Leave a reply

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!

Leave a reply

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!

Leave a reply

“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!

2 Replies

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

Leave a reply

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.
