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…

Kindle Vella’s closure and Mage in Love

Leave a reply

So, the news came down today that Kindle Vella is winding down. I’d been afraid of this for a while, but I do think it’s sad that it’s finally happening.

Kindle Vella might be ending, but Jihu and Gaeru’s story isn’t!

However, Mage in Love episodes/chapters are also available from me at Laterpress, so the story’s still available and will be finished!

I’ll be giving some thought over the next few weeks how I want to handle the story going forward, and if I want to continue it as an ongoing story on Laterpress for subscribers and for sale in chapter bundle groups, or if I should just break the story up into volumes, for sale at all the usual places as an ongoing ebook series, much like the Hend & Yurt series and the R’H’ani Chronicles are published. It’ll be a long one and I know that, because it was always conceptualized as a serial story, so publishing in volumes seems like the only way to go if I want to put it up as an ebook.

The last day to add new episodes on the Vella platform is December 4, and I still plan to add some new chapters before then, so I’ll be posting them to Vella, certainly.

This is also a good time to mention that you can still read the first ten chapters for free on Vella at the moment, and then if you have any tokens left, you can use them to read the rest of the chapters currently available! :) Happy reading!

Here are a couple of new episodes for Mage in Love this week!

Episode 34: “Everyone?” and 35: “Told you so” are both available to read now on Laterpress and on Kindle Vella.

In “Everyone?” and “Told you so,” someone gets called out and someone gets a little shy?

I really can’t say more. :D At this point, all teasers are possible spoilers!

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…

Mage in Love is a tie-in story for the New Canton Republic series.

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

Leave a reply

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

Available now!

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!

This Week, Next Week

Ha! I had things I planned to publish this week, but here’s my quick note to say that they’ve all had to be put off until next week. A thing I really thought wouldn’t eat up my life this last week is happening and it’s just impossible for me to get everything done that I need to get done right now.

So, stories (It’s a Love Nest, “Folly,” the first After the Heat collection, and a surprise Wolves’ Heat story for Mason and Five that’ll be published individually) are still coming, as are the Mage in Love episodes, but most of it will have to wait until next week! I do have the Mage in Love episodes ready to go, but I just don’t have the time to proofread like I should and that means I also have to wait before I hit publish on those too. Maybe I’ll get some time tomorrow for that? We’ll see.
