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 later today and post the announcement when it’s available.
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.
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.
For the most up to date links, go to the book’s main page.
If you want to see more of the guys’ lives outside of heat season, I really think you’ll love these stories! I sincerely hope you do.
For anyone who picks up a copy, you have my thanks! :)
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.
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.
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!
“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.
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.
Continue readingMost of my books excluding the newest releases are half price in the Smashwords Summer/Winter Sale. The month is ending soon, so if you’ve had a series or a book you wanted to try out that you haven’t gotten to yet, this is your chance to GET IT WHILE IT’S ON SALE!

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!
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.
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
