Of Relations and Ships Has a Release Date!

Of Relations and Ships will be releasing a little later than I wanted, but I’ll be putting it up on December 27th! It’ll be going up on all the usual places.

Because of the holidays, some retailers might have a bit of a delay making it available, but it should be available somewhere on the 27th. Amazon, almost certainly, and I suspect that’s where most of you will pick up the book anyway, so that’s good news. :)

I really wanted to get it out before the holidays started, but I just wasn’t able to get it ready in time. It’s possible it could be early, but with the holidays slowing everything down, it’s really not likely.

I hope this is good news for those of you who’ve been waiting for this book!

Also, the Wolves’ Heat short story, Devon and Kem Under the Mistletoe (a.k.a. Ian and Craig’s First Fight) is available and there is a new episode of Mage in Love! (Mage in Love will tie in to the New Canton Republic series … eventually. It might take a little while to get there, though.) :D

A Bunch of My Books are Discounted for the Smashwords End of Year Sale

My author page on the Smashwords site lists the books that have coupon codes attached to them for their end of year sale. The sale runs through the end of the year.

If you’ve been holding off buying any of my series, this is a great time to get a bunch of them at a big discount.

You could try the R’H’ani Chronicles, which had a new release last month, or my New Canton series, which is about to have a new release, or the Wolves’ Heat series, if you’re a hold out on that one, for which I just released a holiday short story. :-)

You could even try my M/F romance series under the name Lynne Sterley, if you wanted to see what I did with real werewolves. :D

New Wolves’ Heat Short Story Is Available!

The Wolves’ Heat short story, Devon and Kem Under the Mistletoe (a.k.a. Ian and Craig’s First Fight), is available at Amazon and Google Play, and coming soon to more ebook retailers!

Return to the early days of Devon’s life with his new mate, Kem, in this Wolves’ Heat short story, where even a small misunderstanding can lead to trouble…

If you feel like revisiting Devon and Kem, or you like holiday stories, this is the story for you! :)

A Hint of Things to Come

It’s been a long time coming, but it’s almost here! :D Of Relations and Ships is the longest New Canton Book I’ve written. But I think it’s a really fun story.

And a little something special is going to be out later this week. I’ve been thinking about writing a short story for the Wolves’ Heat series for a long while, and somehow, I’ve finally done it!

Depending on whether or not there appears to be interest in these short stories, I might write a few more. I already have ideas … and titles, like Salvadore and Wolf Steal a Truck (a.k.a. Matthew and Ash Take a Ride) and Gerald and Tanis Make a Bet (a.k.a. Gerald Wins Even When He Loses). So, to be honest, I really hope there’s interest. :-)

Update! Devon and Kem Under the Mistletoe (a.k.a. Ian and Craig’s First Fight) is available now at Amazon and Google Play, and is coming soon to more ebook retailers.

More Episodes of Mage in Love are Available!

I have an ongoing story published on Kindle Vella.

Episode 3: “Third parties”, Episode 4: “Sell out”, and Episode 5: “No such luck” are available now!

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…

Available on Amazon’s Kindle Vella!

You can go read the first few chapters (episodes) for free on Kindle Vella. If you go read a chapter (the first three are free), and you like what you read, a thumbs up and a follow will let me know you liked it! :-)

In further news this weekend, I’ll be posting the cover for Of Relations and Ships in the next couple of days and expect to have the book up before the holidays set in. (And I haven’t told anyone yet, but there will be a tie-in with Mage in Love … eventually (it’s going to take some time)). :D But I have faith you’ll figure it all out eventually if you read Of Relations and Ships and Mage in Love both.

New Story Available on Amazon! Mage in Love

I have an ongoing story published on Kindle Vella.

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…

Episode 1: “You Lose” and Episode 2: “Is It Really?” are available now!

Available on Amazon Kindle Vella!

Eventually, I’ll put it all together and make a book out of it, but that will be much later. So if you’re interested, go read the first few chapters (episodes) for free on Kindle Vella. :D

I would love to see that somebody besides myself is interested in Jihu and Gaeru’s story!

And don’t worry! I promise this isn’t interfering with me getting the next New Canton Republic and Wolves’ Heat books up. :D I have a lot of stories in the works and this is just another way to get one of them out, sooner rather than later. ;D

Never Enough (R’H’ani Chronicles #15) Is Available Now!

The next R’H’ani Chronicles story, Never Enough, is finally out! It’s a short novella that I’ve had finished for a while, but I wasn’t able to publish it until now. :)

Still, when I went back to look through it before getting it ready, I was really pleased with it. I think it’s a fun story and I hope you like it! :D

In this follow-up to Anything At All, Kalar plots against his new husband for a prize more valuable than all the trade between R’H’ani and the Great Isle …

But innocent Yestrille may be doing some plotting of his own …

Never Enough is another exciting tale in the R’H’ani Chronicles, where men love men and the rules of romance are complicated by contracts that bind!

Never Enough directly follows Anything At All and indirectly follows His Only Weakness. If you’ve kept up with the series, you know Yestrille is also in His to Keep and One to Tame.

Ahh, the threads are getting tangled now. :)

This is a long series, but the R’H’ani Chronicles stories stand very well on their own if you prefer to read them that way. However, I always recommend you read them in the order of publication for the most fun! :D

Here are links for Never Enough where it’s already available, but of course, the most up to date list of links will be on the book’s main page.

Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Google Play | Smashwords

Next up, getting Of Relations and Ships off my computer and ready to publish. I hope I’m not the only person excited by this news! It’s been a long time coming and I’m really glad to finally be able to get back to my writing and publishing. :)

Just a little update

Alright. I’ve had to readjust everything about my plans for this year but I’m still here. Really!

This upcoming week, I’ll be working on getting the things I was working on before everything came to a standstill ready to go. I’m picking up where I left off and will be publishing stuff soon and working on stuff that I had planned to work on during the first half of the year.

In other words, writing has resumed and all is well. I just need some time to get stuff done.

I really wish I could snap my fingers and it’d all be done for me but that’s not how my life works, unfortunately. :-)

I will update the site ASAP when Of Relations and Ships and Never Enough are available. Liam’s Trust is a bit delayed but coming as soon as I can finish it. Give me a few weeks and I’ll post another update about that one.

Take care of yourself, wherever you are! :-)

Whew! The next New Canton book is just about ready

I’m working hard to get the next New Canton book ready for release (Of Relations and Ships). This week was the plan, and I think I might still make it by the end of the week or the weekend. I’ll let you know details as soon as I have things ready to go. I’m excited to finally get this one done and out. It took much longer to write than I expected (seriously, I started this one more than a year ago)! :-)
