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.

Book cover for The R'H'ani Chronicles Collection 2, Volumes 7–11 by Odessa Lynne — 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

Would You Want Audiobooks Read by AI?

I’ll be blunt, there is no way I can pay for audiobooks for my books if read by a narrator/voice actor. That’ll take a lot of money I don’t have. I love my books, but they’re pretty niche. :D However, I have the opportunity to do my books in audio with an AI narrator through Google Play. It’ll take time, though, to set them up, listen for errors in pronunciation and fix that, and publish them. That’s the hazard of writing fantasy, science fiction, and lots of aliens into my books. :D

I am on the fence about this, but I do think I’m at least going to try to put out an AI read audio version of Gay for Alex because it will the least intensive. It’s not a really long book, all the names are standard and easily pronounced, and since Taken with Tony is coming up soon, it would be a good trial run.

I’d like to know if anyone who reads my books would actually care if they were in audio. What do you say?

Please, I would love it if you shared your thoughts on this in the comments! Email works too. :)

Just Released Episode 16 of Mage in Love!

This chapter (episode) of Mage in Love is called “Back to the wall” and it’s ready to read direct from me and coming soon to Kindle Vella at Amazon.

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…

If you read it, feel free to comment here with your thoughts! :)

Kindle Vella rewards authors for engagement, so if you read the story on Kindle Vella and you want more, a thumbs up on the episode or a comment there will let me know. :)

Liam and Eli

I learn something new about these guys every time I sit down to write their stories. :D Why do these guys always surprise me? Also, is it a spoiler to say that Eli’s love interest is not who I expected it to be when I started these two books (Liam’s Trust and Eli’s Promise)!?

Also, look for a sneak peek at one of those love interests in “Prick” when it is published to the After the Heat: Wolves’ Heat Stories collection. I won’t say which guy he is for, because I really don’t want to spoil anything, but you will definitely see a certain someone again. ;-)

Little August Update

I’m not making a promise, but I expect I’ll be putting up a couple of episodes for Mage in Love tomorrow. :-)

I feel like this one has been a bit of a slow build. I really expected the story to go differently than it has, so if you’re surprised by how it’s gone so far, you can join me in that. :D

I also had plans for Taken with Tony last month that didn’t pan out. So I’m hoping/expecting to wrap things up with it this month instead.

The house is hot (the AC isn’t working well) and my writing is suffering in the humid air. Who wants to sit at the computer when it’s 83 degrees inside and at 65% humidity? NOT ME. This summer cannot end fast enough for me. I live in the mountains for god’s sake. You’d think it would be cooler. But it’s the damn humidity that’s killing me. Not the temperature. :o

Guess I’ll end this little update here. I believe I’ll have several more releases this year, if the weather, my damn house (falling down around me LOL), and my health holds out through the end of the year. Wish me luck! :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).

Cover for After the Heat: Wolves' Heat Stories featuring a view of the moon and clouds through a dark, menacing forest

In “Claw,” I revisit Brendan and Trey from Brendan’s Fate. It felt so good to write for them again. :D

If you want it now, immediately, you can get access to it directly from me.

Also, available soon on Kindle Vella from Amazon.

(Here’s why you get early access if you buy direct from me)!

Just Released Episode 15 of Mage in Love

Episode 15 of Mage in Love is available now direct from me (and coming soon on Kindle Vella)!

***Mage in Love*** is a serialized M/M space fantasy romance!

The episode/chapter is called “Make it work.”

Direct from me readers get it sooner, always, just because Amazon likes to hold stories in review for a while.

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…

If you read it, feel free to comment here with your thoughts! :)

Kindle Vella rewards authors for engagement, so if you read the story on Kindle Vella and you want more, a thumbs up on the episode or a comment there will let me know. :)

Asking for the Next Book

Truly, truly, truly appreciate it when someone tells me they’re waiting on the next book (whichever one of my books that might be for you). You just have no idea how helpful that is to me when I’m tired and don’t feel like getting to the writing. :)

So to everyone who emails or comments about waiting for the next book or wanting it, and hoping I will get it done soon, I promise you it doesn’t pressure me the way you might think. It HELPS me write more, faster, and is super motivating. ;D

So feel free to comment or email about the books any time. I love it!!

Taken with Tony for August (Updated)

This year, I’m trying to update a bit more often so everyone knows where I am on the stories. :) I am not great with estimating the time it will take to finish things, but I’m feeling pretty good about my progress on Taken with Tony at the moment. This is the follow-up to Gay for Alex, and it is Tony’s story (no surprise there). :D

Updated the estimated release date to August ~~July~~ 2023. I’m pretty confident now that I will be releasing it soon. :)

A Trade Paperback for Of Relations and Ships Is Available!

The trade paperback for Of Relations and Ships is finally available! At the moment, you can only get it from Amazon but I have a Barnes & Noble edition coming soon (it’s here)!

I like how the cover turned out for it, although during printing there are always going to be variations in colors, since that’s just the nature of printing and ink!

But here’s the cover flat. :)

Trade paperback edition: Amazon | Barnes & Noble

There’s also a little line after the end of the book that teases the next book in the New Canton Republic series. ;)

Tease for next book in the New Canton Republic series. Here ends Of Relations and Ships. The story of the New Canton Republic continues in the upcoming Of Ships and Treasures, a tale of magic, love, and alien abduction!
