It’s a Love Nest: A New Canton Republic Story Is Available Now!

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.

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!

New episode of Mage in Love is out now!

Mage in Love has an update this week! Episode 36: “Associates” is a Gaeru episode, and it’s available now. :)

Finally some more Gaeru, huh? :D He’s been wondering why he’s getting so little time telling his side of the story, so Jihu stepped aside and let him have his say! ;)

Just hit the book page for Mage in Love and you’ll find the usual links!

New Mage in Love Episodes 34: “Everyone?” & 35: “Told you so” Are Available Now!

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…

Coming Soon! A New Canton Republic Short Story

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
