Since a recent change at Kindle Vella, the first TEN episodes of Mage in Love are now free to read on Kindle Vella. If you’ve been thinking of giving it a try, this is a good time. :)
The story is coming along nicely and it’s picking up a little steam ;), and I foresee regular updates now until it’s completed.
Of course, you’re still welcome to buy access from me and read on Laterpress instead, but this is a good opportunity to get a bigger sample and read more chapters if you haven’t made up your mind about reading it. :)
This is one of the chapters I promised earlier today that was coming, and here it is. :)
Kindle Vella episodes can take a little while to go live. If you want to read it immediately, buy from me and read the story on Laterpress. :D
About 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…
This chapter should have gone up a while ago, but oops, so here it is now. Another is going to be published today sometimes, and still another tomorrow. :D
I’ve had the first two of these ready for a while and just couldn’t seem to let go of them. That’s usually a sign that I need to think about something. Since this is the first time I’ve published a story while writing it, I decided to trust myself and hold on to the chapters until I was ready to let go. :D
Here’s a screenshot of what you’ll see if you buy from me and haven’t already unlocked chapters.

Cast so far:
Jihu – Smuggler? He’s up to something, no doubt! Whatever it is, he seems to be in over his head.
Gaeru – Big title and big trouble. What’s he planning? And why is he dragging Jihu into it?
Baeo – Jihu’s friend? Definitely not his boyfriend. Definitely more trouble than he’s worth!
Daehu – Sex worker who wants to be anywhere but where he is… Is he hiding something?
Taeom – Association Militia? Watch your back, Jihu!
Chapters, episodes, it’s all the same to me. :D I try to be clear that I’m using the terms interchangeably for this story but just in case, an episode is a chapter and a chapter is an episode. :)
And now Episode 18, “Into the flames” & Episode 19, “Is this a joke?” are available to read!
I have to say I really had fun with these chapters. :D

If you buy the chapter bundles from me, you’re essentially getting early access to the story episodes, since Kindle Vella requires the episodes to go through a review process and can take up to 72 hours to go live. Doesn’t usually take quite that long, but it’s definitely not instantaneous. :D

If you can figure out what the title of this chapter means, you’ve got sharp eyes. :D
If you read it, thank you! I hope you’re finding the story as fun as I am. :)

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.
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.
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
