For the month of February, you can download 7 Workplace-romance novellas from various authors for free from Book Funnel. And when I was asked to contribute, what I came up with was a contemporary-paranormal (was supposed to be just contemporary. Oops) set in the modern-day Necromancer world.
Robin
I’ve been managing my uncle’s secondhand building-supply center long enough to know that I need to make an impression on new employees first. I’m five-foot-two and skinny and look younger than twenty-five. I start with the power suit and the power attitude, until I get the upper hand. Problem is, with Alaric, I’ve been bossing him around for a week wearing the stupid tie and shiny shoes, and I don’t think he’s impressed yet.
Alaric
The kid running this store doesn’t know that dangerous artifacts were dumped here in the clearance of a local sorcerer’s house. Robin’s human. To him, magic’s just a trick and a joke. My familiar Harry and I know better. If I don’t find the missing grimoire bound in human skin before someone less scrupulous does, we’re all in trouble. I need to ignore Robin’s cute ass and keep searching, although that ass gives me an idea for a distraction if I need one.
Saved by the Rat is a standalone 17,000-word story set in the Necromancer universe in modern times. (content warning for violence)
You can find my story and 6 more brand new novellas HERE – https://books.bookfunnel.com/workplacemmromance/3jpwl1296p
* Kaje Harper – Saved by the Rat
* Gabbi Grey – Ginger in the City
* Michelle Dare – Three Friends Wanting More
* D.C. Emerson – You’re Ours
* Rinda Elliott – The Spy Who Vexed Me
* Skylar M. Cates – Fires and Liars
* Madalyn George – Todd’s Home: A Hampstead Valley Novella
All these novellas are intended to be stand-alone introductions to one of the author’s worlds, mainly contemporary. (I kind of broke the rules. It’s Harry the rat’s fault.)

I hope folks enjoy these.
I am trying to get more information on the recent chapter Kaje included in an email today, under the title “Sunrise Sunset.” Is this part of a forthcoming new novel?
Hey Brian, I emailed you back. I’m pleased you liked that story, but unfortunately I’m not planning to make it a novel any time soon. I have a ton of those short fics on my FB group, and only a few go on to be expanded. (I’m working on expanding one now, but it’s not this one.) I do take note, though, of the stories people connect with, for my “maybe someday” file. Thanks for taking the time to ask.
