Welcome to the fantastical side of romance with magic and myth, ,


If you like free books then there's no better time to join my ARC TEAM!

Many indie authors, such as myself, always have an ARC team to help launch our new books! And more often than not we are more than happy to provide our books for freesies to anyone who wants to support and help spread the good word about our stories! Just ask! You can join an indie author's ARC Team and you get books for nothing but a pleasant boost to the top of your TBR pile.


I'm working on my Medusa retelling where Medusa is a goddess, and "monster" is simply a term the Olympians have labeled any god that was born from the Tartarus line. The first adventure of Medusa after the events of being beheaded by Perseus is a complete story with Taking Medusa, and her adventure continues with Breaking Fate, as well as her love life and discovering her own fated mate! There are plot twists and a fresh modern update to the mythos and legends of gods and monsters to be continued. And I need your eyeballs or ears to help launch book two!


Haven't read book one? That's okay. Join the team and get a copy of Taking Medusa for free! Or help support more books by me and read the book in Kindle Unlimited or listen on Audible!

A vicious, lightning-fast virus annihilates the population. The very fabric of society unravels. Then, the unfathomable—those who fell ill and perished awaken. They are ravenous.

Bakery owner Kate Halloran has always wielded her self-reliance like a shield: work hard, play hard, and never let anyone get too close. She can take care of herself, thank you. But now, with civilization crumbling, Kate can’t ignore her estranged sister when she begs her to flee the city for the refuge of Mayfly Hollow.

 

The farm is a fragile sanctuary. Who can Kate trust? Among the motley crew of survivors, a figure stands out—an enigmatic cowboy called Teller who oozes a lazy sort of charm. As tensions rise, Kate’s heart whispers that this man, unlike any she’s ever known, could be much more than an ally…yet she wonders whether Teller is genuine. Is his aww shucks persona merely a clever façade? 


When threats close in from all sides, desire and danger intertwine. In the ruins of the new world where secrets are currency and there is only existence or extinction, is something as frivolous as romance even possible?

Author Updates/Writing Progress!

Breaking Fate Progress! 62K / 90,000 word goal (68% completed)

That's right, the time has come! I've finished up launching Her Alien Insurgent in May and NOW I get to refocus on Breaking FATE!


What does that mean?


I've finished re-reading through my Work in Progress and am now creating new words in the story towards that ending goal of book two!


Book Stats: Breaking Fate currently has 19 preorders on Amazon, and 1 pre-order from my author store! The total cost of launching Breaking Fate is currently at $1080 (including 450 set aside for editing costs after I'm done writing.) and around $40 in preorders, makes us at 3.7% of launch costs covered. Goal of 225 preorders by October to cover editing costs, or I will have to rely on the ARC team and volunteer typo-killers to reduce launch costs.


If you would like to help support future books, and this series, you can preorder Breaking Fate on Amazon here: https://books.steviemarie.com/breakingfate

Or grab the pre-order from my Author Store here: https://payhip.com/b/CDfku


Do you want to join my ARC team?

https://forms.gle/zcXKjfRiEhsUhh5z5


(This form is for people who are not already part of the ARC team, if you were part of Taking Medusa's ARC team, there is no need to reapply. My goal is to have this completed BEFORE the kids are out of school in late JUNE.)


If you haven't checked out book one, this is a series, these are not standalones, and I highly recommend reading Taking Medusa first, even though I do write my books to be easily read regardless of having read a previous book, there are plot reveals and spoilers if you start with book 2 instead of reading book 1 first.


Convincing you to read Taking Medusa:

image

Mermaids! Medusa is kidnapped to Atlantis for killing the last daughter of King Triton with her poisonous blood. To be fair.. she was trying to kill her first, and she has no idea how she survived it. She has no memory of being Medusa at all!


This is modern day and she believes that she's a normal mortal after her sister (a gorgon) stole her stone body from the watery depths and reunited her head after stealing it from Athena's shield, conveniently left in a museum instead of guarded by gods.


Enter DION! An Atlantis sentinel, who has some strange connection to her, and TRITON, who is apparently a glutton for falling for nymphs and collecting brides that don't survive long past their marriage vows.


There are mysteries, and romance, and adventure as Medusa (Aless) is lured back into the chaos and schemes of the gods. She's destined to protect them all, but fate has a funny way of trying to repeat itself. Can she keep her head this time around or will she sacrifice herself all over again?


This is a slow-burn romance fantasy adventure, so there is no clapping the cloisters, tickling the tentacles, or fishing for fins in book one, but this is a fated mates romance that will keep you turning the pages, and twisting your expectations of myth and legend. <3 Read Taking Medusa in KU!
