Welcome to the fantastical side of romance with magic and myth, ,
First off, I don't normally message so often, it's usually a once a week newsletter, or monthly if you click the monthly option at the end of every email. (Monthly aren't even getting this email.) But as we approach the launch of Breaking Fate in 3 days!!! I have to remind everyone of my author store and how I do my release process.
Every new release, I keep my pre-order pricing at the lowest price that Amazon allows an author to keep 70% royalties. Anything less than 2.99 and the big corp smashes royalties down to 30%
There are only 3 days left to take advantage of preorder pricing before Breaking Fate goes up to my regular pricing of 4.99 after launch on Oct 2nd 2024 on Amazon. And TODAY only to receive this pre-order pricing in my author store!
That's saving 40%!
And helping boost my book ranking during launch week if you grab it through Amazon!
If you're in Kindle Unlimited, get those fingers ready to smash that add to library and start reading those pages!!! Early page reads help too when you read through launch week!
For those of you who are not into Amazon and prefer to read your books with a different e-reader.
There are only 1 more day to claim Breaking Fate from my author store and read today before I'm required to remove it to be compliant with the exclusivity for KU.
Grab from my Author store and put an extra 13% back into the pockets of the creator, me, by eliminating the extra distribution channel.
Read Breaking Fate today when you grab direct: https://payhip.com/b/CDfku
Every Launch, I release the book earlier on my author store to give people who are not Amazon Kindle readers the chance to grab my book through my Author Store before it goes live and requires exclusivity to be in KU. It's automatically delivered through Bookfunnel, and you can read today!
Do you prefer to listen to audiobooks? I finished recording the narration for Breaking Fate on FRIDAY!! It'll take around 10 business days for it to launch in Audible! So, by my estimate, a release on Audible by October 11th? It's as good a guess as any when it will pass the quality check.
You can start listening to Taking Medusa on Audible here:

What to expect from the Dark Gods Rising:
✨Greek Mythology Retelling
✨Fated Mates
✨Fantasy
✨Magic Realism
✨Prophecy
✨Forbidden love
Out of Context quote:
"Nothing worth having is gained without trial, and the deeper the ache, the greater the worth, because not having her should feel like your whole soul is shattering before she allows you the honor of claiming her. I'll accept nothing less." Breaking Fate

Blurb
My blood can cure death, but it can also be the deadliest poison on Earth, and the gods will try to kill me just for existing. Hades wants me to join him. Zeus is still bitter about an age-old prophecy that the dark gods, the monsters of Tartarus, will rule Olympus. And Poseidon is the key to everything, maybe even my heart, but his son, Triton, rules Atlantis, and I accidentally killed his daughter, Coraline.
All I know for certain is the gods have mistreated us ‘monsters’ long enough, and I’m yanking through the ribbons of fate to change my history before I’m beheaded all over again.
My name is Alessandra, most call me Aless, and I had no idea my family was more than just superstitious, they were hiding me from the gods, and lying about who I was.
I was Medusa.

Getting too much email? Reply back to this email with "Monthly" in the message and I'll move you over to my once a month letter usually sent out around the 15th of the month.
Please do not click that SPAM button. I'm a small indie author, even 1 single spam complaint out of my small 3,000 sized list of subscribers sends my newsletter OVER the "green" zone of below .01%. Anything over this percentage causes other readers who want to hear from me to potentially not see my emails as it hurts deliverability to their inboxes.
You are on my email list because you opted in either by grabbing my free book, finding me on the interwebs, or by joining a book giveaway geared towards meeting new authors such as myself. If you found yourself here by any other means, you're welcome to unsubscribe at anytime. I do not go around adding emails all willy nilly. I'm a one-person show here, and can't afford to have people on my list that don't want to be here. I follow all guidelines and laws regarding newsletters.
Disclaimer: sometimes my links have affiliate tags associated with them, this in no way influences who I decide to share with you on my newsletter, nor does it impact your experience with discovering new books. If anything, any affiliate links used help authors, including myself, subsidize the costs associated with staying in business. For instance, using a tagged link helps us see whether someone found our books from our own marketing efforts or through some other means, also with Amazon specifically, that puts a couple extra pennies from grabbing one of our books back to the author from the big company. More of your money goes to the author, and your costs remain the same. My affiliate links have regularly covered the cost of maintaining this newsletter. So, if anything, click on a link for my books, and even if you are not buying my book, feel free to go about your usual Amazon shopping to help support my books through stuff you would normally buy anyways. Stick it to "the man" and support indie authors while you do it. This has been a PSA announcement from yours truly. Sky
