Welcome to the fantastical side of romance with magic and myth, ,
I got a new author logo! Katrina, made me a pretty logo for in-person events, including a beautiful banner and table runner! I'll be looking into what author signing events to go to in 2025-2026 I'm excited!
It's so pretty! My website banner has been updated:
I think I'll have the logo updated to have the leaves and snake bit be golden so it stands out a bit better on a darker background, but I think the new logo is super pretty!
We are 2 ratings away from reaching 100 for Taking Medusa on Goodreads! Only 6 ratings away from Breaking Fate overtaking Kingdom of Acatalec's reviews, my first traditionally published book.
Kingdom of Acatalec was discontinued at my request with my publisher, and when my contract time is up, then I'll relaunch the book, along with the remainder of the series in a rapid release launch campaign in 2027. It will get a completely revamped cover, new scenes and edits, and then I'll release the remaining two books in the series in 2 month increments. You can listen to book one in Audible, but that's the only medium available until its relaunch. I know a couple of years seems far away, and that's my fault for needing the validation that came with being traditionally published only to discover I had more success as an indie author.
I'm writing Reaping Olympus, Book three of the Dark Gods Rising series!
I'm currently 5,000 words in, and I've finally dug out of my book hangover from book two to feel the flow return to writing. I want to finish writing book three by the end of the year, and launch beginning of 2025.
Check out the Dark Gods Rising series! If you've already read and enjoyed the book, please take a moment to share your thoughts with fellow readers!

What am I working on now?
Book Three of Dark Gods Rising! Reaping Olympus! Progress 5K/90K = 5%
Goblin's Treasure! Progress 16K/90k = 17%
Goblin's Treasure, a standalone Labyrinth dark fantasy romance retelling. I know, I know... some of you are probably like, WHA? You need to be writing book three Reaping Olympus. And I am, but as you'll soon find out about me, is that I usually hop around books until one gets finished. Breaking Fate gave me a huge book hangover, and I'll be honest, I need a mental reprieve of writing something without the pressure of making sure the book is better than the previous books. Sooooo, I'm writing this one, with no expectations other than writing a fun, magical, romantically dark adventure.
Meaning, I think we're due for reimagining the Labyrinth and perhaps viewing the goblins a bit differently. Are you ready to join the Goblin Kingdom with your book bestie? What if your book date with your best friend turns into a nightmare of being sucked into the Goblin Kingdom, and being eaten alive by gremlins that look like cute little bunnies? What if Goblin Kingdom is so dark because of an ancient curse on the land and you may not be a chosen one, but your heart has certainly chosen a handsomely twisted goblin to uncover the secrets of the goblin's past and find what was stolen from you? Then maybe you won't mind if you became the Goblin's Treasure?
If you would like to help support future books, and this series, you can grab Breaking Fate on Amazon here or read in Kindle Unlimited! https://books.steviemarie.com/breakingfate

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
