Welcome to the smuttier side of romance, , with alien peens and the readers who love them!

I'm dumb, I accidentally sent out my last email without updating my subject line from last week's email. I've updated it now.

Okay, so the last week, I took a detour and wrote TKManAteHer, a robot romance, you can check that out here: https://books.steviemarie.com/tk

I think it was a good writing exercise to give myself a bit of a writing break. To write something with no looming deadlines and attempt to write something shorter. I have always struggled with keeping things short, and many times I've tried to write a short story and it always comes out longer, like novel length long.

Her Alien Exchange was supposed to be 10,000 words as a fun shorter introduction to the Trillume Universe and the Necias Warriors, but... if you've read the freebie book for joining this newsletter then you'll know it was not a short story at all. It was over 40,000 words and nearly as long as my other books.

I will admit, I'm proud of myself for being able to write a book only 45K in length, that was my best shorter story attempt yet! Her Alien Savior was 90K!

I'm proud of how TKManAteHer turned out, and it even got that fun little #1 New Release Banner in Short Stories and Anthologies. (It's not an Anthology, but they lump short stories in the category, and it was cool to see it have a #1 banner!)

Author updates!

Surprise!!! Last week I launched TKManAteHer on Amazon! A short erotic sentient robot romance, to be enjoyed in around an hour. Perfect for a quick escape that won't interrupt your beauty sleep if you start at bedtime!

It is a complete story, no cliffhangers, 2.5 spicy scenes, and a romance that defies time itself.

This book was created on a whim, as a little distraction for funsies. My book bestie sent me a reel making fun of how a majority of robot romances are written by men with "Master, please service me.", "My CPU is overheating as I gaze upon your ~~average~~ ample-sized c^ck"

It was an injustice that the s^xbot industry is mostly geared towards cis men. So, I created TK, Thrust King, the male s^xbot with "attachments" made for pleasure. I really did try to make it a spoof story with puns similar to what we see in many of those AI robot stories, and it started that way. It really did, and like all my stories... the characters never listen to the director (author).

So, the story actually became quite sweet and not as spoofy as I intended.

It's available for 99 pennies on the zon, or from my author store:

Author Store: https://payhip.com/b/XgOuk

When you grab the book direct, more pennies are kept with the author. For every 99 penny book, an indie makes around 35 cents from Amazon.

Direct, I get 50 to 70 cents depending on if you use Stripe or Paypal as your payment method through my author store.

The short book is also available in Audio format 1 hour and 45 minutes, narrated by me available through my author store until it comes out on Audible exclusively. https://payhip.com/b/TpogK

Breaking Fate: I'm at around 62k/ 90k goal in writing Breaking Fate (currently available for Pre-order) Goal to have completed by end of June 2024

Dragon's Oath: is the next freebie I'm working on to give to everyone on the newsletter! It's a darker alien dragon romance, but with plenty of humorous banter to help take the dark edge off and of course, lovely spice with plot as usual. This will be a series; I have 3 covers picked up to explore this idea with!

Word Count: 2,379/50K

Goblin's Treasure: is a darker fae romantasy about being abducted into the Goblin Kingdom with Labyrinth feels but older and spicier. So, if you ever rewatched Labyrinth and wished the Goblin King had asked you give yourself to him and he would be your slave vibes, then this one is for all you monster fudgers that would have said, "yes" to the goblins.

Update: I was able to write 5,000 more words in this story this week. I got a little stuck in Breaking Fate and needed a little breather to get a better perspective on how to get to the next plot point.

Word Count: 14,209/90K goal to complete by November 2024

Her Alien Starbreaker My goal is to have this completed before end of September 2024 for an anthology (Anthology cover reveal in JUNE). Best of all, the personal cover for the book is commissioned by Deborah Garcia! So, this is the first cover I have made from commissioned artwork instead of cover designers! (Note: I make sure all my covers are done by designers that do NOT support A.I., No A.I. is used for my covers, nor my writing. I R hooman.)

This book will first be included in the Anthology along with 12 other spicy out of this world romances for 99 pennies, available for a limited time, then it will launch solo with the sneak peek cover below for 2.99, added to the Treasures of Trillume series, including paperback to really highlight the gorgeous, commissioned art.

Word Count: 21,684/50K goal

Check out the Trillume Universe with standalone plot with spice adventures of fated mates, space vampires, knotting, and bonds that will last beyond the stars! All available in Kindle Unlimited!
