Welcome to the smuttier side of romance, , with alien peens and the readers who love them!
As we countdown the days until Her Alien Warrior's Launch on April 2nd, check out the current rankings for voting on naming the next alien dragon MMC that I'm writing! (During launch weeks everyone hears from me a little more... don't murder me... I'm just excited.)
Also... we are 36 pre-orders away from being able to pump ALL profits from pre-orders into commissioning NSFW character art of General Sou-el! If we reach the goal, you'll have helped me afford fun art for everyone! So share, share, share!
And don't forget to VOTE on the alien dragon!
In the running for NAME THAT ALIEN DRAGON are:
If you can't see the image of the current rankings of votes here they are:
Onyx is in the lead by 1 point with 12 points
Lachlan is a close second with 11 points
Nakayto is in third with 9 points
Draach WAS the first contender with early voters favorite, but quickly got overtaken and pushed to 4th place
Torma got mentioned two times
Othello comes in with only one mention outside of the original suggestion
How to vote?
Reply to this email or any of my emails really with a name. You don't even have to pontificate, just a single word of your vote.
The name get's an extra point if mentioned as a second choice, so yes, you can give me your second favorite name choice. I counted it as a "second" and the book got a little boost, not as much as being voted as your top choice, but it's taken into consideration if many had the name as a second choice it's possible it can be our next alien hunk!
Which one do you like best?
Make sure to give me your vote before Friday's newsletter because that's when I'll announce who's won the MMC alien dragon name!
Do you like voting on names? Do you want to do something similar with naming the next FMC as well?

Her Alien Warrior COUNT DOWN!
"I think this is the best fucking decision you've made in the last ten years," my best friend, Holden, said with a smack to my back, jarring my balance.
"You would," I snarked.
But it was my own mom that shook her head at me and dabbed at her eyes like I was about to walk out the airlock of a shuttle before reaching port. "I don't care what you and your husband have said to each other about this. If you do this your marriage is over. Renee, what will the kids think of all this?" She looked over to Holden with disappointment when she said, "I thought you of all people would stop her from going, after what happened with your own relationship."
"Ah, don't be like that Ms. G. It's because of my past that I think she should go for it. It wasn't until after I had a bit of separation that I realized I'd settled and was barely living. If her marriage can't handle this then fuck 'em."
"Language, Holly," my mom chided with a shake of her head, using his nickname that I gave him for always being the one to make me smile and never letting life take that away from him. Always jolly but with an H for Holden. Around Christmas time he used to tell my kids that he met Santa and Holly Jolly Christmas came from him.
They were grown now, capable of handling themselves. My youngest was moving out soon, and that's when it really struck me how alone I was going to be. They were both moving away, and all I had left was my husband, Tyler. I sighed with that same heaviness that set me on this course to the unknown to begin with.
"Renee's situation isn't yours," my mom tutted.
I simply stared at them both bickering back and forth about a decision that was already made. That's why we were here, hanging out at Holden's condo since it was closer to the H.E.T., Human Exchange Trade, offices. It was difficult to get accepted into an exchange program, especially on the planet Trillume, but this was a short-term research study that would give me the clarity I needed to move forward with my life.
Clearing my throat, I got both of their attentions. I took a deep breath to calm the nerves that came with completely uprooting my life as I knew it. I had no excuses anymore. Holden thought I should have done this years ago, and maybe I should have, but my children needed their dad as much as they needed me. It felt like pulling teeth to constantly remind my daughters to give their dad a hug, to spend some time with him, while also reminding him that he needed to make an effort, plan a day with them, don't snap at them for not warming up to him right away. I was the glue that gave them time together, and if I figured my own shit out then it would have been damaging for both of them.
My daughters were grown, they could make their own decisions on how they spend time with their dad or not, and he could make his own decisions on whether he made the effort to be part of their grown-up lives. But, I never kept anything a secret from my husband, including this. I even told my mom long ago about our issues, but stopped telling her that it was still true after realizing that I didn't need my mom's permission to make decisions for my own life. It took having a bit of separation from her when I was younger to finally say, 'no' to her when she tried to plan out my life, though the guilt still ate at me. That's why I was doing this exchange into the cosmos now.
Separating myself from my mother when I married Tyler, was exactly what I needed to gain perspective and take back my life. I was doing the same thing again. Why change what worked? I was running away again for the separation I needed to rediscover myself, this time I used the exchange to force myself to stay away long enough to know what I wanted.
"Dishonesty is what destroys relationships," I finally said to both of them. "I never lied, but I never did anything about what I was feeling either."
"What are you saying?" my mom's voice trembled.
"I'm saying I need to know that what I'm feeling is all there is, and if this trip confirms things… then I'll make the most of it. But if I find out that I can fuck an alien and feel more than I do with my best friend that I had two beautiful daughters with then I'm the problem. I can't do that to my best friend. I can't live with myself that I took away the chance my husband had at finding a wife that could feel that way for him when I didn't."
"Hey, I'm your best friend," Holden teased, making light of the situation, and that's what I loved about him. Loved… I thought with a pained expression. It was true, I loved Holden just as much as I loved Tyler. That was the problem. Nothing more, and I felt like there should be more.
"But you love him..." my mother insisted, still shaking her head in disbelief. And I did, love Tyler, that's why I had to do this. I loved him more than I love any other stranger or family, not including my daughters that are my world, and yet it was because of my daughters, and because of Holden, that I knew something was wrong with me.
I knew I was broken and would one day have to make this choice to figure my shit out. Being around my daughters, I felt drawn to them. I wanted to be in the same space as them, I wanted to feel them near me. And when I hugged them, I got a high like no other person on Earth. When they made me sad, I felt like my heart was being torn from my ribcage.
I was a coward, even now.
Left with the reality that when my youngest daughter, Laurel, left my home that I would have nothing. An empty, sinking feeling rotted in my gut when I understood that I felt alone with my 'best friend' by my side. The prospect of spending the rest of my days existing with my husband and no one else… haunted me.
"I'm going to the Blue District. I may not end up doing anything, or maybe I fuck an alien and come back home to live out my mundane life. I don't know, but no one looking for a relationship goes to the Blue District, so you can breathe, mom. I'll be back after a month on Trillume."

SNEAK PEEK at Her Alien Insurgent:
(All of my alien romances are stand alone and can be read without having read anything else, but reading Her Alien Prince will enhance the experience of reading Her Alien Insurgent, Quick go read it now in Kindle Unlimited! https://books.steviemarie.com/heralienprince)
"You seem to have been redirected from your destination and removed from stasis without proper procedures. You have been sold to a krelin based on recorded conversations since being activated. Ah, you are lucky. They are not transferring you to another ship, this will make it easier for my main servers to find you later. You were sold to a krelin named Domsal, and a pleasure district called the Kokova."
Great, I thought sarcastically, just another bump on the road towards finding Al-Hez. Honestly, it seemed too perfect to be hijacked like this, and this whole situation had all the underpinnings of being targeted by the bastard I was hunting.
If he thought being sent to a slut shack was going to stop me and my team from finding them, they had another thing coming. Indi would hack into their system eventually and I'd be out of there in no time.
Just needed to recover and be ready when Indi's main servers found me.
I shivered and pain shot through my spine.
"I'm experiencing a series of disruptions to my functionality as your temperatures continue to rise," Indi didn't sound "concerned", but that was just a side-effect of only having part of his data available on my implant. There was no point in telling me that there were disruptions when he should be saying which functions were down and actively trying to solve the issue, but I knew when he spoke like that it meant there was nothing he could do. He was worried, not for himself, since this was only a copy of his base programing functions, his main servers would be fine without me.
"I'm reprogramming the nanobots that try to connect with your implant to try to save the core systems when I'm no longer viable. They are not ideal, but they do as they are programmed within their capabilities."
"She is showing signs of the Fume Fever," someone said, but their voice sounded muffled and distant.
"If she is worthy of the hive then she will survive," a male hissed and a series of clicking noises filled the room.
I knew only the basics about the krelins because of their association with the estrelds, but that was Bryce's area of expertise to know about the species we came in contact with. Without Indi or Bryce to help, I was screwed.
"Protocol wizard initiated," Indi chimed, and I knew he'd shut down soon. It was just a reminder that he thought the error probability that accounted for the infinite improbabilities of one existing in multiple states at once like he explained that he did. I was rambling, and Indi sometimes said things that were hard to understand about himself, but it was clear enough that he believed given my molecular structure, that I would never fully understand his quantum computing functions, but that I would have to believe in the magic of the unexplainable, though he thought he was perfectly explained. Protocol wizard was a reminder to believe in the small chance of my survival even if I had to tell my mind magic was real.
Magic is real, Indi, I thought with a determination even my mother could be proud of.
I was going to beat this fever and Indi was going to find me in an alien slut shack, then we were going to find that mother-fucking asshole that set us up.
We're coming for you World Destroyer.
