Hey ,
You joined S.M. McCoy's launch team for Taking Medusa! If you've already read and reviewed Thank you from the bottom of my squishy heart, and I'd love it if you could share your reviews today! If you find that Taking Medusa is not the right fit for you, or your reading mood at the moment, that is okay, just let me know and I'll remove you from the current team.
IT'S HERE! OMG OMG OMG!
WE ARE LIVE, PEOPLE!
(runs around like a chicken, or like my daughter would say, a turkey, I guess that's more in theme for fall.)
It's finally here! Live! And I'm pretty happy to report that I'm 95% of the way through narrating the audiobook, so the adaptation to Audible will be coming up quick! I had a load of fun narrating for the book, my only complaint is I wish I was a better singer for the nymph lyrics and when the bard sings the prophecy. Sooo, I autotuned the shit out of those parts. haha.
I'm so happy to say that I got an email from N.N. Light Reviews about how Nancy said she's obsessed with Greek Mythology, studied it in school and uni and she said my book blew her mind and she couldn't put it down! That is such an honor, and so heartwarming to hear.
I'm well aware my book won't be for everyone, but for the readers that it hits the spot for the book has been received very well and I'm absolutely touched.
Thank you everyone for helping launch Taking Medusa. You'll get one more email from me following up and giving you some stats and data on how things went next week! Let's get out there and spread the word.
I'm currently writing this right before I hit my head to pillow, and I'm not sure I'll be sleeping soundly tonight with all the excitement. My brain will keep on pestering me to do something else to help boost the book, to check on this or that. Release days are always crazy.
Haven't got around to reading yet?
