Hey ,
This is the weekly Thursday NL for S.M. McCoy for all things fantastical sci-fi fantasy and paranormal adventures with a splash of romance.
I'll start off with some indie temptations before I get into the newsletter below. Don't miss the giveaway and read along for Taking Medusa's launch party!
Indie Temptations:
A Vampire who doesn’t want to be one is dangerous to the woman who loves him.
He came for her heart, but she'll leave with his.
Saving a planet is a daunting job, yet that is what Arian must do. She has to find her betrothed. Once she has a hero at her side, she is sure she can wrestle her planet back from General Veral,
Orla has been Arian’s pet since they were infants. He is Miran, a race of shapeshifters that most think is nothing more than a myth. He was given to her as a gift when she was betrothed. A miran has to grow up with the person they are to marry. The problem he has is no one told Arian that he was her betrothed and her father sent her searching for her betrothed to keep her safe and get her off the planet where Veral had control. Now he has to help her find the man who has been with her the whole time.

Be aware you are signing up to get a series of emails with each chapter when you join the read along. Please be courteous of copyright and do not share beyond standard fair use/quotes from this read along. Feel free to share this giveaway/read along with others and have them read with you!
Why am I allowing everyone to read for freesies with this read along? Am I really, going to have every chapter emailed?
Yes, every chapter, full book, no hidden gotcha for joining the read along. Why?
Because I'm of the opinion that a pirate will plunder regardless, and a reader will share their thanks with an author regardless. If you read this read along and find you've enjoyed the story and want to say thank you, please do become a verified reader with Amazon, and pick up a copy or grab a signed paperback to support the continuation of the series.
Similar to tv series, without enough engagement/audience/support, then there is no season two. If you are able there are many ways to support an indie author including simply joining the read along, sharing your star rating and thoughts with a review on Amazon. If you're able, then becoming a verified reader by grabbing the ebook! Share with readers/friends that you think would enjoy reading the book with you! Facebook Groups, Instagram, socials.
Help me reach new readers, and spread the word.
