Hi ,
You're receiving this email because you're part of my ARC TEAM!
You opt-ed in or signed up via my Google form for Breaking Fate. As part of the ARC team, I do a few updates before launch, at launch and after launch. This is not an ongoing newsletter, This is for the active ARC team only, which means, after launch month, you will no longer get emails about the book, the next email you'll get will be when there is a new ARC to opt-in for after launch of Breaking Fate.
COUNT DOWN!
Today is my BIRTHDAY! And I thought it would be a great day to share some updates with you!
(Reminder this is not meant to pressure you. I'm sharing the excitement and updates about the launch of Breaking Fate! You are not required to review my book at all. If you choose to review Taking Medusa or Breaking Fate, links are in this email.)
Two Weeks until Launch on October 2nd!
Breaking Fate now has reviews, to reads, currently reading on Goodreads! Have you added the book to your shelves? You can here:
Breaking Fate (Dark Gods Rising, #2) by S.M. McCoy | Goodreads
There are 44 preorders on Amazon
Taking Medusa launched with 38 preorders last year in October, so we are already doing better than book one, so that's a great start!
Also, I'm in progress of adapting the book to Audiobook for Audible!
Covid knocked me on my ass for a couple of weeks at the end of August, setting my scheduled back, but I'm pushing to get back on track! I just finished up recording chapter 11 of Breaking Fate, making me 44% of the way through!
And September is my birthday month! Well, today actually, but I'm going to claim the whole month for myself, because why not?
In celebration earlier this month I joined the romance book blast, and I hope you were able to pick up Taking Medusa during the promo.
There were over 8,300+ downloads of the book during the event!
And we finally reached over 50+ ratings on Amazon. New author milestone unlocked, and reaching for the next milestone of 100+ ratings to force Amazon's algorithms to help find new readers based on what reviewers have said about the book.
TODAY, if you're on StoryGraph, I have Taking Medusa part of their beta program Giveaways. So, if you wanted to have a physical book trophy on the shelf, this would be a great way to get one, by joining the fun, and you can add the book to your shelves! I love this Goodreads alternative, all the graphs and data are fun!

Breaking Fate's launch is on October 2nd 2024.
Death will take me, in its flames I will rise.
In a world of gods and monsters, prophecy and fate sway hearts and minds until a monster rises to rule them all, and darkness rises on Olympus.
Caught in a deal with the King of the Underworld, Medusa must learn to embrace her power and conquer the darkness in her own mind to protect the dark gods and free herself from the ties that bind her. Reconciling the truth of the past and accepting control over her future, she discovers the strings of fate aren't so easily unraveled. Hades and Poseidon play games with her life, but with the help of new and old allies she pushes to reclaim her destiny for herself. She just didn't expect her heart to play such a vital role in deciding what fate she fights for while the very lives of the deathless gods hang in the balance.
Dive into this slow-burn fantasy adventure with a romance that defies prophecy in this page-turning continuation of Medusa's untold story.
Using current known Greek myths as we know them and retelling them from Medusa’s perspective. After all, history is written by the victors, and the bards got the story all wrong. Poets were influenced by the reigning Olympians, and Medusa still lives and she's fighting through fate to become whole so she can save the very gods that wish to destroy her to keep the one who's stolen her heart.
A paranormal myth and legends adventure romance, plot with spice, that will have you flipping pages well past your bedtime to know what happens next as the dark gods rise up and prove being a hero is a matter of perspective and plot twists that will have you squirming for more.

Disclaimer due to many threads and social media about ARC teams.
I do not require anyone on my team to review. I do not want anyone to force themselves to read my book if they don't enjoy it. You are welcome to simply say the book is not for you and that does not disqualify you from rejoining a future team for a different book. No hard feelers. I do not control when you choose to review or how you choose to do so. Nor do I micromanage this team to bug you for your thoughts. This is why I have my teams opt-in, always.
I want cheerleaders on my team, people who want to be here and enjoy my writing.
I do email the team about updates, and reminders of upcoming dates and sharing of general news about reviews and stats of the launch of Breaking Fate. If you do not want to receive these updates, feel free to let me know and I will remove your email from this active ARC list. You are not added to my regular newsletter for being part of my team, though many of you are already part of my newsletter and joined my team from that.
If you choose to join my newsletter sent on Thursdays for my S.M. McCoy, you can choose to do so here: https://sendfox.com/SMMcCoy
If you choose to join my Alien Romance newsletter for Sky Robert, this is sent on Tuesdays and Fridays, you can join here and receive Her Alien Exchange for freesies, if you haven't already: https://books.steviemarie.com/heralienexchange
You can, at anytime, simply tell me you'd prefer only monthly, and I can manually add you to the monthly listing instead. (reply back with "I want to join your monthly newsletter!)
And a reminder, I R HOOMAN. Be not afraid to contact me at anytime. I will not be upset with you if you tell me that you are passing on reading the book because it's not right for you. That is okay. You want to bug me about how much you loved the book and you're upset that you have to wait for book three, that is also welcomed. You were shocked at the plot twist and you need to vent to someone that is okay with spoilers, I'm your girl. Go ahead and email away. You are a V.I.P. here, and I love to hear from you!
Chat soon!
xoxo
