Personal Author Updates:
I was hit with Covid, and am finally on the up swing of things. It knocked me out for a while due to brain fog, body aches, and fevered chills, but my brain seems to be focusing much better now.
I'm a bit behind on adapting Breaking Fate to Audiobook due to covid. I auditioned for a few narration gigs and got hired for a YA Dark Fantasy called Blood Song by Sarina Langer! And another one of my auditions from before also messaged me, so I might have two new indie authors I'll be working with to bring their book babies to life though audiobook for September!
September's plan is narrating, and finishing up writing Her Alien Starbreaker for the anthology Beyond Earth available for preorder at 99 pennies, launching in December. Once that book is off to Tracy, my editor, I'll be plugging away to write book three Reaping Olympus. My goal is to have it completed by the end of the year and have it out to ARC readers by January, and launch in March. I don't want readers to wait too long for the conclusion.
Support the launch of Reaping Olympus by preordering Breaking Fate! It takes around 1,400 to launch a book, and both book one and book two have not broken even, but I hope that with their efforts combined we can at least help support editing costs for book three from readers like you!
"Breaking Fate: A Greek Myth Monster Retelling" is a must-read for fans of mythological retellings, slow-burn fantasy romance, and stories of powerful women reclaiming their destinies. It's a thrilling adventure that will keep you flipping pages late into the night, immersed in Medusa's fight for freedom and the fate of the gods. If you enjoy tales where danger and suspense intertwine with romance and myth, this book is a perfect addition to your collection." 5-star review by Rebel See her full review here: Rebel (Bristow, OK)’s review of Breaking Fate | Goodreads
Dive into a Fantasy Romance Adventure with a slow burn romance that defies prophecy and a new modern twist on Greek Mythology.

NEXT: Reaping Olympus book three!! Progress: 2,652/90,000 goal 3% Completed.
If you haven't checked out book one, this is a series, these are not standalones, and I highly recommend reading Taking Medusa first, even though I do write my books to be easily read regardless of having read a previous book, there are plot reveals and spoilers if you start with book 2 instead of reading book 1 first.
Convincing you to read Taking Medusa:
Mermaids! Medusa is kidnapped to Atlantis for killing the last daughter of King Triton with her poisonous blood. To be fair.. she was trying to kill her first, and she has no idea how she survived it. She has no memory of being Medusa at all!
This is modern day and she believes that she's a normal mortal after her sister (a gorgon) stole her stone body from the watery depths and reunited her head after stealing it from Athena's shield, conveniently left in a museum instead of guarded by gods.
Enter DION! An Atlantis sentinel, who has some strange connection to her, and TRITON, who is apparently a glutton for falling for nymphs and collecting brides that don't survive long past their marriage vows.
There are mysteries, and romance, and adventure as Medusa (Aless) is lured back into the chaos and schemes of the gods. She's destined to protect them all, but fate has a funny way of trying to repeat itself. Can she keep her head this time around or will she sacrifice herself all over again?
This is a slow-burn romance fantasy adventure, so there is no clapping the cloisters, tickling the tentacles, or fishing for fins in book one, but this is a fated mates romance that will keep you turning the pages, and twisting your expectations of myth and legend. <3 Read Taking Medusa in KU!

Getting too much email? Reply back to this email with "Monthly" in the message and I'll move you over to my once a month letter usually sent out around the 15th of the month. Or click this link:
This link is just a notifier and only works if you click it on a recent email (I manually transfer over to the monthly list when I look at the clicks to the link before sending out the next email. If you are clicking this link from an older email, please "reply" to the email with "monthly" and I will update you.)
Please do not click that SPAM button. I'm a small indie author, even 1 single spam complaint out of my small 3,000 sized list of subscribers sends my newsletter OVER the "green" zone of below .01%. Anything over this percentage causes other readers who want to hear from me to potentially not see my emails as it hurts deliverability to their inboxes.
You are on my email list because you opted in either by grabbing my free book, finding me on the interwebs, or by joining a book giveaway geared towards meeting new authors such as myself. If you found yourself here by any other means, you're welcome to unsubscribe at anytime. I do not go around adding emails all willy nilly. I'm a one-person show here, and can't afford to have people on my list that don't want to be here. I follow all guidelines and laws regarding newsletters.
Disclaimer: sometimes my links have affiliate tags associated with them, this in no way influences who I decide to share with you on my newsletter, nor does it impact your experience with discovering new books. If anything, any affiliate links used help authors, including myself, subsidize the costs associated with staying in business. For instance, using a tagged link helps us see whether someone found our books from our own marketing efforts or through some other means, also with Amazon specifically, that puts a couple extra pennies from grabbing one of our books back to the author from the big company. More of your money goes to the author, and your costs remain the same. My affiliate links have regularly covered the cost of maintaining this newsletter. So, if anything, click on a link for my books, and even if you are not buying my book, feel free to go about your usual Amazon shopping to help support my books through stuff you would normally buy anyways. Stick it to "the man" and support indie authors while you do it. This has been a PSA announcement from yours truly. Sky
