Welcome to the fantastical side of romance with magic and myth, ,
As most of you know, Breaking Fate was launched October 2nd! We had 49 pre-orders on Amazon with 45 of them processing by the end of the launch week.
Did you know that even if you pre-order a book, that it doesn't process until you open your Kindle/phone to have your app accept your preorder by updating. So, if you pre-ordered Breaking Fate, be sure to open your reading device and make sure it's there! Four of you have yet to receive your book.
With the release of Breaking Fate, you may be wondering, WHAT'S NEXT!?
These are the upcoming projects:
Early 2025: Reaping Olympus book three of the Dark Gods Rising series
Her Alien Captor book three, a standalone alien romance with General Tensel also Early 2025.
Her Alien Starbreaker will launch December 11th in the Beyond Earth Anthology, and March 1st 2025 separately using the human commissioned art by @debanne_art
Other 2025 book launches: Goblin's Treasure (A standalone Labyrinth dark romance retelling.)
Dragon's Oath (Voted on by YOU for a dragon romance!) 2025 newsletter freebie
I don't have "dates" for any of these books yet, because I've found that locking myself into a "deadline" has given me a lot of mental stress that seems to make my writing progress slower and give me anxiety.
From now on, I will announce dates after I've finished writing the book and have it off for edits. So, once the book is being edited THEN I'll add the book to preorder, and have a date set. That will ease a lot of the mental load.
Please do support my books in the meantime, by reading, sharing, and checking out my Dark Gods Rising Series!

Two ruthless kings at war.
A princess with a terrible power.
Four broken warriors sworn to protect her.
Beyond the Veil is a limited steamy romance anthology including Tabitha Slick's full length novel Claws & Cocktails about a single mom pixie who goes on a blind date with a werewolf that turns perilous when she discovers he's a spy, their date is a cover, and in order to stay alive she must pretend to be his wife.
Unveil the thrilling journey of Rhidian, a human soldier with a hidden destiny as a Sun fairy.
Tormented by grief and powerless after the loss of the men who anchored her magic, Annika fakes her death, seeking refuge in a secluded town. For years, she hides her identity until a chance encounter with a dragon exposes her unique power to the Lord Commander of the Dragon Riders.
I’m trapped in a nightmare of alien experiments.
With each test, I feel my humanity slipping further away.
I'm left questioning who or... what am I becoming?
Hope you find some great indie reads! Chat soon!

What I'm working on now?
Goblin's Treasure, a standalone Labyrinth dark fantasy romance retelling. I know, I know... some of you are probably like, WHA? You need to be writing book three Reaping Olympus. And I am, but as you'll soon find out about me, is that I usually hop around books until one gets finished. Breaking Fate gave me a huge book hangover, and I'll be honest, I need a mental reprieve of writing something without the pressure of making sure the book is better than the previous books. Sooooo, I'm writing this one, with no expectations other than writing a fun, magical, romantically dark adventure.
Meaning, I think we're due for reimagining the Labyrinth and perhaps viewing the goblins a bit differently. Are you ready to join the Goblin Kingdom with your book bestie? What if your book date with your best friend turns into a nightmare of being sucked into the Goblin Kingdom, and being eaten alive by gremlins that look like cute little bunnies? What if Goblin Kingdom is so dark because of an ancient curse on the land and you may not be a chosen one, but your heart has certainly chosen a handsomely twisted goblin to uncover the secrets of the goblin's past and find what was stolen from you? Then maybe you won't mind if you became the Goblin's Treasure?
If you would like to help support future books, and this series, you can grab Breaking Fate on Amazon here or read in Kindle Unlimited! https://books.steviemarie.com/breakingfate

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
