Hello Tentacle Lovers!
We are a little over a week away from Launching Her Alien Delegate on Amazon on August 26th 2025!
Thank you for being part of my ARC team and if you missed grabbing Her Alien Delegate, all links are in this email after announcements.
If you haven't started reading, now is the time! We are 10 days until Launch on August 26th 2025!
(At no point are my reminders meant to pressure you. I want people to enjoy the books I write and want to read them. If you can't read the book by launch, that is okay! Read when you can, even if it's after launch.)
My only requirement for being part of my street team is to help share the book. If you haven't already, please take a moment to share a post on socials, like or comment on someone else's review on Goodreads or like and share a review someone else made on Bookbub! You don't have to read and review a book to read someone else's review and then like and share!

I look forward to seeing more of the ARC team's thoughts as we get closer to launch! And I'll email again with updates later, and of course to remind everyone when the book launches on August 26th 2025!
Launch Stats!
Every launch, I like to track stats. If you like indie book stats too, here they are!
I have 25 direct purchases from my author store. And 26 preorders from Amazon. For a total of 51 e-books so far supporting my books, compared with Her Alien Insurgent's launch which reached 99 preorders in May of 2024.
I have 29 readers who have grabbed the book from BookSiren, with 14 completed reviews, and 2 DNFs.
There are 40 readers from Booksprout who have grabbed the book, 6 completed reviews so far.
There are 28 readers who claimed a book from BookFunnel (It is possible some of these readers are overlapped in the Booksprout/BookSiren as I know some readers like having their readers stats and having a copy in their BookFunnel Library.)
Goodreads has a total of 22 ratings (4.09 star average) 20 TBR, 2 Currently Reading
Bookbub has 12 ratings
That's a total of around 97 ARC reader claims of Her Alien Delegate
We have 10 days until official launch, and compared to my launch of Her Alien Insurgent, we are 48 preorders behind its launch stats. Which means I'd need to see around 5 preorders or direct purchases from my author store every day until launch to meet the same launch stats. It's not impossible, but unlikely. I've seen a major dip in my author reach in 2025 compared with 2024, which could be from any number of reasons, not limited to an overall decrease in disposable income from readers, increase in AI flooding the market, or boycotts of the distribution channels indies have relied on to reach new readers. Who knows?
All I can do is keep plugging away and hope that you, my loyal ARC readers, can help spread the good human created alien peen word to other like-minded lovers of sci-fi romance!
In order for Her Alien Delegate to breakeven on launch costs, including the cost of paying for a human editor, book cover, and other misc expenses (not including my time to write or market) I will need to reach at least 160 readers.
51/160 Achieved of goal! We are 31.8% there! I was very frugal with this launch compared with other launches, so my expenses were less than when I launched Her Alien Insurgent, which still hasn't broken even over a year later!
After over a year of Her Alien Insurgent's launch, I now still owe the amount I spent to launch Her Alien Delegate. So, I launched Her Alien Delegate for HALF the cost Her Alien Insurgent cost. I spent around 875 to launch Her Alien Insurgent, and 480 to launch Her Alien Delegate. I had to use a premade cover to save on costs for Her Alien Delegate, which means yes I saved money, but also the book didn't have a custom look to it like with Her Alien Starbreaker's custom artwork. I also didn't spend any money on other marketing opportunities or character art like I could with Her Alien Warrior.
This launch is frugal, and I really hope that in the future I see an untick in revenue to afford lovely character art that I can replace this cover with later. Hope you enjoyed these stats, and I thank you so much for being part of my team! Until next time!

Please do share the book with your socials to help spread the good alien peen word, regardless of if you review or not. As always, being part of my team is NOT dependent on reviews. I do not require you to review to be on my team.
Yes, reviews help me reach new readers, and with promoting my work, but I care more about you enjoying your reading journey.
If any at time, you do not feel this book is the right fit for you, you can simply reply back that you are opting-out of this ARC. Not every book is for every reader. No hard feelers, and you will STILL be part of my team for the next ARC unless you state otherwise.
I want you to enjoy the book, and if you don't that's okay, but I do ask that you hold off on posting negative reviews until at least one other reviewer with something positive to say has added a different side of the same coin, so to speak. I do not attack anyone who does not like my books, in fact, I've kept reviewers that have given me a 1-star review before on my ARC team, and one of those reviewers went on to be one of my biggest fans in other books with 5-star reviews. Some books hit readers differently, and that's okay.
Thank you for being part of my team!
