Street Team Opt-In for Medusa Retelling ARC/BETA🔥✨

welcome to the fantasical adventure of fantasy and sci-fi with a slice of romance

Hey ,


You signed up to be part of S.M. McCoy's Street Team... and yes, it might have been a while since you last heard from me, unless you're on my newsletter. A little refresher, you possibly were part of the Divine Series ARC TEAM, or the Kingdom of Acatalec ARC Team. I write First Person fantasy romances sometimes they lean more sci-fi like Kingdom of Acatalec, and sometimes they lean more paranormal like the Divine Series with vampires, demons and witches. This list is solely for when a NEW ARC/BETA opportunity presents itself, and you won't hear from me again until another OPT-IN is available.


That's right, all my ARCS/BETAs are OPT-IN, so if you'd like to be part of the upcoming LAUNCH team for Taking Medusa, here are some dets! Stay signed up on this list to be informed of upcoming ARC opportunities, but the great thing about it is that you don't have to participate in each one, only the ones that intrigue you as they are OPT-IN, and you only hear from me when a new one is available, so make sure that you have my email as a safe sender so these don't go to SP4M.

My blood can cure death, but it can also be the deadliest poison on Earth, and the gods will try to kill me just for existing.


Hades wants me to join him. Zeus is still bitter about an age-old prophecy that the dark gods, the monsters of Tartarus, will rule Olympus. And Poseidon is the key to everything, maybe even my heart, but his son, Triton, rules Atlantis, and I accidentally killed his daughter, Coraline.


All I know for certain is the gods have mistreated us ‘monsters’ long enough, and I’m yanking through the ribbons of fate to change my history before I’m beheaded all over again.


My name is Alessandra, most call me Aless, and I had no idea my family was more than just superstitious, they were hiding me from the gods, and lying about who I was.


I was Medusa.


And now that the gods have found me… I’m destined to die.


Myth retelling 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 in Florida after convincing her over protective mom to let her go to college. Her previous life was erased from her memory so the gods wouldn’t find her, but fate has a way of repeating itself, and the sea is calling for her return in this page-turning fantasy adventure romance.

I was going to wait on launching this Medusa book, but what spurred this was that my favorite book cover artist posted a pre-made that MATCHED my book so abnormally well, that I took it as a sign from the universe. I mean... HOW often do you see a Medusa cover have "yellow" snakes and a blonde FMC? It was just too good to pass up, and I've pretty much bought like 10 book covers from this artist already so he was willing to make a minor adjustment to the cover for freesies and now it's ABSOLUTELY meant for this book! But... now I'm on a book cover purchasing freeze until I launch some of my already completed books, which is why I'm starting to push out some of my books that I was letting sit around.


Some of you are probably wondering when you'll get to see the ARC for book two of the Kingdom of Acatalec, Acatalec Chosen. Worry not, the book has a completed first draft, I will get around to polishing it up for ARCs soon, but my mind is very ADHD, and the only way I've ever been able to complete anything at all is by having multiple things to bounce between. I usually have several projects in the works at once, and it allows me to hyper focus on something and then when I'm burned out, I bounce to the next project, and then I usually cycle between the projects until a project is completed.


THUUUuussss, I've actually completed a few books in my Sky Robert pen name for alien romances, you can check them out on KU here: Amazon.com: Sky Robert: books, biography, latest update


And I've finished up this book Taking Medusa ready for BETA, and I'll cycle though to clean up Acatalec Chosen, then cycle to my upcoming werewolf romance, my dagger wielding fae romance (I actually finished book one of this one, but I'm not planning on releasing this one until I have the WHOLE series finished being written and then I'll do a successive, rapid-fire launch), and so on and so forth. I'm ALWAYS writing something, and I do always finish my projects, but with the way my brain works, it just takes some time between books to get back to a series. <3
