Hey Guardians! I am emerging from deep in the writing cave to bring you July’s newsletter. I know, I know, I am so late but I promise it’s totally worth it. Buckle up, because this email is goodie bag of awesomeness! We are starting with a bang.

Stella (@petit_kitsune) did amazing on Dyna’s portrait, so I just had to get Cassiel done, too. She did not disappoint. I am swooning! Look at him. Prince Cassiel in the flesh. He’s beautiful. This piece will be included with the Shattered Souls print pack and in the Firelight and Frost book box.

Did you see the sweet Dassiel art reveal on Instagram earlier this month? This artwork was done by @saramirza_art. Pictured below.

Exclusive Editions

Preorders for all exclusive editions closed at the end of June. But if I have any left over editions, they will be released after initial preorders have shipped in the fall (September-November). Sign up for the waitlist under the shop listings to get the heads up first.

Regular Editions

Regular paperback and hardback editions of Shattered Souls are now up for preorder in my shop. They come signed and include the preorder gift swag (the bookplate will be swapped out for a sticker if you order from me). You will be able to order the book through other retailers mid August.

Maps

New maps are here! I couldn't change them much because I'm so attached to the original map design. @saumyasvision Did amazing to honor that and make them beautiful.

They have been added to the ebooks (Update your kindle copy to see it along with the new headers) , and will be featured in Shattered Souls and the exclusive editions. Working on getting Divine Blood and Bonded Fate updated as well. I probably make them into prints, too.

So what’s next?

Chronicles of Urn

I am constantly on the move with plans with current books and future ones. Up next is the first book in the Chronicles of Urn series. If you caught my last Q&A, I shared a snippet from my draft and other details on the upcoming NA fantasy romance series. You can find them in my Instagram Highlights.

I will hold a title reveal late fall. Release date is still TBD, but I am hoping for a spring release in 2023. I have been asked if the series will also get an exclusive edition book box. Maybe. It depends on the interest and on my schedule. If I do, it will be a mini box.

Translated Editions

Speaking of new releases, Divine Blood has been translated to German! It will be released late fall this year, possibly October time. It will be released in ebook, paperback, and hardback format. Early eARC copies will be made availble to German bloggers soon, so if you speak the language, keep an eye out for that upcoming announcement. I plan on having the entire series translated going forward, with book 2 and 3 gearing for release next year. And yes, Spanish is coming up next!

Book Launch and Giveaways

Can’t forget about the grand party! Join us on Guardians of the Maiden Facebook reader group for Shattered Souls release day fun and giveaways. I will also be holding giveaways for series swag all month on my Instagram.

Cassiel and Dyna have my heart. I adore these two and every moment they have in Shattered Souls.

When I write, my goal is to bring out an emotion in each scene for all the characters, and they experience them all. Fear, joy, hope, anger, sadness, love. So much love. You can't go through life without feeling something in some way, shape, or form. That's true about reading, too.

The series has come far from that first letter on the page. It's grown and taken shape into something I never thought possible. This book is longer, grittier and darker than the rest, and by far my favorite. We are only midway through their adventure and the stakes will only get higher from here.

That is all for now Guardians! Next time you hear from me, book three in the Guardians of the Maiden series will be released into the world. Thank you for coming along with me on Cassiel's and Dyna's journey. Keep scrolling for a newsletter only giveaway.

As always, stay safe and read good books,

xoxo
