Divine Blood Is Live!
Even as I write this, I cannot believe it is real. Divine Blood is officially published and out into the world. Some have already received your paperback early. I loved seeing your stories and posts. The hardbacks are on the way to my house to sign for those of you who ordered Exclusive & Special Editions through my website. Many were saddened that they sold out so quickly, and that international shipping was not offered. Well, I am happy to announce that I plan to add more Gold Special Editions into stock and international shipping to the store possibly by next month!
If you’re a fan of fantasy, brooding angels, magic, and a sprinkle of romance, please include Divine Blood to your TBR list. Now available on Amazon. Come join the launch party on Divine Blood’s Facebook Group today! It will run from 1 PM - 9 PM EST. Interact with other fans, and play games for a chance to win bookish merch and your own copy of my debut novel!
As always, I have some fun stuff to share with you guys! I was interviewed by the lovely Lev Lyonne on her blog, The Queen of Rambling Thoughts. We discussed everything from my journey as an author to my debut novel. Check it out!
Needing to Know the Ending
Today's interview features Beck Michaels, whose debut novel Divine Blood will be out on June 3rd. Beck is a true inspiration, who has been working on her series for fifteen years and has managed to create a world (and story) that sounds utterly amazing. She is following in the footsteps of Neil Gaiman, Sarah J. Maas, and the exquisite Holly Black, with a novel that has everything a fantasy lover could want. Read More
I am super excited to share that my store will soon offer character magnetic bookmarks made by Adorably Geekish. I commissioned them to make the main three characters of Divine Blood for me: Dyna, Cassiel, and Zev. I have received the first sketches and they are soooo cute. They did so well to get every detail right, from Dyna’s journal, Cassiel’s wings and sour puss expression, and the little details of Zev’s shirt. I can’t wait to see the finished product!

Doesn’t that just give you chills? I love it!
Thank you everyone who read the advance copy of Divine Blood and posted their review on Goodreads and Amazon. I enjoyed seeing what you had to say and being contacted directly by fans who just needed to tell me how much they adored the book. Your reviews have been so nice, and I am speechless by all the love you have had for my characters. It means so much to me, truly.
“Beck freaking Michaels you better pull up a throne because QUEEN you have arrived.”
—Goodreads Review
“Ohmigodicantbreathe because I love this book so much!
Watch out bibliophiles. For among us we have the next Holly Black!” —Goodreads Review
“It is a journey through the worlds. Get it, read it, and then get her other books and read those. Truly blown away…” —Goodreads review
I still can't believe I'm here. A lot of hours, tears, and sleepless nights went into this book. Real talk. I made a lot of mistakes and I constantly second-guessed myself, but I'm taking them as lessons for the future. I'll hopefully make fewer mistakes with my next book.
For those of you who don't know, book two of The Guardians of the Maiden series will be titled Bonded Fate! I had previously said it would come out in December but I'm leaving it TBD. I want to give myself more time to get this one right. But it won’t be too far off, I am thinking either late winter or early spring of 2021.
Now that my book launch is over, I'm gonna step away from writing for the month and spend time with my family. I've been swamped with work these past two months and my kids are over it. I plan to get a lot of reading done too. I miss losing myself in a book, and my TBR needs getting through.
This year has had a tough start all around, and the last few days have been heartbreaking. Please stay safe and healthy! I am wishing you all the best.
