Hey Guardians!

It’s finally December and you know what that means–holiday festivities, colder weather, and lots of writing time as I put the finishing touches on Rising Dawn! We are all wrapped up in the busy holiday season, but I have been hard at work finishing Rising Dawn. Release day is almost here! I am so excited for this book to be out in the world in January! I have some exciting updates to share on the Rising Dawn and King’s Bride audiobook release, some amazing sales, preorder incentives, and even some new artwork.

The King’s Bride’s audiobook release is less than a month away (woohoo!!), and will be available on Audible on January 2nd. Preorder your audiobook now and submit your proof of preorder to receive a beautiful new art print by @camillelou_illustration and holographic sticker. Reveal coming soon!

As a bonus, all audiobook preorder submissions will be entered in a raffle to win a Jokull & Suneva pin, designed by the talented @buchinelle. The pins are absolutely stunning and I think you’re going to love them!

Announcing the Chronicles of Urn exclusive pin collection!

These beautiful King’s Bride pins are four inches tall with a pin on pin design featuring a pearl finish and glass gradient background. They will be available in two variants, Nigh and Day. Pins will be sold individually or in a pair with a keepsake box. Does this mean King’s Kiss will get a pin set? Absolutely!

Mark your calendars, because Rising Dawn officially releases on January 16, 2024! Don’t forget to submit your proof of preorder to get your free swag. If you preordered directly from my shop, you don’t need to submit a form.

If you want a chance to preorder the exclusive edition, there will be a few extra books and boxes after initial preorders have been released. Sign up for the waitlist under the store listing in the shop to be notified.

Zev Art Reveal!

Also, we have some gorgeous new Zev art by @camillelou_illustration, now available in the shop! How dreamy is this?!

Ladies, when I saw this piece of work I may have squealed. Zev looks absolutely feral and I love it! 😍

And finally, I’m excited to share that I’m expanding my team to welcome my new PA, Sarah (@thebookishmusician). This is going to be a huge help with all of the organization, deadlines, and everything else that goes into the book process.

Hi everyone! My name is Sarah, and I’m so excited to be joining Beck’s team as her new PA! I’ve been a fan of Beck’s books since I discovered them in 2021, and I’m thrilled to get to help her with all of the behind the scenes action. There are so many exciting things coming up for both of the Guardians of the Maiden and Chronicles of Urn series and it’s going to be a great year ahead! You can reach me on Instagram and TikTok as @thebookishmusician, or by emailing sarah@beckmichaels.com.

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m SO excited to return to the world of Urn and to share more about these little moments between the characters.

Dyna and Cassiel are my favorite grumpy/sunshine duo, but I just realized Lucenna and Klyde fall into that trope too, with all their snappy banter and moments of tension mixed with humor. Lucenna’s character has become such a vital part of the group, and we still have even more to learn about her background and story in Rising Dawn.

Thank you all for loving and supporting my books… and get excited, because it’s almost release day! That is all I have for now, darlings. If you celebrate, have a Merry Christmas!

As always, stay safe and read good books,

xoxo

Beck
