Happy New Year!

Wow, it’s been a rough year, but that’s behind us now. 2020 is over and 2021 is here! I felt like I could finally breathe fresh air when the clock struck midnight. It’s a new year for new opportunities. How was your Christmas? We kept it small this year. I just spent the holiday at home with my husband and children. 

While 2020 had its low points, some good things happened, too. It was the year I took the plunge and published Divine Blood. I knew the risk of putting it out there during a pandemic but I thought I might never publish if I didn’t. I was pleasantly surprised by readers' response; it’s been so well received beyond what I could ever imagine. I got to see Divine Blood in two book subscription boxes; I got to meet fans from all over the world, I’ve seen it climb the charts and pop up all over Instagram. I cried when my book made bestseller in three categories last month, and it’s stayed within the top five since then. I am truly living the dream and it's all thanks to you.

And because this is a newsletter, I of course have news to share. I am so excited to announce that Divine Blood will be released in audiobook form later this year! That’s been sitting on my to do list for a while now, so I am ecstatic that it’s finally coming soon. To celebrate, I’ll hold a giveaway for a copy when it comes out.

Speaking of new releases, I will hold a cover reveal for Bonded Fate in a couple weeks! I am now recruiting for my Street Team to help spread the word, share teasers, and join in on the cover reveal.

Here is another teaser!

The stakes will be higher, all the Guardians will be introduced, and we will delve deeper into the workings of our main trio. I am super excited about this book and I cannot wait to share it with you. My deadline to get the first draft to my editor is coming up, that being said I’ve decided to take a mini hiatus from social media after January 18th and go deep into my writers cave to finish this book. I’ll be off Instagram and Facebook for the month but I promise I’m still here and I will be back.

I love writing, sharing my fantasy world, and connecting with readers through my books. When I first wrote about Dyna and her guardian angel, I had no idea it would one day become a book loved by so many. It touches my heart to hear how much my characters and their struggles mean to you, and how excited you are to follow their story as it continues. You are my motivation to keep writing. So, thank you for cheering me on and making my dream come true.

With all my love,
Beck
