Spring is around the corner and the rainy days are serving as comforting white noise now that I am drafting again. After my last email/blog post explaining my reason for Rising Dawn’s delayed release, I took a little break from social media and writing. It was greatly needed to recharge my soul, but I am back and I have some amazing reveals for you this month. Plus updates on Rising Dawn, my upcoming annual birthday sale, new merch, and reveals for Kings Bride, AND a tidbit on King’s Kiss.

Rising Dawn Updates

I should get some bad news out of the way first. Amazon has canceled the ebook pre-order for Rising Dawn. There was a mix-up when I called for another extension that led to the approval not going through. This news was upsetting, but I believe everything happens for a reason. It gives me a chance to finish Rising Dawn without the stress of an impending deadline, and as soon as I have finished writing it, I’ll announce the new and final release date. My goal is a spring release!

Everyone who submitted their receipts for the ebook pre-order will still receive their swag. Reminder, swag is already included with book pre-orders made on my website. Thank you for hanging in there with me!

If you missed it, I released the first three chapters of Rising Dawn exclusively for my subscribers in January. You can find the link HERE and enter with password LevSheli. These chapters do contain major SPOILERS! Please wait to read them until you have finished Shattered Souls.

The stunning Greenwood windows designed by @ambrosiaandhoney have finally shipped out! These turned out so beautifully and I can’t wait to see the photos of them displayed on your shelves.

Art Reveal

We also held a Keena art reveal last month on Instagram. Isn’t she beautiful? Salome (@morgana0anagrom) never fails to amaze me with her wonderful talent. Thank you to everyone who helped celebrate this gorgeous reveal! This print is part of the Rising Dawn print pack and book box.

There’s also some new teasers and snippets for Rising Dawn featuring Lucenna, Cassiel and Zev. You can find them on my Instagram page under the Rising Dawn highlight.

King’s Bride

I have some secret plans brewing in the background for King’s Bride that I can’t mention yet. For merch, My first samples of the King’s Bride pins have arrived, and they are beautiful! I want to order a few more samples first before I place these on pre-order. Hopefully next month! 

We have a major reveal today! New character art of Jokull and Sunneva!

Art Reveal

I present before the court, your Winter Queen and King! How stunning is this? Someone catch me because I am swooning! @kalisamiii blew me away with these beautiful pieces of Sunneva and Jokull. Is it possible to fall in love with artwork because I did. Just look at them! I'm in love with all of the details, the scythe, the rose, the tanzanite crystals! The way Jokull is glaring is giving me butterflies. 🫠

These prints are now available in the shop, with a foil option coming soon!

King’s Kiss

The two most questions I get asked are, “When is it coming??? Can you share anything???” While I don’t have a release date for King’s Kiss yet, what I can tell you is that I think the God of Shadows might be in favor of a release during the spooky season. But who knows? 😌

In the meantime, I shared a little teaser a couple months ago which you can find under the King’s Kiss highlight on my Instagram page. The theme song is a major clue on what fairytale it is based on. Can you guess?  

Shop Sale March 19th

It’s my birthday next week, which means it’s time to celebrate with a huge shop sale! 

On Tuesday, March 19th everything in the shop will be 30% off, except for pre-orders, which will be 10% off. There will be an email with a special discount code sent out that day. Mark your calendars! 

The GOTM Character Cards have been sold out for a while, but I’m considering bringing them back to the shop IF there is enough interest. If you plan to purchase a set, please sign up for the waitlist under the listings (Shattered Souls character cards, Divine Blood character cards).

I’m also working on some new items to bring into the shop this year. You all sent in so many great ideas on my Instagram survey the other week, and I’m hoping to make some of these happen by the end of the year. I’m really excited about the idea of apparel, like t-shirts and hoodies, coming into the shop in the future! Keep an eye out for some other new things coming soon.

Rising Dawn is so close to being here, and I’m continually grateful for everyone’s support. I know it’s been a roller coaster, but I appreciate each of you for sticking with me along the way. We’ll be back in the land of Urn before we know it with all of our Guardians!

As always, stay safe and read good books,

xoxo
