Rising Dawn Updates and New Shop Item!
I am finally back after a much needed month away. Settle in, I have lots to share with you!
There has been many ups and downs for me this year, especially with my book releases. I had some personal clarity in why I was struggling to write in a certain POV, but I still could not get my mind to fully cooperate. I was battling with brain fog, fatigue, physical pain among other things. Well, during my hiatus, I discovered I was suffering from an illness I didn’t know I had. I won’t say more on that other than I was diagnosed in time and with the support from my family and doctor, I have my disease under control. Please don’t worry!
Rising Dawn
Now that I am feeling much better, I am making progress in finishing Rising Dawn! Amazing how making a simple change did wonders for my over all energy and mental health. I know no one thought publishing this book would take so long, and I am very sorry about that. Thank you so much for being so patient with me.
As for a release date, I don’t want to jinx myself, so I will avoid giving an official date until I have submitted my manuscript to my editor. Buuuuut cross your fingers for June!
Stay tuned for a new Cassiel and Dyna teaser at the end of this post!
The pretty boxes for the Rising Dawn exclusive edition book box have arrived and I am swooning over them. I just love looking at all of them lined up on my shelves. 😍 All the merch is here and ready to be packed up once the books make their arrival. I will have only a handful of these boxes left over once pre-orders are shipped, but I did make sure to order extra books. If you want to be notified when those become available, make sure to sign up for the waitlist under the chosen listing in my shop.
ApollyCon 2025
Well, it’s official, I was somehow convinced to leave my gremlin cave. If you want to meet my shy awkward self, come see me at next year’s Apollyon. I admit, I may or may not be secretly panicking, but I am braving the crowd to meet you! My other half will accompany me to help lug all the fun swag I have planned. 💘
(I am supposed to wait to announce I will be apart of the con but I wanted to make my readers aware for those who don’t normally buy tickets but want to come this year.)
Summaries
A new web page has been added to my website! My amazing personal assistant Sarah took on the task of summarizing the first three books in the Guardians series. Now anyone who needs an easy refresher on the series without having to reread all the books each time a new one comes out, you can read the summaries HERE. I also have a World Guide with everything about the Land of Urn from magic to history.
Art Reveal
I have been sitting on this piece for over a year! Art by @mageonduty and I love it! Isn’t Klyde just delicious? Lucenna looking fierce as always. They are such a fun couple to write about. Their chemistry is *chefs kiss*. Yes, Klyde gets himself an enchanted sword. 😉
This print is part of the Rising Dawn print pack and book box.
King’s Bride Special Editions
If you haven’t heard the news yet, @covertocoverbookbox released a STUNNING new special edition of King’s Bride! It has an alternate cover, interior artwork, exclusive interior formatting, my digital signature, AND it includes Rune’s bonus chapter! 😱 Hardcovers will have naked covers, plus stenciled edges and beautiful end papers.
PRE-ODER END TODAY!
Reminder, the paperback ($19.99) is available to order on Cover to Cover’s website. If you want a hardback ($39.99), those are very limited, so you must submit a google form to request a copy. (It will show as sold out on the website)
If you missed out, never fear. I will have a few copies to gift in future special giveaways!
King’s Kiss
I am so excited for Rune’s book! It will have all my attention this summer and I will at last get to share teasers and art with you. I might have shared a tiny snippet in my Instagram stories today because I couldn’t help myself. 👀
New Shop Item
We have a new drop in the shop! I collaborated with @bookchicboutique again to bring you another beautiful booksleeve. This one features double-sided Klycenna art by the great @selenada.art displaying a sweet scene from Rising Dawn. I just adore them together.
This is a limited edition item with only a limited amount in stock.
I can never hate my bb Cassiel. He wears his heart on his sleeve. Even if it sometimes makes him do foolish things, he will always put Dyna first. I love him so much, I shared an extra snippet in my stories too. 😌
Rising Dawn really takes the Guardians on a whirlwind. It’s full of danger, love, adventure, and everything that makes a story magical. I can’t wait to share it with you.
Well, I think that is it for this month’s newsletter, Guardians! Next time you hear from me I will have a pre-order date for you! If I didn’t answer a question you had, shoot me a DM.
As always, stay safe and read good books,
xoxo
Beck
