Special Edition Reveal and More!
Hey Guardians!
What a month it’s been! I’m so glad that Rising Dawn is finally out in the world, and I’ve been working hard on the final edits for the re-release. I can’t say thank you enough to everyone for being so understanding and kind. There’s a special gift for you at the end of this blog post as a thank you for how supportive everyone has been! Now settle in. This newsletter is a long one and full reveals and of everything else coming up next.
Rising Dawn Updates
I am almost done with the final edits, and the final version will officially go to print on August 27 as the official re-release. It usually takes a few days for Amazon to update, but you should be able to purchase a physical copy around this date. Signed physical copies will also be available to order directly from my website.
If you preordered the ebook, the preorder swag will start shipping around the end of August as well. Everyone who has the ebook, whether it’s through KU or purchase, will be able to update your copy to have the final edits after the re-release on or after August 27.
KU Subscribers: Simply remove the ebook from your library and download again for the update
Ebook purchase: Amazon should send you a push notification with instructions on how to update your copy, but if you don’t receive this, then follow these steps:
Hold down the book in the Kindle app on your device.
Press the "remove download" button. The book will still show up in your Kindle library.
When you click on the book again, it will redownload and automatically update.
That’s it! You will know it’s the updated version if it has the Series Summaries after the Trigger Warning page!
Special Edition Paperbacks
I am so excited to share that Rising Dawn’s special edition will be available on September 24! Isn’t it beautiful? The white paperback will contain interior art, an alternate cover, and a bonus chapter in Tavin’s POV. The white paperback editions of books 1-3 are available year-round on my website!
Rising Dawn Shipping and Book Box Updates
With the new print date, the estimating shipping timeline has been adjusted with new dates.
Here is the new estimated shipping timeline for Rising Dawn orders:
Week of September 8th-13th: Regular editions arrive and begin shipping
Week of September 16th-20th: Exclusive editions arrive. They will go through a quality check then be packaged up. Book Only orders will go out next.
September 23rd-30th: Shipping begins for book boxes (these will go out in waves, so don’t stress if yours doesn’t ship immediately)
It is very important that you update your shipping address HERE if needed.
As a special thanks for your patience, I teamed up with @thedearwriterco to bring you this beautiful gift with each exclusive edition book box preorder. How adorable is this hat? Embroidered with a custom dynalya flower to represent our favorite FMC, and absolutely stunning details.
For my other readers who ordered a physical copy of Rising Dawn through my website prior to February's intended release, we have a special art print for you by the amazingly talented @kotikomori.
Spoiler Print
The artwork is a spoiler for a scene that is revealed in Shattered Souls, but you can click on the image to see it (I promise, it is STUNNING!!).
After Sale: September 27 (Save the date!)
If you’ve been hoping to snag some of the sold out Rising Dawn goodies, you’re in luck! Once all pre-orders have shipped, I will be holding an After Sale for leftover prints, exclusive editions, and merch! This will include some amazing items that are not currently in the shop, such as the replica daggers and adorable Dyna plushies.
I made sure to order extras of the exclusive edition this time, but I only have a handful of book boxes! So mark your calendars and set your alarms!

Reviews are pouring in for Rising Dawn, and so many of them have been high praises that I didn’t expect. It means so much that my readers continue to love these characters despite their hardships and many flaws. Each one of them carries a piece of my heart, and now, so does this book. I know the road to the release had its ups and downs, but I am really proud of this book. Thank you for joining the Guardians on their epic journey!
And now, here is a free coloring page of Cassiel and Dyna for you! Aren’t they adorable?
That is all for now, darlings.
As always, stay safe and read good books,
xoxo ❤
