Upcoming books and shop restock!

Hey Guardians!

Happy New Year! I have so many things planned for this year, including six book releases! Buckle up because this newsletter is full of everything I have to share with you today, including shop restocks, and Shattered Souls news!

First things first, all US preorders have shipped as of last week. I am down to the last small batch of international preorders. Good news, my post office informed me that rates will drop next week. Orders guaranteed to ship by next Friday the 20th. Thank you so much for your patience. We will work hard to do better on delivery times with our next book box.

Its photo challenge month! Share your Firelight and Frost unboxing on Instagram using the prompts on your spoiler cards with #GOTMSS for a chance to win a Rising Dawn book box!

The GOTM white limited edition paperbacks are back! Shattered Souls LE releases January 17th, and this includes Divine Blood and Bonded Fate as well. All books contain my digital signature and come with a different bonus chapter not found in the exclusive hardback editions. The white paperbacks have been only on Amazon, but for the first time ever, they will be available worldwide. Meaning you will be able to purchase them online from BN, Waterstones, Book Depository, Books-a-Million ect.

Shattered Souls LE is loaded with 11 pages of artwork by Grace Zhu, Salome Totladze, Leah Fry, Nora Adamszki, Stella Colorado, and Sara Mirza. The bonus chapter is from Azulo’s POV and what he is up to with the Druid, plus it will have art on the interior cover in color.

What’s Next!

I can’t just mention six book releases this year and slide past that, can I?

  1. First book release of the year will be Shattered Souls LE on January 17th

  2. Then comes the Shattered Souls Audiobook on March 14th! ( I am planning a giveaway for this one 🎉)

  3. King’s Bride releases May

  4. Bonded Fate German Edition is next sometime in the fall.

  5. Rising Dawn will also release late fall.

  6. And finally, Shattered Souls German Edition comes out in the winter.

I am slowly making my way through having the GOTM series translated in other languages like Spanish and French. I would like to do all the languages if I can, but my recourses are limited. I am looking into foreign publishers now to help with the process.

Coming out this spring! I saw the final cover, and it’s to die for. Reveal next Tuesday, January 17th. I am so ecstatic about this book. What can I share with you? King’s Bride is book 1 in the Chronicles of Urn prequel series. It's NA fantasy romance and takes place in the same world as GOTM but in the past. It’s dark, gritty, Beauty and the Beast vibes, true enemies to lovers, and steamy. 🔥

Will there be an exclusive edition? YES!

I was bummed thinking that an exclusive wouldn’t fit in my schedule for this book, but @bookish_signs swooped in like a super hero to my rescue. 🥹

We are collaborating on an exclusive edition of King’s Bride available only in her shop. It will have a gorgeous alternate cover, my signature, sprayed edges, interior art, and art on the naked cover by @allexandracurte. Reveal next month!

Shop Restock

Now for the news the majority of you have been waiting for! 🎉

Mark your calendars and set your alarms. The shop will open for newsletter subscribers only this Friday the 13th at 12PM EST time. You will receive an email with a password to enter the store. Please do not share the password.

I have a handful of exclusive editions of Shattered Souls, Bonded Fate, and Divine Blood available for those who missed out. This includes a few book boxes and all the merch like Cassiel plushies, mugs, pins, booksleeves, and all the art.

I have limited quantities of everything, so please only one of each item and edition per person. If you previously received a plushie with your book box, please be kind and let someone else to have a chance to get one. 🙂

Keep in mind, the items won’t be at preorder price, but you can use your discount codes like VIP, repcodes, welcome discounts, and thank you discounts received with your order. B-Grades with very minor flaws will also be available at a discount. I will also have BOGO deals for pins and prints!

Phew, it’s going to be a very busy year. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. As I continue to face new challenges with each book I publish, my new goal for 2023 is to be more organized. With myself, my space, my writing, and my schedule. I felt like I dropped the ball a lot and I want to do better.

It means being disciplined and showing myself self care, staying on task with my writing so I meet my deadlines and don't repeat the issues I had with SS. I feel good about these goals and I have a good team behind me to make sure they happen. I’m looking forward to all the changes to come.

Thank you for being a part of my journey!

As always, stay safe and read good books,

xoxo
