What’s Coming Next
Hey Guardians!
I hope that you’re all having a wonderful summer–can you believe we are already over halfway through July?! This summer is flying by! Writing for Rising Dawn has been going well, and we’re still on track to release on August 6th.
Exciting news! The Rising Dawn ebook will be up for preorder on Amazon during the first week of August. I’ll share on my Instagram page when the preorder goes live, so be sure to keep your eye out for the announcement. Everyone who preorders a physical copy on my website and Amazon, will qualify for a free holo Cassiel and Dyna print, so now is a great time to snag your copy!
Rising Dawn Shipping & Book Box Updates
I’ll begin shipping all Rising Dawn orders as quickly as possible when the books arrive after the release day. As a little peek into the ‘behind the scenes’ of being an author, I actually package and ship everything in my shop myself–so now you know that everything was packed with extra special love and care before it arrives at your door!
Here is the estimated shipping timeline for Rising Dawn orders:
Week of August 19: Regular editions arrive and begin shipping
Week of August 26: Exclusive editions arrive. They will go through quality check then be packaged up. Book Only orders will go out next.
August 30-September 13: Shipping begins for book boxes (these will go out in waves, so don’t stress if yours doesn’t ship immediately)
I know it has been a long wait for these book boxes, so as a special thanks for your patience, I am collaborating with @thedearwriterco to include an additional thank you gift with each exclusive edition book box.
For my other readers who ordered Rising Dawn (paperback/hardback) prior to Februarys intended release, I have a special art print in the works for you! It's of a scene that's been asked of me many times. I know you'll love it!
There's been so many delays with this book and things are finally moving along. I just wanted to show my appreciation to my readers who continued to believe in me and kindly waited patiently for your orders. I truly belive I have the best readers!
It is very important that you update your shipping address HERE prior to August if needed (if you know your address hasn’t changed, there is no need to fill out the form). If your address did change and you updated it on your profile, please also submit a form just to be safe!

Release Day Celebrations
Who’s ready to celebrate the release of Rising Dawn? I know I am ABSOLUTELY ready!! There will be a Facebook launch party on August 6 at 12 pm EST. There will be a Q&A, fun games and prizes. If you’re not already in the Guardians of the Maiden Facebook group, you can join here.
On Instagram, I’ll be giving away a signed copy of Rising Dawn plus a Cassiel plushie, so be sure to keep your eyes out for the giveaway post! Isn’t he so cute? His expression just makes me imagine that he’s saying “Stupid human” to Dyna. I’ll also be sharing release day posts and features in my stories, and having a Q&A with readers throughout the day.
What’s Next:
Here’s a few highlights of what to look forward to in August and beyond:
Street Team Openings: I’ll be opening up my street team again for new members by the end of August! All you need to do to apply is fill out the application, which I’ll be sharing on my Instagram page and in my August newsletter. You can always reach out to my PA, Sarah, at sarah@beckmichaels.com, or on either of her IG pages (@thebookishmusician or @behindthepagesPA), with any questions about the street team.
King’s Kiss Cover Reveal: The King’s Kiss cover will be revealed in September, and when I tell you it is to die for, I mean it is absolutely wicked. I can’t wait to share it with you all!
King’s Kiss Exclusive Edition Preorder: Preorders for this gorgeous special edition will be opening in late September with @bookish_signs. The King’s Bride editions turned out beautifully, and I know King’s Kiss will, too! Make sure you are following them on Instagram to catch the preorder announcement.
I’ll close by sharing one final teaser for Rising Dawn. This one is extra emotional for me, as I think about all that our Guardians have been through (and will go through in book 4). It has truly been a book that I’ve poured so much of myself into. Thank you all for joining me on this epic journey with Cassiel and Dyna.
I hope you enjoy this book as much as the others in the Guardians series!
As always, stay safe and read good books,
xoxo
Beck
