New Guardians Merch

Hey Guardians!

Spring is here and the sun is out. What are your plans for March? I can finally say the draft for King’s Bride is finished! I will spend most of this month editing and polishing the manuscript before it’s ready for ARC readers. I had so much fun writing this book, getting to know these characters, and flesh out more of Urn’s beginning. Can’t wait to share it with you.

I am planning an extra swag gift for King’s Bride print pre-orders. I will have more info on that soon! 🤫

@bibliotherapy_session

We have a new release this month! For those who have been waiting, Shattered Souls hits Audible on March 28th! The narrators blew it out of water when they came together to narrate this book. They do such a great job bringing these characters to life with their voices. Keep reading for a giveaway at the end. 🎧

What’s Coming Next

We have new Guardians merch and a past favorite making another come back!

I am so excited to share that Nightshade Co has created a beautiful line of Guardians of the Maiden candles. Each one smells amazing and topped with glitter. They will be up for pre-order on NightshadeCandles.com March 10th-March 15th. Available while supplies last. 💕

Newsletter subscribers get early access on March 9th at 8AM EST. Use password MAIDEN to enter!

🌹Exclusive Edition Cover And Edge Reveal🌹

Eek! I am thrilled about the exclusive edition of King’s Bride in collaboration with @bookish_signs!

What makes this book special:

Exclusive dust jacket

Stenciled edges

Signed by Author

Chapter headers exclusive to this edition

Hardcover art designed by @allexandracurte

Pre orders open for this edition on 4/17 and it releases 5/23. Shipping in June. You can set your countdown and sign up to be notified when pre orders open so you don’t miss this chance! First 100 orders will receive a shimmery Winter Rose print of the cover art.

The preorder will be available on BookishSignsandMore.com April 17th

Here is a little sneak peek of the interior.

Surprisingly, King’s Bride was the fastest book I have ever written. It came together a lot easier than I thought since it’s a complete story, I didn’t have to weave in so many details with a series, and most of the world is already set. The one thing I did struggle with a little was learning about two new characters I was not already familiar with. But the more time I spent with Jokull and Sunneva, the more I got to discover who they are. She is straight forward, hotheaded and ride or die for her family. He is action first ask questions later, a bit of a savage yet thoughtful (when it comes to her), and a shameless flirt.

Let’s finish off with a little teaser. 😏🔥

Coming May 23rd, 2023

Pre-order from my shop | Pre-order on Amazon | Pre-order Gift

That is all I have for you this month, darlings.

As always, stay safe and read good books,

xoxo

King’s Bride Cover Reveal

This post is full of amazing things, like TWO cover reveals for King’s Bride! If you follow me on Instagram, you already saw the gorgeous royal blue cover. And if not, TADAAAAAA!!

King's Bride Beck Michaels

It’s finally here! Omg I am SO excited to present to you the cover for King’s Bride, the first book in the Chronicles of Urn series. It has all the dark fairytale vibes and I am obsessed.

Inspired by Beauty and the Beast, King’s Bride is a NA dark fantasy romance full of all the tropes you love: enemies to lovers, dagger to throat, close proximity, arranged marriage, and touch her and die, to name a few. Then add a pinch of spice. 🔥🤭

Coming May 23, 2023

I just had to do something special for my newest book baby, and because I love pretty books. The hardbacks will have character art on the naked cover by @morgana0anagrom! This is the regular edition and it will soon be available everywhere books are sold. For now, you can preorder the ebook on Amazon, or preorder a signed print copy from my shop. Submit your receipts on my website for your preorder gift: a print of Jokull and Sunneva, bookmark, and bookplate (or sticker if you order from me).

Winter Rose Jokull and Sunneva King's Bride Beck Michaels

I cannot tell you how excited I am about this book! It has been fun getting learn about Jokull and Sunneva, and the version of Urn that they live in. It’s the age of the Everfrost where the land is rampant with demons and monsters. And Jokull is not the only God wandering around.

While their story is mostly separate from the main plot of the Guardians of the Maiden series, but you will see some connections to their world in the present, along with origins of some of the characters.

Let’s finish off with a little teaser. 😏

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?

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

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

King’s Bride releases May

Bonded Fate German Edition is next sometime in the fall.

Rising Dawn will also release late fall.

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

Beck

German Edition Release

It's here! Divine Blood releases for the first time in German today! Huge thank you to my lovely translator @melina.coniglio for helping this book be the best it can be and making sure I do things right. And thank you to @jaquelinekropmanns.coverdesign for designing such a gorgeous cover for this edition.

Available on Kindle Unlimited! We did something a little special with this paperback because it contains the Aim for the Stars artwork by @alicemariapoweron the inside of the cover in color! The paperback is in the process of being approved and should be up for sale in a few days.

Shop News and Shipping Updates

We have been making our way through Shattered Souls preorders and we are about halfway there. We hope to have the majority of orders out before Christmas.

This applies for international residents only: Shipping costs have doubled during the holiday season to the point we cannot afford to send boxes overseas. We are very sorry for this unforeseen issue. Our solution is to wait and try again in mid-January ship your orders. We will include an extra print for the delay. If you prefer to cancel, I understand and I am very sorry.

Because of this delay and higher shipping costs, I have decided to reschedule the restock drop for exclusive editions to January as well. I will have more info on the dates and times in my next newsletter.

There has been a lot of controversy with AI art lately and I wanted to make it clear that I don’t condone the use of AI software including but not limited to Midjourney and Artbreeder. I fully support artists and the hard work they put into their art. I will never sell or permit artwork to be sold of my characters using AI software.

Unfortunately, it’s come to my attention that the Dalton art I commissioned was made with AI. It was immediately removed from the shop and I issued refunds to everyone who purchased it. It’s a beautiful print and it would be a sad waste for them to end up in the trash, so I am giving them out for free with every print order made starting today, while supplies last. (One per person).

📣 The shop will be closed during the holiday season from December 23rd to January 13th. Next Book Release

We have a cover for the Shattered Souls white paperback limited edition! This book will be loaded with interior artwork, contain my digital signature, and come with a new bonus chapter in a new POV. Divine Blood and Bonded Fate white limited editions will also be available. Sold on Amazon in January.

What I’m Working On

I am now beginning to draft King’s Bride, Chronicles of Urn book 1! The first book will be the true story of Jokull and Sunneva’s legend. If you haven’t seen it yet, I revealed their character art over the weekend, illustrated by @morgana0anagrom. It’s to die for! I cannot get over how beautiful it came out.

King’s Bride is a NA standalone fantasy romance and true enemies to lovers. Blurb and cover reveal coming soon!

King's Bride by Beck Michaels Jokull and Sunneva Snippet from the draft
He was beautiful, elegant, ethereal, but equally cold and unforgiving. As she gazed at his unearthly beauty, she had only one goal in mind. To ruin him.

— King’s Bride


That is all I have for now, my dears. Have a Merry Christmas (if you celebrate) and a Happy New Year!

As always, stay safe and read good books,

xoxo

What’s Coming Next

Hey Guardians! If you celebrate, do you have any plans for Thanksgiving? My house is full of boxes, so I will be going to my in-laws for the holidays.

I know everyone has been anxious for updates so let’s get to it! All good news from here. The replaced copies of Bonded Fate have arrived in my home, along with the Cassiel plushies. The Shattered Souls exclusive editions have made it to the painter and I expect to receive those after this weekend! The last thing I am waiting on are the Dassiel pins. 🎉

SHIPPING UPDATESRegular hardback and paperback preorders - SHIPPEDBook 1 and 2 single exclusive preorders - SHIPPEDPrint Pack preorders - SHIPPED

Shipping after ThanksgivingShattered Souls single exclusive preorderExclusive Bundle box preorderFirelight and Frost box preorder (once pins arrive)All items in your order will ship together. I drop off orders at the post office every Friday and Saturday. Thank you so much for your patience.

If you have any questions, help with international tracking, or if you need to update the address on your order, please contact Will through my website. He is my amazing PA and super helpful.

New In the Shop

Cassiel plushies are here and we will have some extras left over for those who missed out on the Firelight and Frost box. If you did order a Firelight box, the Cassiel plushie is already included, so please let others have a chance to get one. I will be doing a VERY small drop for these! (A matching Dyna plushie will be in our next box!)

Other items for sale will include merch found in the box that I won’t list yet to avoid spoilers. This drop will include a small amount of Firelight and Frost boxes, and single exclusive editions. It’s been requested of me several times now, so I will also do a small pre-order for the Divine Blood character cards and the Shattered Souls character cards for those who missed out. This is a one time preorder!

Box items will be available for Newsletter Subscribers on December 16th at 12pm EST. The shop will only be closed to the public and you will receive an email with the password to enter the store that day. Please don’t share the password. Waitlist signups will get access 15 minutes earlier!

These orders will ship in January after the holidays!

What is available now:

I have an abundance of B-Grade Bonded Fate exclusive editions. These are the copies that couldn’t be used for preorders. They are heavily discounted and available for a limited time.

Dalton Slater print was just added to the shop! My favorite earth mage. I love how he came out. Can you guess the model used for him? 🍂

Spoiler prints and Shattered Souls prints are also now offered separately for whose who don’t want the full SS print pack.

🦃 Use code TURKEY30 to save on everything in the shop starting now until November 30th! 🎉 What I’m Working On

Now that boxes are nearly finished, I have been working on the Divine Blood German edition! I am looking for German book bloggers to read and review the eARC. If you speak the language or know someone who does and may be interested in epic fantasy, you/they can apply HERE for a copy.

The Shattered Souls white paperback limited edition is coming! These will have interior artwork, my digital signature, and a bonus chapter by Azulo’s POV. Sold on Amazon for the month of January. Books 1 and 2 in white will also return.

Divine Blood German edition now up for preorder!

Coming December 13th! Releasing in ebook and paperback. Hardback pending.

What’s Next

My next project is King’s Bride, Chronicles of Urn book 1! If you are new here or haven’t heard the news yet, the Chronicles of Urn is a prequel series that takes place in the same world as the Guardians of the Maiden. Each book is a standalone fantasy romance that takes place at different times and they recount the true story behind the legends mentioned in GOTM. Book 1 will be about Jokull and Sunneva!

Cover reveal and art reveal will be held in January. Release date is TBD. I am estimating Late April-May time.

I have been asked if I will offer an exclusive edition box for this series. I would love to do that but I honestly can’t due to my busy schedule. Doing boxes for the main series tends to take up a lot of my time especially around the end of the year. Doing another box would take away the time I need to write. BUT I will still do a great preorder gift with these books, and the hardcovers will have inverted chapter headers and beautiful artwork under the cover. Maybe I could do something special when the entire series is out. 💕

Snippet from the draft…
“He lived during the time of gods when they roamed the mortal world. They eventually returned to their Gates, yet the Ice Phoenix stayed and watched the ages pass as his frost coated the land. He’s been alone for a millennia, unchecked in his castle of ice, and he’s as harsh and cruel as this endless winter.”Sunnëva’s breath clouded in the night air as a tremble sank down her spine. “Are you telling me he is a god?”The old shaman woman’s milky eyes met hers across the crackling fire. “He wields life and death, girl. What else do you think he is?”

— King’s Bride


That is all I have for now, my dears. I can’t wait to share more with you!

Thank you!

As always, stay safe and read good books,

xoxo

Shipping Updates & Ebook Issues

Hey Guardians!

How is your October going? It’s been a really busy month for me. I've been working on box stuff and I also have my kids home during fall break. It’s been hectic around here.

I am still waiting on some merch items to arrive from overseas for the Firelight box, but I have had a few unforeseen issues arrive with the exclusives and with some items.

The Bonded Fate exclusives unfortunately failed to meet quality inspection. I cannot in my right mind ship these to you in their condition. So I am ordering new books and sadly this will add more time to their expected delivery. I am very sorry. I take setbacks hard, especially with my books. I know everyone has been waiting. I will do my best to get your orders out to you as soon as possible.

I am one person handling over 500 orders while balancing home life, so it's been taking me a bit to sort everything. Thank you for being so patient with me! I promise it will be worth the wait.

Cassiel plushies will be in the Firelight and Frost box!

Some good news is that I received tracking info for the Cassiel plushies! I hope to see them arrive within 2-3 weeks. Crossing my fingers. Waiting on pins to be shipped next and another premium item.

Print Pack: Cassiel and Dyna holo prints!

✨Preorder incentives: Ebook preorders, I am sending those incentives out this weekend. Box and books preorders, I will send your incentives together.

Preorder incentives are here!

Ebook, paperback, and hardback are now up on Amazon | Exclusive Edition | Signed Copy | Barnes&Noble | Book Depository | Books-a-Million | Waterstones.

📣 SHATTERED SOULS EBOOK: It's come to my attention that the unedited ebook file was uploaded on Amazon and this went out on release day. I am very sorry about this. I’m human and mistakes happen. The correct version is up now. To get it, remove the download from your kindle/kindle app (don’t return), then re-download and that should give you the correct edited version of Shattered Souls!To check if you have the right version, the Part I page will have a potion bottle on it. Thank you for your patience.

I think that covers everything. If you have any questions, or if you need help with your orders, please contact Will from my website. He is super helpful.

Thank you!

As always, stay safe and read good books,

xoxo

I am still waiting on some merch items to arrive from overseas for the Firelight box, but I have had a few unforeseen issues arrive with the exclusives and with some items.

The Bonded Fate exclusives unfortunately failed to meet quality inspection. I cannot in my right mind ship these to you in their condition. So I am ordering new books and sadly this will add more time to their expected delivery. I am very sorry. I take setbacks hard, especially with my books. I know everyone has been waiting. I will do my best to get your orders out to you as soon as possible.

I am one person handling over 500 orders while balancing home life, so it's been taking me a bit. Thank you for being so patient with me! I promise it will be worth the wait.

Cassiel plushies will be in the Firelight and Frost box!

Some good news is that I received tracking info for the Cassiel plushies! I hope to see them arrive within 2-3 weeks. Crossing my fingers. Waiting on pins to be shipped next and another premium item.

Print Pack: Cassiel and Dyna holo prints!

Shipping Updates:

✨The Firelight and Frost box, bundles, and single Shattered Souls exclusive edition books are now estimated to ship in November.

✨Single exclusive editions of Divine Blood will ship by the end of this month, if ordered separately.

✨Regular hardback and paperback preorders of Shattered Souls will hopefully ship by the end of this month. I am still waiting for those to arrive, too.

Print Packs: If ordered separately, they will also ship by the end of this month. I still have some available! (The print packs are included with the Firelight and Frost box)

✨Preorder incentives: Ebook preorders, I am sending those incentives out this weekend. Box and books preorders, I will send your incentives together.

✨Street Team swag: Aiming to ship them out this weekend.

Preorder incentives are here!

Ebook, paperback, and hardback are now up on Amazon | Exclusive Edition | Signed Copy | Barnes&Noble | Book Depository | Books-a-Million | Waterstones.

📣 SHATTERED SOULS EBOOK: It's come to my attention that the unedited ebook file was uploaded on Amazon. I am very sorry about this. The correct version is up now. To get it, remove the download from your kindle/kindle app, then re-download and that should give you the correct edited version of Shattered Souls!

I think that covers everything. If you have any questions, or if you need help with your orders, please contact Will from my website. He is super helpful.

Thank you!

As always, stay safe and read good books,

xoxo

Shattered Souls is here!

It’s finally here! Shattered Souls is unleashed unto the world! This book is packed with so much, you get three parts. A lot happens for Dyna and her Guardians. They learn and grow, amidst all of the chaos (that I put them through), and it's amazing to see how far it takes them. The pages are action packed, full of magic, and discovery, love, and of course, heart.

I enjoyed writing Shattered Souls very much (for the most part). It was definitely my biggest challenge, and not only because of the page length. I had to dig deep to really understand these characters and tell their story the right way. They are on an adventure of a lifetime, and I hope you enjoy the ride.

Still need to snag your copy? Ebook is available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. Paperback and Hardback can be ordered on my website. They will be available everywhere else by the weekend.

Shattered Souls Amazon Shattered Souls Signed

🎉Come join us on Facebook for the book launch party where I will be holding more giveaways and book fun. Starts at 12PM SET

Also, today is the last day to get Divine Blood for free on Amazon!

Don’t forge to submit your pre-order receipt on my website to receive your Dassiel swag gift!

What’s Next

Now I can finally put all of my attention on the book boxes! As only one person ordering, packaging, and shipping, it can be a handful. My house is slowly starting to fill up with all the merch as it comes in.

The Firelight and Frost book box and Shattered Souls preorders are scheduled to ship between late October to November. Divine Blood, Bonded Fate, and print packs ship within the next few weeks if they were ordered separately. This goes for regular editions of Shattered Souls that were ordered from me.

If you missed out, good news! I will have some extra books and some extra merch left over like Cassiel plushies. Make sure to sign up for the waitlist under your chosen listing in my store to get the heads up first before the announcement is made.

I am so honored to have you join me on this journey with Dyna and Cassiel. It means so much that you have fallen in love with these characters as much as I have. Thank you for wanting to get lost in this world with me (and for sustaining me with all of your tears). You are the reason I get up in the morning to write. I am living my dream come true and it would not be possible without everyone. I will never stop being so grateful to you, my Guardians. 

Thank you!

As always, stay safe and read good books,

xoxo

Beck
