Pre-orders and Book Boxes!
Hey! Beck, here. How are you doing? How’s your winter going? Have you read any good books lately? I woke up to winter wonderland in my corner of the world, which makes for perfect inspiration. I’ve kept myself busy writing since I’ve gone on hiatus, but today I bring you good tidings. Buckle up, this is going to be a long post. It’s worth it, I promise!
The best news of all: Bonded Fate is almost finished! *happy dance* Besides writing, I’ve also been planning some fun stuff to go with my new release. First, I want to say thank you to everyone who participated in the cover reveal on Instagram. I had so much fun and I loved seeing all the pretty photos. I wish I could share all of them but then this email would be way too long. You can see the rest on my Instagram page.

PRE-ORDER NEWS!
Right now, Bonded Fate ebook is up for pre-order on Amazon. Pre-order before release and receive a free art print! You can fill out the form HERE. Hardbacks and paperbacks will be up for pre-order on all available online retailers in March!
I have been asked if the Exclusive and Special Editions will make a comeback. The answer is YES! For both Divine Blood and Bonded Fate!
🎊
Divine Blood boxes will be VERY limited and they will be up for pre-order on my website in March and will ship out in June. This will be for both the original hardback and the white limited edition. You read that right. The white cover is coming back! 😱
And the icing on the cake: Bonded Fate boxes will be up for pre-order on my website in April. These boxes will be full of so many bookish goodies to warm the cockles of your little bookworm hearts! They will ship out in August. 🤩
***Please Note: There has been some concern with international shipping and I am currently looking into it. As long as there are not Brexit/VAT issues, then the boxes should be available for international residents.
I am super excited about these boxes. I have been working with several artists and shops that I think you will love. And yes, the books will have sprayed edges! I’ll share more spoilers on what will be in these boxes down the line.

DIVINE BLOOD
I’ve chosen the narrators for the audiobook, and recording has started. Ladies, the narrator who voices the male characters—OMG. Let’s just say he has a voice that I want to read to me every night. 🥵
I can’t wait for you to hear the finished product. No word on a release date for that yet, but I will announce it as soon as I know. I’ll also be holding a giveaway where three lucky winners will win a free copy of the audiobook!
The Cheeky Life with Leah gave Divine Blood five stars and lovely in depth review that breaks down the plot, characters, and development. You can check out the full review on her blog HERE.
“Divine Blood in a handful of words: Whimsical. Rustic. Dazzling. Magical. Epic. Has me obsessed and I will be coming back for more.” —Leah
KING’S OATH
If you didn’t notice the change on Goodreads or on my website yet, King’s Oath is getting a mini facelift. It’s the same cover, but better. Grand reveal is coming this fall. Pre-orders will go up in October and release day is December 7th!
King’s Oath is a standalone prequel to The Guardians of the Maiden series. It follows King’s Yoel as he fights to protect his people from poachers and struggles to protect his heart.
I might do a swag box for this book. Would there be any interest in that?
TEASER OF THE MONTH
And of course I bring you a Bonded Fate teaser! Many have requested Zev to get a love interest and ships have boarded. I am keeping my lips zipped on that topic, though. You’ll just have to wait and read Bonded Fate. 😎
Woooo that was information overload, wasn’t it? A lot goes on behind the scenes in the Pluma Press office than just writing books, and I love sharing it all with you. Well, that’s all for now. I must return to my cave. I wish you all a wonderful Valentines Day and may you find new books to fall in love with. Talk again next month!
As always, stay safe and read good books.
Love,
Beck Michaels
FAVORITE READS OF THE MONTH 
Epic Fantasy Just WOW. If you love fae, epic fantasy, and a sassy heroine who kicks ass and takes names, then this book is the one for you! Watch out for this author everyone, because I can predict it now—she's going places. Check out Blood and Honor by Miranda Lyn.
DYSTOPIAN FANTASY You've never read a dystopian novel like this one. It was sooo dark with complicated characters that pull at your heartstrings. They travel through the desolate wilderness to save the world, while indirectly saving each other. Get your copy of Mark King by Nicolette Beebe
URBAN FANTASY Looking for a light read? I got just the book! The characters come to life in this rom-com featuring your favorite mythos gods in modern day. This was such a funny and sweet. I loved it! Apollo is the second book in the Mythos series by Carley Spade.
