Hello there, fellow fantasy lovers! Just dropping in to give you a few updates.
I'm delighted to say that I will be at two local author events this month. If you're in the Phoenix area, please come out and see me. I'll have signed copies available as well as some swag.

November 8, 2025
Phoenix Public Library Local Author Book Fair
11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Burton Barr Central Library

November 30, 2025
Tales & Tumbleweed Holiday Book Festival
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at La Famiglia & The Silver Lounge Corner of Guadalupe Rd & Dobson Rd, Mesa, AZ
I'm also happy to share that my next novel, The Roses of Carterhaugh, will be releasing in March of 2026! It's a romantic YA myth retelling set in Scotland that will transport readers to fairy realms and ancient rites.
Did I also mention that the paperback and hardback versions of The Roses of Carterhaugh will be illustrated? Yep! This book is going to be gorgeous to read and to hold. The sumptuous cover is being designed as we speak.
ARC requests will go out in the next few months, so keep a look out for the request form. I can't wait to share this story with you!
Well, that's it for now. I look forward to seeing a few of you at the local author sales. Until then, happy reading!
