November 2026

Welcome back!

Writing Updates:

Spark is entirely done! ARC readers will get their copies on December 1st. Applications to be an ARC reader are open until November 15th, so there’s just a few days left to sign up for that!

Counting Shards is still in the drafting stage! I’m 26% of the way through the first draft, so we’re still on track for a June 2027 release. It has been put on the back burner while I work on Frostbite, but it’s still on track!

The first draft of Frostbite is well underway! I started the draft on November 1st, and I’m 33% of the way through it. I’m predicting a December 2027 release date, but it could be as soon as Fall 2027.

A Deer in a Spotlight has six chapters up as of writing this, and the seventh will be posted as soon as Ao3 comes back online. Both of my fanfics can be found on AO3!

I’ve started a Kofi page where you can get early access to all of my fanfics!

Reading Updates:

Since my last post, I’ve read… nothing. I started reading Her Wicked Plan by Hannah Jo, but I haven’t finished it yet. All of my spare time lately has gone towards drafting.

You can see what I’m reading and when by following me on StoryGraph and Goodreads! If you use StoryGraph, be sure to check out my reading challenge for 2026!

Personal Updates:

Not much new has happened since October. We’re gearing up for our first holidays in the new house, and everyone in my family is over the moon about it. The Christmas tree is going up as soon as I’m done writing this.

I couldn’t do what I do without the support of: my husband; my family; my cover designer, Catherine; and my Discord author group. Thank you all for all that you do!
