April 2025 Newsletter

Hey everyone!

Life has been a bit crazy for me lately. I recently moved from Illinois to Pennsylvania, so that was a lot of work and change that has eaten up most of my free time. I’m settled in now so I’m hoping to get into a better routine this summer as far as posting social media content and sharing progress on my writing!

With that, let me transition into the book updates. In my last newsletter I shared that I was hoping to get Book 2 of my fantasy series out between May-July, but in reality it will be closer to Aug/Sept. I’d love to release it sooner, but I’d rather not rush this out before it’s ready. Stay tuned for a cover reveal and information about pre-orders.

Those who signed up to beta read Book 2, make sure to check your emails! I will be asking for feedback by the end of May, even if you don’t finish the book by then. Any and all input is valued and appreciated.

For anyone interested, I will also be doing a giveaway for a signed copy (or two) of Book 1 in the next month or so. Be on the lookout for details in a future newsletter/social media post, and share with anyone you know who enjoys fantasy and would like a free book!

Last but not least, my author website has been long overdue for an overhaul. I am slowly (but steadily) working on that to make it more user-friendly and a central hub for everything about my writing. I’ll share that once it’s complete.

Please check out all my social media below if you’re not already following me there! I tend to provide updates on those platforms faster than through newsletter.

Until next time, thanks for reading!
