I’m so humbled by the support Excavating Fate has received since its release on October 14th. Over 1,000 readers entered the Goodreads giveaway, and your excitement helped the book reach #1 on Amazon in Teen & Young Adult Coming-of-Age Fiction and #2 in all Time-Travel Fiction this week.

Thank you to everyone who entered the giveaway for Excavating Fate, added the book to your shelves, or shared a review. Your enthusiasm truly brought Amara’s story to life and made this debut a success.

Even if you didn’t snag a giveaway copy, the Kindle edition is available now, and the paperback arrives November 4 (preorders are open). Every shelf add, rating, and recommendation helps Excavating Fate reach new readers.

I’m so grateful for this community and excited to share more about what’s next for Amara’s journey. I always enjoy hearing which parts of a story resonated most with readers. Please feel free to drop your thoughts or questions below. I’ll be checking in and replying throughout the week.

Just wanted to give a big shout out to all 89 readers who volunteered to review my upcoming time travel fantasy, Excavating Fate before its release in October 2025. Although putting my work into the world for scrutiny is always scary, I had a story to tell, and I hope everyone enjoys reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Thanks again for your support.
