Happy New Year!

Dear Readers -

I wish you all a very Happy and Healthy 2026 full of growth, happiness, and mindfulness. ❤️

I read so many wonderful books last year, and am very excited to read many more this year.

Spider goes on preorder February 10th and will release March 10th. I'll be revealing the cover art on preorder day, and it's wicked!

Best Wishes and Happy Reading!
