I’m in Las Vegas this week for Author Nation, and my brain is happily exploding with all the incredible things I’m learning—craft, marketing, creating exclusive content for readers… all of it!
But the highlight so far? I got to meet my author hero, Joanna Penn (also known as thriller author J.F. Penn)—podcaster, author extraordinaire, and a true visionary when it comes to the future of publishing. ✨
I even took the obligatory Author Nation selfie with a cake vending machine (because… Vegas 🍰😂), and I’ve already made some amazing new author friends and connections.
My 2026 To-Do List is officially overflowing — including a BRAND NEW 4-BOOK SERIES!
All new characters. A new setting. A whole new adventure for readers… more on that soon!
Today, James Patterson takes the stage 🙌
And tomorrow, there’s a massive Readers’ Event!
Stay tuned — exciting things are coming!
