There are moments in an author’s career that feel big. Not just exciting-big… but heart-thumping, coffee-fueled, “oh wow, this is really happening” kind of big.

Today is one of those moments.

Because in August 2026, I’ll be attending my very first official book signing + convention. The Happily Indie After Author Event in Ohio!

I’ve dreamed about meeting readers in person for years. I’ve imagined chatting about favorite tropes, signing books, seeing your well-loved copies (tabbed and highlighted or freshly purchased — all are welcome!), and sharing in that electric community energy only bookish people understand.

And now… it’s happening.

I’ve already set up the Event Page on my website with all the details, including preorder information, travel notes, and FAQ-style updates I’ll continue adding to as we get closer. You’ll also find a special preorder form there — every preorder will come with exclusive convention-only swag you can’t get anywhere else.

The chance to chat all things Marines, Beacon Security, Waldon Springs, coffee, writing, K-pop, planners… you know. My usual chaos, but in person.

You’ll also be the first to know if more titles are added between now and the event (spoiler: they will be). And of course, if anything unexpected happens and I can’t attend, every single preorder will be shipped to you with extra love and no additional cost.

This milestone means more to me than I can really put into words…but I’ll try:
Thank you. For reading my stories. For showing up. For believing in this author journey right alongside me.

I can’t wait to meet you next August.
Coffee in one hand. Pen in the other.
Let’s make memories.

Mission logged. Coffee consumed and Hope restored.
Until the next cup,
