Hey friends,

Four very cool announcements this week.

First off, I was just the guest speaker for the 86th episode of the Books and Brews podcast! Big shoutout to Laura and Chris for such an engaging conversation. The episode should drop by the end of next month. I'll be sure to send you all the link when it's ready.

Second, to all of my Idaho locals, I'm going to be presenting at this year's Idaho Storytellers Summit. All events will be held at Rigby High School on October 17, 2026. My session will be "The Art of Revision: How to Make a Good Draft Great." I'll also be a panelist on "The Struggle is Real: Navigating Your Biggest Writing Hurdles." Come say hi and grill me with all your burning questions.

I dare you.

Third, the paperback for Harrowing Echoes is up and running, set to release on July 15th. I'll drop you a link once it goes live.

Fourth and finally, I have officially begun writing the last chapter of Waning Haven. I am extremely confident it will be finished within the next week, hopefully before the holiday weekend. Not to hype it up too much, but I can guarantee this chapter is an event many of you have been anxiously waiting for (in some cases begging me for). No spoilers… but be excited.
