Hello friends,

June has arrived, bringing longer days, summer reading adventures, and plenty of activity behind the scenes.

A Few Publishing Updates

Several of my books will be moving into Kindle Unlimited this month. If you're a KU subscriber, this is a great opportunity to catch up on titles you may have missed without spending an extra dime.

At the same time, a handful of books will be leaving exclusivity and going wide, making them available through additional retailers and library services. My goal is simple: make it easier for readers to find stories wherever they prefer to shop and read.

As always, I'll share updates and links as each title makes the transition.

.Coming in July: Prado

I'm excited to announce that Prado is scheduled to arrive in July.

This story has been a labor of love, and I can't wait to introduce readers to its characters, conflicts, and surprises. Over the next few weeks, I'll begin sharing sneak peeks, excerpts, and behind-the-scenes notes as we count down to release day.

Stay tuned—July is shaping up to be an exciting month.
