I’ve been out in the community a lot lately. It’s been so much fun! As an author, there’s a unique kind of magic that happens when your words find their way into the hands of a reader. It’s a humbling experience to know that something you’ve created resonates with someone enough to spark their imagination, inspire their thoughts, or even just offer them a moment of escape.
Today, I’m reflecting on the immense gratitude I feel toward all the readers who have supported my work. Every comment, review, and message means more than I can express. It’s not just about the books we share; it’s about the connection we form through stories. Readers make the journey worthwhile—they give purpose to the late nights, the edits, and the self-doubt that every writer experiences.
So, to everyone who has picked up one of my books, whether it was by chance or because you’ve followed my work from the beginning—thank you. Your support, your engagement, and your belief in the power of stories are what keep me going. You are the reason I write. And for that, I am endlessly thankful.
I look forward to many more stories together.
Last event of the season is Sunday, December 1 from 11 am – 1 pm at Park Books in Severna Park, Maryland, for an open signing.
Hope to see you and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
