Where do I even begin?
This summer has been one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. I’ve met so many lovely readers, baristas, and writers over the last few months and have been so blessed by the reception my debut book has received!
From the librarians at ALA in Chicago to the the writers I met at the Taylor University Professional Writer’s conference, this summer has been so special to me.
I was even selected for a review in the Foreword Reviews magazine!
Some of my favorite moments over the last few weeks have been visiting my local coffee shops and giving the baristas a free ebook copy of the book. It’s dedicated to them, after all!
If you’re local to Denver (or can get here easily), stay tuned for the official book launch party! I’ve had a lot of people ask, and I’m still planning the official dates but I believe we’re aiming for the end of August/early September.
Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss that event!
There is still time to enter the launch Goodreads Giveaway for one of three signed copies! You can do so at this link>>. This giveaway ends August 14, 2026.
Finally, I had some fun putting together an official book trailer for my YouTube channel. It’s a pipe dream of mine to get this book in front of movie and TV show producers–but for now, I hope you’ll enjoy my own rendition!
I’m off to go enjoy the day, have some ice cream (as is my custom to celebrate!) and enjoy the fruits of all this labor.

And if you were one of the few who read an early ebook copy, I would greatly appreciate it if you would post your review online! I have some lofty goals and your support means the world to me!
Thank you SO MUCH for all the ways you’ve helped spread the word about this book already! I’ve been looking forward to this day for a very long time, and your excitement for this book has really made this special.
Until next time…
