I dove headfirst into the world of self-publishing, and I think it’s fair to say I did it “disaster style.” There were hurdles, mistakes, and moments where I wasn't sure what I was doing. But more than anything, I learned a lot. I learned about the industry, about writing, and about my own resilience.

Now, I’m looking at 2026 with a fresh perspective and a lot of excitement. I’m thrilled to announce that next year will see my very first Sci-Fi publication!

I’m also working on a project that is very near and dear to my heart called The Black Tag. It’s a tribute to the "baggage" carried by first responders... a topic that needs to be explored.

I know I still have so much more to learn, but I’m looking forward to continuing this creative adventure.

I wish everyone a wonderful holiday season. See you in 2026! 

Love from,
