2025 was more than my little author heart could have imagined. The final book in the Blood Match trilogy, Blood Empire, was released in May. I did a total of twelve in-person events in the Salt Lake valley and met so many wonderful local authors and readers. Your response to the Blood Match series was overwhelming.

I wanted to give a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported me and came out to the in-person events. Hearing someone say “Hey! I recognize that book!” or “Look Hon, this is the book I was reading on the drive here.” was like a dream come true.

I didn’t sell millions of copies or go viral but I found my people. The Utah author and market community is like none other. We are here to build each other up and cheer on all victories big and small. Writing may be a solo endeavor but everything that comes after takes a village.

Next year, I will be expanding not only the range of my in-person events but will be working on my first cozy mystery book. Don’t worry, the Blood Match universe isn’t over but it was time to shift to something a little different to keep my muse happy.

Here’s to 2026! Let it be filled with light, achievements, and personal growth.

Utah Authors Day is a tradition dating back to the 1930s that was revived by the League of Utah Writers in 2021. This holiday, which is recognized annually with an official declaration from the governor, is a fantastic opportunity to bring writers into their local communities to meet readers and celebrate Utah’s wealth of literary talent.

On December 6th, local bookstores and libraries across the state will be hosting Utah authors for signings, book sales, presentations, and readings. Each venue will determine what events will take place. Follow the link for all locations and authors participating.

I’ll be at Lovebound Library with these other amazing authors. I hope you can stop by to support Utah authors and a wonderful small business in your area.
