Author Update 2026: New Children's Book, Writing Projects, and Library School

Hi everyone!

I hope you're doing well. I know I haven't made a post in quite a while. This year has been busy, exciting, and full of new projects, so I wanted to stop by and share a few updates.

One of the biggest projects I've been working on is the second book in the Zinnia's Musical Adventure series, Zinnia and the Brave Song. It's been two years since I released the first book, and I'm incredibly proud and excited about this new story.

In Zinnia and the Brave Song, Zinnia helps her friend Lily overcome stage fright, something I can personally relate to. As someone who has struggled with performance anxiety myself, this story is especially meaningful to me, and I can't wait to share it with readers.

I've also been working on a short story. I haven't finalized the title or release plans yet, but I'll be sure to keep you updated as things progress. Right now, I'm finishing the final edits and exploring possible publication opportunities. I'm considering submitting it to a magazine or literary journal.

In addition to writing, I've been updating older posts on this website, reading a lot, and continuing to learn more about the craft of writing.

Another exciting change is that I'll be attending school this fall to study library science. Books, literacy, and learning have always been important to me, so I'm looking forward to this next chapter and sharing my experiences along the way.

Thank you for sticking with me during my absence. I'm excited to be back and look forward to sharing more writing updates, book news, and creative adventures with you soon!
