There’s something surreal about watching the dreams you scribbled in notebooks years ago slowly turn into real moments — the kind where you can look back and see just how far you’ve come.

This week, I got one of those moments.

I’m officially joining the lineup of authors for the 2026 Ohio BookBash Expo, hosted by Pretty Good Books in Conneaut, Ohio. The event will take place on April 25, 2026, at the New Leaf Event Center, and I still can’t quite believe I get to say that sentence out loud.

When I first started writing Marked by Fate, I never imagined where it would lead — the long nights, the early mornings, the heartbreak of edits, and the small, shining victories that keep you going. And now, to stand beside other Ohio authors, surrounded by readers who love stories as much as I do, feels like the kind of moment I used to daydream about.

The 2026 lineup is shaping up to be an incredible gathering of storytellers, and I’m honored to be a small part of it.

So if you find yourself in Conneaut, Ohio, next spring — come find me at my table. I’ll have copies of Marked by Fate, and maybe a few surprises from The Chronicles of Fate world.

Here’s to another chapter in this wild, beautiful story.

And to the readers who make every one of these moments possible — thank you.

Stay tuned: I’ll be sharing more info about this exciting event as the date gets closer!
