HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Good riddance, 2025! (Let's do a giveaway!)

(Read all the way to the bottom for a Substack subscriber giveaway!)

I still don’t know what day it is, but I have some things to share, so here we go! (I’ll be back on my regularly-scheduled Friday programming once school starts again, I promise.)

First up, good riddance to 2025. Yeah, it gave me a book deal, but it also gave me a bunch of infections and a ramped-up anxiety situation that I could do without, so let’s look forward to 2026, yeah? I know I am. And to that end, I’m not doing a wrap-up or a look back. I’ve looked at it plenty. I’m good.

But I wanted to let you all know that I’m doing a giveaway over on my Instagram! Normally, I don’t talk about giveaways over here, but it’s HUGE. I’m sending one lucky US winner signed copies + goodies of my entire indie backlist. That’s NINE books! So go head over to Instagram and find the post to see how to enter. It closes January 5!

There’s still time to preorder books from Barnes & Noble! The best way to help make sure my books get on shelves is to preorder them. And keep that proof of purchase! I’ll be sure to send some cool goodies your way when the books release, okay? (Even internationally!) Preorder Not a Strong Enough Word and Not on the Same Page TODAY!

And last but not least, I’m feeling giveaway-happy, so let’s do one over here too, shall we? Subscribe to my Substack and comment below which signed copy of mine you’d like to win. I’ll pick one winner and send you that book! Open to US residents only. (Sorry international friends…shipping is prohibitively expensive!) Giveaway closes January 5 at 5pm Central time. I’ll contact you at the email address you’ve signed up with. Good luck!

Cheers to 2026! Here’s hoping it’s all up from here.

Happy reading!
