Wishing you a sparkling Happy New Year!

As the clock struck midnight and the fireworks faded over the horizon, I found myself tucked away with a notebook, already dreaming of the new worlds and characters waiting to be born. There is something magical about the transition into a new year. It feels like a fresh chapter in a notebook, crisp and white, just waiting for the ink to hit the page. As we step into 2026, I wanted to take a moment to look back at how far we’ve come and give you a glimpse of the journey ahead.

Looking Back: The 'Country Hearts' Journey

For some of you, our journey together began with Country Hearts. Watching you fall in love with the rolling hills, the quaint Tennessee life, and the complicated, beautiful hearts of its characters has been a highlight of my career. Your reviews, your messages, and your shared photos of the book in the wild have fuelled my creativity through the long winter nights.

I’ve realised that while Country Hearts was a destination for many, for me, it was just the beginning. It taught me so much about the bonds we share, whether they are the "gold dust" friendships in Behind The Stars or the deep, emotional family ties we explored in Quiet Whispers.

The Horizon: New Books for 2026

I know many of you are asking: “What’s next?”

I am thrilled to officially announce that the countdown has begun! 2026 is going to be a landmark year. I am currently working on multiple new titles scheduled to launch this year. While I have to keep some secrets under wraps for just a little longer, I can tell you this:

• Get ready to meet heroes and heroines who are as relatable as they are flawed.
• Following the suspenseful energy of Behind The Stars, expect more stories that keep you guessing until the final page.

A Community of Readers

Writing can be a lonely profession, but you make it a conversation. As I build these new stories, I carry your feedback with me. I think about the readers who loved the chemistry between Kitty and Fred, and those who felt the tension of Tara’s digital mystery.

As we embark on this new year, I want to thank you for being the most supportive community an author could ask for. Whether you’ve been here since the first draft or you just discovered my work through a 5-star review from a friend, I am so glad you’re here.

Let the Countdown Begin!

While I still have many... MANY boxes to unpack from our house move just before Christmas, the coffee is brewing, the cursor is blinking, and the stories are calling. I can’t wait to reveal the covers, the titles, and the release dates very soon. Make sure you’re following along here and on social media so you don’t miss the big reveals!

What are your reading goals for 2026? Are you looking for more cosy romance, or are you craving a psychological thriller that keeps you up at night? Let me know... I might just be writing exactly what you’re looking for.

Here’s to a year of sparkling stories and "unputdownable" moments.
