π Publishing Update
Β Inheritance of Silence β Official Release Date Announced
The journey from manuscript to market is rarely linear β but it is always transformational.
I am pleased to officially announce that my debut hybrid-fiction novel, Inheritance of Silence, will be released on April 24, 2026, through Austin Macauley Publishers.
Over the past several months, the Editorial, Production, Accounts, and Marketing teams at Austin Macauley have worked diligently behind the scenes to shepherd this project through its developmental phases β from structural refinement and copyediting to typesetting and cataloging. With both ISBN registration and Library of Congress cataloging now secured, the book has formally transitioned into its final pre-publication stage.
We are currently coordinating with the Marketing Department to finalize pre-order distribution links and retail placement strategies. Once those links are activated across global distribution channels, they will be published here immediately for readers, reviewers, and institutional partners who have already expressed interest in early acquisition.
π Awards & Recognition
Inheritance of Silence has also been nominated for Author of the Year by the International Impact Book Awards.
Β Public voting for this distinction will remain open through April 15, 2026.
Additional information regarding how to participate in the voting process will be made available on this site and through my official mailing list in the coming weeks.
π Events & Appearances
As we move closer to publication, planning is actively underway for:
- Official Release Party programming
- Regional book signing engagements
- Festival appearances during Pride Month 2026
- Multi-city author tour activations across the United States
- International appearance scheduling in London, England
Initial inquiries have already been submitted for bookstore-hosted release events, including potential partnerships in The Woodlands and Birmingham markets. Confirmed dates and venues will be added to the Events page as they are finalized.
π What Comes Next
Following the release of Inheritance of Silence, work will continue in collaboration with Austin Macauley on my second forthcoming title, House of Windows, which is currently advancing through its own production timeline.
This next phase marks the beginning of a broader author-centric visibility strategy, including:
- Media outreach
- Book-to-screen rights exploration
- Academic and book club discussion placements
- LGBTQ+ literary programming partnerships
- Speaking engagements and panel discussions
Thank you to every reader, subscriber, and supporter who has walked alongside me throughout this process. Your continued encouragement has made it possible to bring this story into the world.
More updates β including pre-order access β will be shared soon.
