Next Stop: Denver!

The journey continues.

This Thursday, I will be heading to Denver, Colorado for what promises to be another exciting chapter in the ongoing journey of Inheritance of Silence.

Over the past several weeks, I have had the privilege of celebrating the release of my debut novel with readers, friends, family, and members of the literary community through events in Alabama and Texas. From the Author Launch Reception at B&A Warehouse to Central Alabama PrideFest and the Dallas Pride Parade, every conversation and connection has reinforced why stories matter.

Now, it's Denver's turn.

On Friday, June 26, 2026, I will be appearing at Barnes & Noble Denver West Village for a special book signing event from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. I am looking forward to meeting readers, signing copies of Inheritance of Silence, discussing the inspiration behind the novel, and connecting with the local literary community.

As a debut author, every event feels significant. Less than a year ago, many of these opportunities existed only as goals written down in a notebook. Today, I find myself preparing to travel across the country to share a story that was once just an idea and is now reaching readers around the world.

This trip also comes during an exciting season of growth. Inheritance of Silence continues to receive award recognition, media attention, and incredible support from readers. Meanwhile, work continues behind the scenes on my second novel, House of Windows, which is expected to be released later this year.

If you are in the Denver area, I would love the opportunity to meet you. Whether you've already read Inheritance of Silence or are just discovering my work for the first time, please stop by and say hello.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this journey so far. Your encouragement, reviews, shares, recommendations, and kind words have helped make moments like this possible.

Denver, I'll see you soon.
