2025: How It Went

2025 has been a busy year! Despite some unexpected health hiccups and an unexpected additional diagnosis, 2025 brought two new published books and some cover updates for some old ones.

In January, I published the first book in the Royals Trilogy, The Princess: Tales of Kelnore. Getting to deep dive into the world of Kelnore has been so much fun, and I can’t wait to share the rest of this series with y’all. The Princess also features a heroine who deals with chronic illness, which is something I’ve personally had to grapple with a lot over the last few years. Writing that aspect of Aurelia’s story wasn’t always smooth sailing, but I’m glad I stuck with it because stories like hers matter. In 2025, I also got Book 2 and Book 3 in the series fully drafted, and 2026 is going to definitely be bringing more of that world your way.

In November, I published the next book in my Hooves & Hearts Series, Heart of Hope. Isabel’s story was one that was a bit of a personal for me, as like Isabel, I’ve had to contend with the challenges of being the owner of a horse with complex medical issues. A lot of the inspiration for Kaspar come from my beautiful, quirky, and goofy Haflinger, Aeneas of Deer Haven, and at times, that made the story a bit of a challenge to write, but I’m so glad I stuck with it and that readers have enjoyed it as well. This year, I also started digging into drafting the next book in the series, and while the book is still very much in the early stages right now, I’m looking forward to sharing what’s next for Hooves & Hearts with y’all soon.

And finally, in 2025, a bunch of my print titles got a new look. 2025 marked 5 years of writing in the fantasy world of Pern Coen and I had so much fun bringing some new designs to some old favorites!

As always, a huge thank you to all of my readers for your continued support! It allows me to continue on this writing & publishing journey, which is something I am deeply grateful for. There are more stories in the works for 2026 and beyond, and I’ll be popping back on here in a few weeks to let y’all know more about what’s in store for 2026!

A marriage on the rocks. A homeless hound. Can they get a Christmas miracle?

Tori and Luke Sutton’s first year of marriage has been far from the idea of wedded bliss that the two of them envisioned.

As the holidays approach, Tori is feeling the stresses of the last year and Luke’s absence.

Luke is struggling with the pressure from not only his job, but his family as well. He’s determined to achieve success, something that has been drilled into him his whole life, but will it come at too high a cost?

One fateful night on a back country road has the potential to change Luke and Tori’s lives and their relationship. A down-on-his-luck Coonhound is in need of a family and a safe place to call home. Tori is immediately smitten with the hound, though Luke is skeptical. Despite Luke’s reservations, the hound is determined to be a part of their lives and the dog might just be the key to bringing Luke and Tori their own Christmas miracle.

Now Available: Heart of Hope

If she isn’t the top rider at River Green farm, who is she?

Hooves & Hearts Book 2

Horses have been Isabel Martin’s whole life. As the daughter of top show jumping trainer Rodger Martin, she’s been expected to be a champion for as long as she can remember. But lately, she can barely get around a course without feeling sick to her stomach and she’s earning more last places than blue ribbons.

With an abysmal summer show season, Isabel has more questions than answers about her future, and on top of that, her beloved mare, Cadence, is dealing with more lameness issues than Isabel can count. Rodger wants her to get rid of the mare and focus her attention on her career, but Isabel does something even worse. Not only does she keep Cadence, she takes on another down-on-his-luck jumper, Kaspar. She’s hopeful that with a little time and patience, she can get Kaspar performing again, but the young horse has other ideas.

The training program at River Green leaves Isabel with nothing but dead ends when it comes to helping Kaspar and Cadence, and she finds herself feeling more and more desperate. Selling the horses isn’t an option, so she turns to outside help instead, despite Rodger’s disapproval. And that outside help includes bringing in local equine veterinarian, Derrick Thompson. Isabel is desperate for him to help her horses, but she might get more than she bargained for. Derrick might be just as good at healing broken hearts as he is at healing horses. And when Isabel finds herself the target of a personal vendetta, she discovers she needs Derrick more than she ever imagined.
