It&#8217;s a three little pigs story &#8211; if they used a qualified builder. It also saw me working with a new illustrator, Jordyn Norlan. Jordyn has also been working with me on a Christmas book that will be out next year. Hopefully we have many more books to share in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m still working on the Suri Series. Book 1 will be getting a few edits and a new cover design this year. Book 2 and Prequel have now turned into five partially written books. I&#8217;m hoping to get the next one out this year with the others to follow soon after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did three markets over five day in 2025, selling 132 books. That brought my total sales for 2025 to 270 books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>August 2026 will be the 10th anniversary of me becoming a published author with the release of If I Wake. Look out for some promotions and discounts throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reading Update:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I read a reasonable 40 books in 2025. Unfortunately, I&#8217;m still buying more books than I&#8217;m reading so that to-be-read pile isn&#8217;t getting any smaller, and I still have books in the pile from 2016! I&#8217;ll get to them eventually!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy reading and have a great 2026!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Writing Update: 2025 saw me publish one new picture book called Jack the Builder.
