Another great year in the books as an indie author Another great year in the books as an indie author! When I started to put this post together I realized I've done more than I thought this year! I didn't publish anything new, but I did win an award, take a research trip, started an author newsletter, celebrated a few milestones, and wrote & revised a novel to publish next year! 

Thanks to everyone who supported my books this year 🫶📚 Here's to a great 2026! 🎉
