Hello 2026 – What’s Next for This Indie Author?

New year, new goals… same chaotic writer energy.

I honestly can’t believe we’ve made it into another year and I’ve somehow got two books out in the world. TWO. ME.

I still have to do a double take every time I see them on Amazon. And the fact that actual people have read them (and even left reviews!) is something I’ll never stop being grateful for. If you’ve missed them, here’s what’s out so far:

📖 Another Day On The Island – my debut novel, a survival drama packed with family bonds, heartbreak, and resilience against the odds. Think emotion, adventure, and the kind of story that sticks with you.

📖 How The West Was Faked – my second book, and first ever romance! This one’s a cowboy-themed romcom with a chaotic love triangle, a city girl out of her depth, and a grumpy cowboy who sees right through her. (Yes, I may have watched a lot of Yellowstone for research.)

So… what about book three?

That’s the question I keep getting asked, and honestly – I’m still figuring it out. I’ve got a few options floating around:

• A festive romcom that’s about 20% written

• A gritty family drama that lives entirely in one of my notebooks

• A possible sequel to How The West Was Faked (because Harper and Wyatt still have a lot to say)

• Or something totally new and unexpected – who knows?

Right now, I’m giving myself a little time to breathe after a hectic end to 2025. Between running my business, editing and launching book two, and everything else life threw my way… I’m proud of what I managed to do.

2026 is all about creating at my own pace, continuing to grow this little author world I’ve built, and sharing more stories with you when they’re ready. If you’ve supported me so far – whether that’s by buying a book, leaving a review, following me on social media, or just cheering me on – thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Here’s to a year full of new chapters, both on and off the page.

Catch you soon,
