If you’ve found your way here, welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

This newsletter grows out of the supportive, passionate community that’s gathered around me through this journey. The friends and family who’ve cheered me on, and the fellow readers and writers I’ve connected with on social media.

With this newsletter, I get to slow down and go deeper. It’s a space where I can be more unguarded and personal about the work and the vulnerability that comes with telling a story that matters.

If you’d like to come along for the ride, I’d be honored to have you.

What you will get:

  • Exclusive updates on my novel as it continues to take shape

  • First-to-know updates on big milestones and important dates (i.e. cover reveals, release news, and more)

  • Behind-the-scenes look at my writing process: the questions, the mistakes, the small victories

  • Invitations to share your thoughts as I wrestle with creative decisions

  • Reflections from the in-between: what I’m reading, noticing, and carrying with me

  • A more personal corner of this journey where I can be a little more vulnerable and share the stuff that I’d rather not post for the masses on social media

Who this is for:

  • Writers at any stage (i.e. those just beginning, those deep in the work, and those finding their way back to the page)

  • Readers who love good stories, being transported by the page, and talking about it

  • History lovers and historical fiction readers

  • Anyone who’s visited Montana, dreams of visiting, or feels drawn to wild, wide-open places

  • Those curious about the long, unseen work of writing a book

  • Friends and family who’ve been cheering me on and wondering what I’ve been up to lately
