The Baltimore Sun's Best 2026 Readers' Choice Winner

There are moments in a writer's life that leave you speechless, and this is certainly one of them.

I am beyond honored and deeply grateful to have been voted Best Author in The Baltimore Sun's Best 2026 Readers' Choice Awards.

This recognition means more to me than I can express because it comes directly from readers—the people who have welcomed my stories into their hearts and homes. Every vote, every book shared with a friend, every review posted, every recommendation, and every word of encouragement have helped make this incredible milestone possible. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Writing has always been about creating stories that inspire, comfort, entertain, and bring people together. Knowing that my books have touched so many readers is the greatest reward any author could ask for.

As if this honor wasn't exciting enough, the celebration continued with another wonderful surprise: Simplicity by the Sea was featured in the Recommended Books section of today's The Baltimore Sun. Seeing my novel highlighted alongside so many wonderful reads is truly a dream come true.

If you happen to pick up today's edition, I hope you'll take a moment to check it out!

This recognition has filled me with gratitude and renewed inspiration as I continue working on new stories. Every page I write is made possible because of readers like you who continue to believe in my work.

Thank you for being part of this amazing journey. Whether you've read one book or every book I've written, supported me from the beginning, or just recently discovered my stories, you are part of this celebration. Here's to new adventures, heartfelt stories, and the exciting chapters still to come. To read more, click here.
