I am unbelievably excited for all the amazing happenings on my calendar for the upcoming year.

The year of the fire horse doesn't even start until February 17th, but I'm already coming in hot!


Here's what's already on my confirmed calendar and/or radar for 2026. Some of these are happening in January, so stay on your toes!


January 3rd: I'm guesting on the podcast "And I Quote" with host, Ryan! Catch it live at 12:00pm EST, or watch the replay on his YouTube channel @AndIQuoteChannel


January 24th: Join me for my Fantasy World Building Workshop at Phoenix & Dragon Bookstore in Sandy Springs, GA! Previously, this workshop was exclusively taught for Carnegie Writers members in 2022 & 2023, and the map making portion was presented as a mini workshop at CONjuration 2024, but I am bringing my in-demand, crafty workshop to the general public for the first time! Click here to register today, and mark your calendar!

Workshop will be held from 12:30p - 2:30p


Book signing with Teddy Bare Body to follow immediately after in the retail gallery!












February 6th - 8th: I'm a confirmed guest, panelist, & vendor at CONpossible in Duluth, GA! Get your tickets today and join us for a romp in the realm of the fae.


April 17th - 19th: I'm a confirmed guest, panelist, & vendor at JordanCon in Atlanta, GA! Woo! Branden Sanderson himself will be there this year. So, after you meet him you should definitely come see me ;)


April 24th - 26th: I'm a confirmed guest & panelist at StellerFest in Duluth, GA! I may be a fantasy author, but I love scifi too! StellerFest is Atlanta's premier scifi convention. Trust me. You'll want to beam over for this one.


March (exact date TBD): Official book release of The Key, the first book in my Raashan Histories trilogy! I am partnering with 2nd&Charles in Roswell, GA for an amazing event filled with excitement, adventure, and, of course, nerding out like crazy!


May 29th - 31st: ConCarolinas (tentative) in Charlotte, NC. I have applied and am not yet confirmed. If everything works out, I'll be taking a little road trip for Memorial Day weekend 2026!


Early June (exact date TBD): The Teddy Bare Body birthday bash! Come see me and tons of other talented vendors and artists as we all celebrate the most nourishing, luxurious skin care brand around! Developed specifically for sensitive skin - amazing for all!


July 17th - 19th (probably): ATL Comic Con hasn't officially announced dates, or opened up applications yet, but I had such a fantastic time last year with my collaboration partner. You know you'll see Teddy Bare Body and me there again in 2026.


I will also be applying for Multiverse and CONjuration 2026 as soon as applications are open. Updates will occur as I confirm them. I cannot wait to see you all in 2026!
