The calendar is updated. A calm April will give way to a busy May, with a fun stop in July. Getting excited!

I might not be enjoying the warm rays of the #springbreak crowd, but at least my book is! 🤣🤣

If you’re curious how Legend Has It sounds, then I’ve got something fun for you. Enjoy this first-page sample, read by the incredibly talented Lucy Vale VA!

As I say to current and future readers, enjoy the scares!

Sometimes it's hard to describe the feeling of seeing your book in the wild. It never gets old.

You can find Legend Has It at the Milwaukee Public Library - Bay View Branch, which is the same place you can find me in two weeks for an author talk. Hope you can make it.

Aside from writing, I’m also really into theater (performing and viewing). Had to check this one out. Incredibly relevant! Can’t wait to see how this story unfolds. @rowanprosepub.bsky.social

One of those simple posts of appreciation: It's so cool to see my debut novel in the McIntyre Library in Eau Claire, WI. I spent my share of hours in this place during my time at UW-Eau Claire, so it's special to see my own book on those shelves.

May appears to be shaping up to be a busy month. No complaints. I enjoy being a part of events like this. Join me and 89 other authors in Appleton to kick off the #summer!

I see your point and it's relatable, but I also love knowing that people are reading my novel. The sales will still come (as they have), but it's cool some have the library as a way to check it out.

Legend Has It can now be found in 7 branches of the Milwaukee Public Library. A surreal feeling. Glad so many are enjoying my debut novel. More to come...👀

I promised I'd make my own graphic for this event. And thus, here it is.

Really looking forward to this festival, especially because Legend Has It takes place here. Come on out. It'll be a fun day, and it's on my birthday, too!

Thank you, @gabino.bsky.social. Here's mine:

Legend Has It

Six college friends visit a fabled haunted house in Mukwonago, WI. Once inside, they realize all the threats are real and must endure 10 floors of terror to escape.

Looks like the secret is out! 🙂 I'll share a graphic of my own for this announcement later, but for now I'll say: This will be a fun and new way to enjoy my birthday!

Can't wait! May 17, 2026.
