The countdown is ticking, and I couldn’t be more excited to invite you to the launch party for my debut novel, Marked by Fate! After years of pouring my heart, soul, and probably too much coffee into this book, it’s finally time to celebrate—and I can’t wait to do it with all of you.

So, here’s the scoop:

📅 When: Saturday, May 17, 2025, starting at 4:00 PM

📍 Where: The Woods Park & Pavilion, Marion, OH

🎟️ Why: Because books, food trucks, and a little live music make everything better.

Now, I know what you’re thinking: “What’s in it for me?” Well, let me give you a sneak peek at what’s happening!

What to Expect

🍴 Food Trucks Galore: Whether you’re a foodie or just someone who loves the smell of street tacos in the air, we’ve got you covered. While I’m still finalizing the lineup, trust me—you won’t leave hungry.

🎻 Live Music: (Fingers crossed for a string quartet!) Picture this: the soft hum of strings filling the air as you dive into your brand-new book. Sound dreamy? I thought so.

📚 Signed Copies & Exclusive Early Access: The official release of Marked by Fate isn’t until May 24th, but launch party attendees will have the chance to snag their very own signed copy a week early. Yes, you’ll be the envy of your book club.

🎟️ Raffle for a Cause: Feeling lucky? Enter to win a signed hardcover, exclusive merchandise, and more—all while supporting a fantastic cause. Every penny from the raffle goes to Homeless to Home Animal Rescue & Cat Sanctuary, helping our furry friends find their forever homes.

💬 Meet & Chat: I’ll be there in all my excited, slightly nervous glory to sign books, answer your questions, and maybe overshare a story or two about how Marked by Fate came to life.

Why This Party Matters

This isn’t just a book launch—it’s a celebration of community, creativity, and the power of stories to bring people together. Plus, it’s a chance to support Homeless to Home Animal Rescue, an organization close to my heart. If you’re a reader, a dreamer, or just someone looking for a fun evening out, this event is for you.
