I’m absolutely thrilled to share some incredible news with you all—Shadowed Skies has been awarded the Bronze Quill in this year’s League of Utah Writers competition!

This award is such an honor, and I’m deeply grateful to the League of Utah Writers for recognizing my YA dystopian fantasy romance among so many talented entries.

I also want to extend heartfelt thanks to Collective Ink Books for believing in this story from the start, my wonderful friends and family for their unwavering support, and—most importantly—to you, my readers. Your encouragement, reviews, and messages mean more than you know.

With this win, Shadowed Skies joins my other honored works, making me a three-time League of Utah Writers award recipient—Silver Quill in 2020 and 2024, and now the Bronze Quill in 2025. Each one of these milestones is a reminder that stories can take flight when they find their way into the right hands—and hearts.

If you haven’t yet joined the journey under the Shadowed Skies, now is the perfect time. You can grab your copy from your favorite bookseller and see why this world and its characters mean so much to me.

Thank you for helping make this possible. Here’s to many more adventures together!
