Hello, Dear Friends!

First and foremost, let me express my deepest gratitude for your unwavering support and understanding during my absence. As I pen this note to you and reflect on our past conversations, I'm overcome with emotion—teary-eyed and profoundly touched by the love and care you’ve shown through the years.

It feels both nostalgic and heartwarming to be writing to you again after such a long time away.

Years ago my life took an unexpected turn, and I had to step away from our cherished conversations. My husband was in a tragic accident that turned our lives upside down. It took a decade of dedicated work and healing, but I'm thrilled to say that he's now back on his amazing, brilliant feet.

In the last year, I have been able to once again pick up my pen, dust off my imagination, and get back to creating. I'm excited to move forward, to write, to connect, and to share with you what I have been up to and everything I am learning about the future of storytelling and publishing! (I included some of my recent projects below.)

Above all the amazing things I have experienced this year, I am most eager to reconnect with each and every one of you. Your thoughts, ideas, and presence have always been an inspiration and comfort to me. Please don't hesitate to reach out—I'd love to hear from you and catch up on all the things happening in your world. Please feel free to click here and send me a note!

I am so grateful for your continued support and friendship. Let's pick up where we left off and create more unforgettable moments together.

Until next time and with much love, Rionna

For Little Knows

I'm bursting with excitement to share another piece of news—I have a new book on the horizon! For Little Knows will soon be released by an incredible publisher, Creatokia, based in Germany. This book is illustrated by the fabulously talented Megan Morrow. I wrote it in the waiting rooms of hospitals, waiting for my husband to get out of surgery, waiting for the doctors to come, waiting to once again hold my husband’s hand. FOR LITTLE KNOWS is very dear to my heart. I can't wait for you to join me. I think it is a beautiful story, with lots of romance and murder! Of course!
