Dear Readers,

What a month it’s been! I’m thrilled to share that I recently attended the eighth annual Sonoma Valley Authors Festival in Sonoma, California, founded by David and Ginny Freeman. It was a spectacular gathering of thought leaders, authors, and readers nestled in the heart of wine country at the beautiful Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn Resort.

From riveting conversations with investigative journalist Patrick Radden Keefe, also an award-winning staff writer at The New Yorker magazine; to powerful insights on education and artificial intelligence from Sal Khan, founder and CEO of Khan Academy; to inspiring interviews hosted by Jeffrey Brown, senior correspondent for the PBS NewsHour with literary giants Michael Connellyand Isabel Allende. Every moment was a reminder of the enduring power of the written word.

Being surrounded by such an extraordinary group of minds was not only humbling, but it also reignited my passion for writing, compelling stories grounded in truth, strategy, and the intrigue of politics. Stay tuned…new pages are in the works.

In the meantime, if you’re new to my work or want to revisit the world of Simon & Max, visit www.sallyfernandez.com for all the latest books, background stories, and more.

Also, brace yourself for the new release of the Audiobook for Noble’s Quest, the second book in The Simon Hall series.
