Hello, 2026!

A note from me, my holidays, and a look at what’s coming next

Hiiii,

Happy New Year!

Whether you’re just resuming work today, heading back to school, or still enjoying a little bit of holiday magic, I hope this note finds you well.

I hope your holidays were restful, full of warmth, and maybe a little bit of magic. Mine started a little early — I spent a few days outside, attended back-to-back events, and even had a work event. I had a small accident one day, but thank God for life! Between the travel and everything going on, I couldn’t read or write because I was so tired and stressed.

Also, my birthday was in the last week of December, so the whole month felt like a lot. But there were some wonderful highlights too: new readers signed up for Obiliwiski’s ARC, and that truly made my year — my first win in 2026! And seeing new people subscribe to my newsletter warmed my heart.

This year, one of the things I want to do is connect more closely with you — the people who cheer, share, and read my stories. That’s why I’m starting a Street Team!

As part of this small, dedicated group, you’ll get:

• Early updates and exclusive content

• Materials to help share my books online

• A peek behind the scenes of my writing process

• The chance to be part of a growing, supportive community

If this sounds like fun, you can sign up here:

Now, here’s where I need your input: I’m trying to decide the best platform for our team. Should we use WhatsApp — cosy and personal, or Telegram — organised, scalable, and perfect for sharing links and updates? Personally, I lean toward WhatsApp, but I’d love to hear your thoughts! Feel free to reply and let me know.

Joining the Street Team is totally voluntary. It’s all about sharing your excitement, helping spread the word, and enjoying some insider perks. I can’t wait to build this little family with you in 2026.

Also, I’d love to hear about your holidays! Feel free to reply and tell me how your celebrations went, any little moments that made you smile, or even the chaos you survived.

Enjoy the rest of your day!
