This Week @ Monday Creek: Welcome to 2026! New Year, New Books!

 

At the office (c) Monday Creek Publishing LLC

Welcome to 2026 — a fresh chapter, a clean page, and honestly, a pretty exciting moment for everyone here at Monday Creek Publishing LLC. If you’re new around here, pull up a chair. If you’ve been with us for a while, you already know we love kicking off a new year with big energy, new stories, and plenty of reasons to gather with fellow book lovers.
 
NEW YEAR, NEW BOOKS
 
We’ve been busy behind the scenes, and 2026 is shaping up to be one of our most creative years yet. Several new titles are rolling out — a mix of fiction, memoir, poetry, and those wonderfully quirky projects that only our authors could dream up.
 
You’ll see fresh voices joining our lineup, along with returning authors who continue to surprise us with new directions and bold ideas. We’ll be sharing cover reveals, author spotlights, and sneak peeks as the year unfolds.
