2026 is here! What!? Happy New Year! 🎉

Our monthly pinup features Sandy and Nikki enjoying the last days of summer! Remember, while we're freezing, they're living in perpetual late summer before heading off to St. Christopher's. That university has no idea what's coming!

So... This month brings new beginnings and long-awaited returns. Seems appropriate!

JACK & JILL continues with Parts 32 and 33 of Phase 9! I hope you enjoyed the lightness of "Boughs of Holly," but now we're back to the Coming Out dinner - which has become very tense now that Mr. Larson knows a small piece about what's really happening on the island.

HALF SISTERS - Season 3 Premiere! We'll pick up right from that kiss between Nikki and Zach. I have so many plans for this season - Nikki and Sandy rooming together at St. Christopher's, coed craziness / coziness, all of it. I can't wait! Also, I swear I didn't intend for this to be Episode 69 on purpose. Don't read into it! 😂

LIBERATION - Chapter 1! I am so, so, so excited to announce this new novel collaboration between myself and the incredible Zoe Storm! I am a huge fan, so this is really exciting for me. I don't want to say too much yet except that it's set in a medieval world similar to (but not quite) our own. And you all know how much I love / crave a historical trans story! Zoe will be writing the story, and I'll be creating the art. I've been looking forward to this for such a long time!

This month we also have three Snapshots 📸 - short stories with art similar to the old caption format. Two revisit familiar characters from Homecoming while one introduces someone new!

FOR AULD LANG SYNE - Divorced dad Cameron gets dragged to a New Year's Eve party in his hometown by his sister. There, he reconnects with Danny - his former best friend who has undergone a few changes in the years since they last saw each other... This one was originally scheduled for December, but it got bumped due to time / exhaustion. But I'm really looking forward to sharing with you this month.

LEARNING CURVES, Part 1 & 2 (Homecoming) - Bella built the body, but now Cindy has to build the life. David McBride is dead and buried, and in his place stands a woman trying to find her footing in a city that eats the innocent alive - good thing she never was!

We'll also have New Year's Pinups on the 14th with an evening wear theme! 📌 Time to dress up and celebrate in style.

As always, thank you for your incredible support! 2026 is going to be amazing! 💕

P.S. I'm on BlueSky if you want to follow/chat! EmoryAhlberg.bsky.social

A zoe collab *and* cindy??! We are eating good fam

Kris Greg

Please don't overwhelm yourself, but I must admit that I do like everything that I see on your schedule. I'm curious about For Auld Lang Syne & Liberation. Learning Curves also souns interesting. I hope that you had a fun, but restful New Year.

Gemma

Wow! I’m so excited. Beautiful images of Sandy and Nikki to welcome in the New Year. Also, the tantalising end of the month return of Half - Sisters. It will ease my returning to work (after short vacation) easier and something to look forward to. As Kris others have recognised, pace and don’t overwhelm yourself. Your passion and enjoyment for your stories is so nice to witness and comes through in everything you produce. Take care, looking forward to seeing the continuing journey of Nikki and Sandy as they navigate their new life experiences, this time as coeds at College.

To say I am excited is an understatement. You really are incredible and I cant wait to see where your stories take us.

EmilyJL

Can't wait for the Half Sisters premiere!

Emory Ahlberg

I'm really excited, too! I've missed Nikki and Sandy both.

Emory Ahlberg

Aw, thank you so much, Crystal! 💕I loved writing the third season of Homecoming, but now I've very eager for the return to East Texas and our pouty princess and "rich girl" Sandy lol

Emory Ahlberg

Thanks, Nolwenn! I'm glad you're excited for a Cindy snapshot. Me too! I love her personality - not to mention her beauty. 💕

Emory Ahlberg

💕 Thank you, Gemma! I hope you have a wonderful vacation. I have already made a resolution this year and a promise to my friends to do a better job taking care of my mental and physical health. Between the day job and some of the crazy long comics I put out, I was easily working 90 - 100 hours each week. That is not sustainable, I know. The trouble is... I love making stories for you all! But to do that long term, I need to pace myself better. 😊

Emory Ahlberg

💕 Thank you so much for checking in on me, Kris. I admit I've been burning the candle at both ends for the last few months. I really love making the stories for all of you, but I got a little out of control with the number of pages I was outputting. And then, with Taylor Made (which I adored), I was also writing 10k words for that on top of the 15k or so that I do for the comics PLUS the images... Yeah, not good. I've made a resolution to be better this year!

Emory Ahlberg

I'm going to give you more Cindy lore than you can handle, Alyson! 💕 (Possible?) Also, I really can't wait for the Zoe collab! We've been talking about it for a while and now it's here and I'm so excited. 😊

Dearest Emory, if you have a new year resolution, please make it that you’re not going to push yourself too hard and pace things evenly. Deal? And now January’s programme, which already looks suspiciously well-packed. Two chapters of the increasingly tense Jack and Jill, so tense indeed that it’s becoming quite unbearable. Let’s hope for even a partial resolution before the season ends. Please! And a welcome return for Half Sisters as well. If the pin up is any guide, our girls aren’t going to stand for crap from anyone. Those bad girl poses! Maybe they’re auditioning for a girl band? Really looking forward to this season. And the rest of the schedule looks absolutely tantalising. But…. Don’t push yourself too hard. Please. ❤️

Robertlouis

Oh, and I’m very curious to hear Cindy’s backstory, everything that’s made her the hard shell with the soft heart that she’s had to become. The more we learn about Bella’s other victims, the more we learn about her motivations and psychology, as well as the effects on those that she changes. Breaking down the evil enigma that is Bella is key to unlocking the mystery at the dark heart of the whole Homecoming saga.

Jade Diaz

Hopefully you will bring some chill energy to 2026 too 🙃

Emory Ahlberg

Robert, I accept your terms! Balance is the absolute goal for 2026. I promise. I know the schedule looks heavy this month, but I plan on limiting myself to between 18 - 22 pages per comic like I say on the description for the Patreon... I simply MUST do that, because... as you no doubt sensed... I was getting dangerously close to total burnout by the end of the year. And yes! That tension in Jack & Jill has reached its limit. I also promise a kind of resolution arrives soon... you will know who shoots Mr. Xu! Although, it might leave scars rather than clean breaks. Regarding Half Sisters.... God, I love those poses. They would make a gorgeous girl band! 🤣 But I really and truly appreciate your concern more than I can say. I will pace myself.... 💕

Emory Ahlberg

Thank you, Robert! Cindy’s backstory is calcified trauma. She had to become something unbreakable to survive a force like Bella. And you are spot on about Bella. She is the black hole at the center of this galaxy. We define her by the light she swallows... her victims. Every person she changes offers another clue to her pathology.

Robertlouis

Good, I’m relieved to hear you say that, Emory. And I hope you won’t mind that if I sense you overreaching yourself, I won’t hesitate to remind you gently of the terms of our agreement! 💜
