Dear Family & Friends,
As the final pages of 2025 turn, we want to offer our warmest thanks for following, cheering, and believing in the fantastical goings-on of the ever-growing world of Meesylvania.
Your kind words, thoughtful feedback, and steady encouragement have been treasured more than a dragon’s hoard of golden cheese. Truly.
Now, allow us to lift the curtain just a little and reveal what wonders await in 2026…
Meesylvania is preparing to spread its borders and open its gates to many new citizens—honking geese, waddling ducks, owls aplenty, along with badgers, hedgehogs, and even a few mystic beings whose origins remain delightfully unclear.
With this growth comes care and wisdom. Mayor Mouser, ever the forward thinker, has commissioned a greatly expanded medical staff, ensuring that every resident will have access to a doctor, a psychiatrist, and even a dentist (yes, even the bravest meeses must mind their teeth). And as a population boom looms on the horizon, a number of teachers will be welcomed to help guide and prepare a new generation of little meeses to become thoughtful, productive citizens of the realm.
Mayor Mouser himself will also be stepping into a more public role in the year ahead, and—much to the relief of many—several members of his long-suffering staff will finally receive the help they’ve been enthusiastically requesting.
Many of you already know of Bramble the Brave, the adventurous young raccoon who journeys far and wide in search of the legendary land of Meesylvania, encountering all manner of scrapes, surprises, and discoveries along the way. Work on that tale has paused briefly while one of us undertakes the noble quest of learning to draw fantasy maps (a perilous undertaking in its own right).
In the meantime, Dina and I will be writing a series of illustrated short stories celebrating all things Meesylvania. These tales will eventually form the foundation of a complete series of children’s books… for adults.
So yes—an ambitious and magical year lies ahead.
If you have ideas, curiosities, or stories you’d love to read, please feel free to pass them along to Maximillian the Librarian, who will ensure they reach the esteemed members of the Meesylvania Literary Society.
Thank you, once again, for your support. We wish you all a happy, healthy, and wonderfully productive New Year.
With our very best regards,
Michael & Dina
