Dear Readers,

I’m genuinely excited to share a small but meaningful milestone. My Christmas poem, “Mr. North Goes South,” has made its debut on YouTube. This piece remains unpublished, which makes this release a first-look experience and a deliberate pivot from the page to a new platform.

The poem is performed by Val Cole, whose delivery brings clarity, warmth, and momentum to the story. Hearing the work aloud adds a new layer of impact and reminds me why storytelling is not confined to one format. Words like to travel. Sometimes they wear a winter coat and head south.

This project is about connection, seasonality, and trying something slightly outside the usual workflow. I appreciate every reader who continues to follow the work, support the experiments, and show up with curiosity.

Thank you for being here, for listening, and for carrying these stories forward with me.

Warmly,

Luis Ammerman
