Looking Ahead: Elias Wrenford’s Literary Roadmap for 2026

In 2025, Elias Wrenford achieved significant success in the Spanish literary market, becoming a leading author in historical romance. As 2026 unfolds, he plans to expand internationally with the translated release of his novel El Corazón del Gran Hotel, alongside a revised edition of his first work and a new novel.

The year 2025 marked a decisive turning point in the literary journey of Elias Wrenford. Over the course of twelve intense and rewarding months, his novels consolidated their place within the Spanish market, repeatedly reaching #1 positions in key Amazon categories related to historical romance, cultural heritage fiction, and 20th-century romantic narratives.

What began as a steady growth quickly became something more solid: Elias Wrenford established himself as a reference author in historical romantic fiction in Spain, with a loyal and expanding readership drawn to his evocative prose, emotionally rich characters, and stories deeply rooted in memory, place, and longing.

As we step into 2026, the focus naturally widens beyond Spain. This new year is shaped by expansion, translation, and carefully planned releases designed to bring Wrenford’s literary universe to new international readers.


2026: A Year of Expansion and Continuity

Rather than rushing into constant releases, 2026 has been conceived as a year of meaningful growth—allowing stories already loved in Spain to find their voice in other languages, while new narratives quietly take shape.

Below is a first look at what readers can expect in the months ahead.


Mid-2026: El Corazón del Gran Hotel Reaches New Languages

One of the most anticipated milestones of the year will be the international release of
El Corazón del Gran Hotel, scheduled for mid-2026.

After its remarkable success in Spain—where it remained for weeks among the top positions in historical romance categories—this novel will finally open its doors to readers beyond the Spanish-speaking world.

At its core, El Corazón del Gran Hotel is a story about memory, love, and the silent weight of places that have witnessed entire lives pass through them. The upcoming translations aim to preserve its atmospheric tone, emotional depth, and cultural richness, offering international readers the same immersive experience that resonated so strongly in Spain.


A Return to the Beginning: A Revised Edition

2026 will also look back, revisiting the novel that marked the very beginning of Elias Wrenford’s published journey:
Relaciones dulces como Cupcakes en Boston.

A revised and updated edition is currently in development. This new version will refine style, pacing, and emotional nuance, aligning the novel more closely with the author’s mature narrative voice while respecting the warmth and charm that made it so beloved by early readers.

This re-edition is intended not only for new international audiences, but also for long-time readers who wish to rediscover where everything began.


Late Summer in Spain, Late 2026 Internationally: A New Novel

Finally, 2026 will bring a brand-new novel, whose title remains undisclosed for now. What can be shared is its planned trajectory:

  • Summer 2026: First release in Spain
  • End of 2026: Gradual rollout for other markets

As with previous works, this upcoming novel will delve into themes of emotional inheritance, restrained desire, and the quiet echoes of the past. More details will be revealed as the year progresses.


Staying Connected

For readers who wish to follow these developments closely—translations, cover reveals, release dates, and exclusive insights—the best way to stay informed is through the author’s official channels and literary newsletter.

2026 is not about speed.
It is about care, continuity, and crossing borders thoughtfully.

New stories are on their way.
And the journey is only just beginning.

When the year slowly fades: thank you for sharing this journey

As the year draws to a close, Elias Wrenford expresses heartfelt gratitude to readers for their support and emotional connections throughout the year. Reflecting on the significance of stories born from silences, he emphasizes the communal nature of the writing experience and looks forward to new narratives in the upcoming year. Happy holidays!

There are moments in the year when everything seems to slow down.

Lights turn on earlier, the cold invites us to stay indoors, and without quite realizing it, we begin to look back.

Christmas has that effect: it gently forces us to pause.

And today I want to take advantage of this special quiet at the end of the year to write to you without haste, without promotion, and without artifice. Just to say thank you.

Thank you for reading, for feeling, and for staying

This year has been, in many ways, extraordinary.

Not only because of numbers, sales, or visible achievements — which matter too — but because of something far more difficult to measure:

the messages, the reviews, the emails, the words from readers who have said “this story stayed with me”, “it made me remember”, or “it helped me feel.”

For a writer, there is no greater gift.

Every reader who chooses to spend a few hours inside a novel is someone who trusts.

They trust their time, their emotions, their memories.

And that is no small thing.

Stories born from what was never fully said

Many of the stories I write are born from silences.

From what was never spoken aloud, from what was only half-lived, from what was kept hidden because “that wasn’t talked about.”

Perhaps that is why Christmas feels so closely tied to these novels.

Because it is also a time of grandparents, of humble tables, of memories that return unannounced.

Of looking back and understanding that, even in difficult years, there was love, there was dignity, and there were promises that were never entirely broken.

If any of my novels has made you feel something like that, then everything has been worth it.

A shared year deserves to be celebrated

None of this would have been possible without you.

Without those who recommend a book to someone they love.

Without those who leave a review when no one asks them to.

Without those who arrive for the first time… and those who choose to stay.

This year has not been mine alone.

It has been ours.

And that is something I never want to take for granted.

Looking toward the new year with calm… and anticipation

The coming year will bring new stories.

New settings, new characters, new wounds, and new ways of loving.

Novels that are already quietly taking shape, waiting for their moment, as good stories always do.

I am in no hurry.

I prefer them to arrive when they are ready, the way truly important things do.

I can only promise you what I always do: respect for the reader, love for the story, and care for every single word.

For these days

I hope these holidays give you rest.

I hope there is a long-overdue conversation that finally happens.

I hope you find a moment to read without watching the clock.

And if you choose to spend that time accompanied by one of my stories, believe me: it will be an honor.

Thank you for being there.

Thank you for such a beautiful year.

And thank you, from the heart, for continuing to walk with me into the next one.

Happy holidays.

Merry Christmas.

And may the new year find us with stories worth telling.
