Welcome to my author newsletter

Welcome to the Clues Crew, super sleuth! Please check your inbox (or spam/junk mail/promotions folder) for your free cozy mystery.

You’ve cracked your first case just by signing up—but now, a curious mystery is afoot…

🔍 The Baffling Case of the Missing Email

An avid reader (that’s you!) subscribed to a cozy mystery newsletter, lured by promises of free bookish goodies, behind-the-scenes secrets, and sneak peeks galore. But then… nothing. Not a single email in sight. Not in the inbox. Not in drafts. Vanished.

Where did the messages go?

It turns out, email gatekeepers—code name: Google, Yahoo, Outlook, etc.—sometimes shuffle perfectly innocent emails into dark alleys with names like SpamJunk Mail, or Promotions. (Sounds like the kind of place our sleuths avoid after sunset, doesn’t it?)

🔍 Your Mission: Help rescue my emails from their mysterious fate and bring them safely into your inbox, where they belong!

Here’s what you can do:

  1. If my email isn’t in your inbox, check your spam/junk mail/ promotions tab for an email from emily@emilyoberton.com
  2. If you’re using Gmail on a computer, just add me to your contacts. Hover over my name at the top of an email from me in your inbox. A little box will pop up—click the small plus icon to add me to your Contacts. (Think of it as issuing me a shiny detective’s badge.)
  3. If you’re on a phone or using another email provider (Yahoo, Outlook, etc.), don’t worry—I’ve assembled all the clues and step-by-step instructions for you right here.

Safelisting my email address only takes a minute, and it ensures you won’t miss a single bookish gift (check out what’s coming below!) For the next five days, I’ll be sending you a new surprise each day—so keep those sleuthing eyes on your inbox. 🙂

Let’s not let your inbox become a cold case. Happy sleuthing!

Emily
