How many books am I currently promoting? 4. How ridiculous do I feel? 15 out of 10.  Did I plan this? I did not. Book seeds are planted so long before the books actually come out – and not all seeds survive to blooming stage. You can’t predict it. Like the year my dad ended up with 32 pumpkins in the garden not due to any planning but solely due to seeds sown long before. So, consider this my year of 32 pumpkins. Four. Four readable pumpkins. The Crimson Road, Feb 2025.The Cold House, Oct 2025.A Forest, Darkly, Feb 2026.The Sourdough Compendium, June 2026.Oh… And a novella, Fitcher’s Bird in Oct 2026. Five pumpkins.
