How’d I choose the coldest day in seventeen years to publish Wolf Legend? I didn’t know it would be the coldest day. Didn’t know it would be forty below zero. Didn’t know we’d stay home. Didn’t know the news would all be about the weather. Not about books.
On the other hand, no one will go outside unless absolutely necessary. That means lots of people will be looking for something to do. Like read a book. Like read my books, maybe. So maybe January sixth was a lucky choice of publication dates.
