\n<\/p>\n

Hello again!<\/p>\n

Busy times here in\u00a0Shed<\/span>\u00a0HQ. To be rushing to finish one book manuscript before Christmas is unfortunate. To be in the same situation with\u00a0two<\/em>\u00a0books at the same time is careless. There is lots of red pen scribbling going on!<\/p>\n

But it does mean that, after a fallow 2025 in terms of publishing, I\u00a0should have\u00a0two books<\/strong>\u00a0coming out in 2026.<\/p>\n

Canoe Adventure<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is a loose sequel to my previous books for children, and sees the two young protagonists heading off to retrace Lewis & Clark\u2019s iconic expedition across America.<\/p>\n

The second book, whose working title is\u00a0Unwilded\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>(and is based on\u00a0one of my other newsletters<\/a>),<\/em>\u00a0is about nature disconnection, the axed Sycamore Gap tree, Martha the last passenger pigeon, and whether spending fifteen minutes in nature could save the universe\u2026<\/p>\n

This also means that I\u2019m going to begin a brand new project in January. That\u2019s exciting\u2026 except I\u00a0have no idea what it should be! I\u2019d like to get my teeth into something new and different, something that makes me think in new ways.\u00a0Any ideas welcome!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Right, let me quickly introduce myself to any newcomers, and then we\u2019ll get on with business\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m Alastair Humphreys, adventurer, book writer, and overexcited sender of four newsletters. Nobody needs\u00a0that<\/em>\u00a0many emails from me!<\/p>\n

You\u2019re reading\u00a0Shouting<\/span>\u00a0from the\u00a0Shed<\/span><\/em>. Please check it\u2019s the one that suits you best \u2013 or switch to a better fit:<\/p>\n
