Overview
David is back (he first appeared in Episode 22) to give us an update on how things are going since we last talked. He's kept up writing, and has published a new book in his Project Adventure series, but hasn't had the breakout success.
We discuss his new books and what he's been doing to market his current books. While he's had some success, he is still working to make writing a better career.

[00:00:51] Stephen: All right, David, welcome to have discovered wordsmith podcasts again, as good to see, actually see you this time. How have things been? Well, thank you,
[00:00:59] David: Stephen. I'm so glad to be here again, as you said, and that's great to actually see you this time. Things have been missed as good as they could've been a crazy time.
[00:01:08] Stephen: Now, I believe last time we talked, your wife was commuting and you were living at the time. It was Madrid. Okay.
[00:01:18] David: Pretty much at the time, but now we're actually, we're back to Munich, which is where my, my boys were born. My boys close to seven in a couple of months. So they actually started school 10 days ago here.
[00:01:30] David: So that's on top of everything that's been going on lately. Uh, Yeah. Trying to figure out, figure it out a school in a foreign language and all that. So it's so yes, but since then, of course, many things have happened. And the part of the reason why we're back in back to Munich is because we don't, she's not, my wife is not commuting that much anymore.
[00:01:53] David: There's no point. And then it just made more sense to be here because this is kind of know for many reasons that we consider those to be.
[00:02:04] Stephen: Nice. Okay. So when we talked, you had written a book, one of your project adventure series, and you're working on book two. And in the last year, even with moving as your boys starting school, you've got four books out now.
[00:02:18] Stephen: So tell us what's been going on in your writing to get four books in your series. The
[00:02:23] David: short answer is I've gotten better at it. And yeah, the book one was a great learning experience and, but there was a learning curve to everything and inviting is no different than. Book one when it was really finished and out there, it just took so much, uh, and learned so many things that I had no idea I would have to learn in order to create.
[00:02:47] David: So something as complex as a, as an actual book, as a self-published author, this is quite an undertaking. And, but then later on the actual, the act of creating books became super.
