Lauren Webdale asked David Estes:

Hi David, I just wanted you to know that I have just finished reading your entire Dweller/Country Saga. I absolutely loved them, I've not enjoyed a series that much in a long time! I've always wanted to be a writer and you've inspired me to start writing again. Can't wait to read more of your work. What would you recommend I try next?

David Estes Hi Lauren, it's awesome to hear from you! Thank you so much for your support and for your kind words, YOU inspire me. But I am truly honored to help inspire you to get back into writing. It's hard sometimes...there are only so many hours in a day and inspiration comes at random and inconvenient times. I've found that making my writing a habit has worked well for me. Even before I was fortunate enough to write fulltime for a living, I wrote while working another fulltime job. I would usually write a half an hour on the commute to work, an hour at lunch, and a half an hour on the way home. That worked for me, but everyone is different. Figure out what works for you, and stick with it. Best of luck!

I'm so glad you're interested in reading some more of my books! Personally, I think The Slip Trilogy is my best series (it has the highest ratings so far), and is another SciFi dystopian story. But if you like witches, magic, and post-apocalyptic stuff, try my Salem's Revenge series, it even has a magical dog! Finally, if you prefer a standalone book, my newest novel, Strings, is a literary SciFi retelling of the Pinocchio story, but from the perspective of a teenager named Pia. As for 2017, I am planning to begin releasing my new high fantasy series, Fatemarked, in March/April, and hope to have the entire series published by the end of the year!

Thanks again, and I hope you find your next great read soon! Keep in touch, my friend!
