El fiasco de Draft2digital nos obliga a los escritores a replantearnos nuestra estrategia.
Tras su publicación en inglés, neerlandés y, más recientemente, en español, mi versión en alemán de «El tesoro de Yamada», «Yamada's Schatz», también está disponible desde hoy.

Das Draft2digital-Fiasko zwingt uns Autoren, unsere Strategie zu überdenken. Es ist an der Zeit, neue Wege zu gehen.
Nach Englisch, Niederländisch und vor Kurzem auch Spanisch ist meine deutsche Version von „Yamadas Schatz“ ab heute auch auf KDP verfügbar.

The Draft2digital fiasco forces us writers to review strategy. It is time to “go wide” in a different fashion.
After English, Dutch and more recently Spanish, my German version of Yamada’s Treasure, “Yamada's Schatz” is as of today available on KDP too. #booksky

Way behind on my plan to write my second book in the Peter Prins series. Trying to write with a total kitchen renovation/extension going on does not really help…
Most of the story will be set in southern Thailand again, with some scenes in Amsterdam.
Although there will be mention of treasures and gold, Peter Prins and his friends will be searching for an actual lost city this time.

After Yamada’s Treasure, it is time to get a bit more serious, picking up on writing the second book in the Peter Prins series. Some spoilers: the villain will be an Indian tech mogul this time, and we will be going back in time another 800 years or so.
Friday 5pm in Thailand, almost beer o’clock

One part of next year goals already partially achieved. First cut Dutch translation with a thorough spelling and grammar check of my book Yamada’s Treasure completed. Pretty pleased so far.
Still a proper good reread needed to iron out little inconsistencies, etc. but getting there.
To the whole #writerscommunity and #readerscommunity, still a Merry Christmas and the best wishes for 2026! May it be a productive year! I hope to finish part 2 in my Peter Prins series before end of the new year and release a Dutch translation of Yamada’s Treasure within 2-3 months. What about you?
Must have been a good boy. Better late than never, but Santa seems to have decided to leave a bunch of promising 5 ★★★★★ star reviews for Christmas on Amazon for my adventure thriller Yamada’s Treasure!

★★★★★ New Author For My Library: “…this book had me hooked from just the prologue. There is so much to enjoy in this book, from action adventure to a little bit of mystery. This is a book that will keep you guessing. The world building is exquisite.” www.amazon.com/dp/B0FNVWJMDR
That’s better!
Although I prefer to blast it on the home hi-fi, some nice entertainment at work: Jeff Wayne’s - War of The Worlds. Never looked at it as a musical. It feels more like a super enhanced audiobook far ahead of its time. What would H.G. Wells have thought of this?

Where is the cake?
“Find a #subject you care about and which you in your heart feel others should care about. It is this genuine caring, not your #games with #language, which will be the most compelling and seductive element in your #style.” — Stephen King
