30 August 2012 - I'm trying out Twitter

@DavidHTroyer is my Twitter handle. I just started tweeting about a week ago. I will continue my blog, but I plan on tweeting a lot more often because I can tweet from my phone. Work is going to be busy for a little while, but that is ok. It will still be a lot of fun.
Since my last post, I put my book I'd Choose a Fish on Youtube.com

Happy Labor Day! If you  get a day off, I hope it is a good one.

Facebook is still the best way to keep in touch with me or to find out what is going on with my career. www.facebook.com/davidhtroyer

24 JULY 2012 - All three books on Amazon

All three of my books are now on Amazon.com. Tracts and Evangelism is on Amazon as a Kindle download as well.
www.amazon.com/author/davidhtroyer

The second edition of I'd Choose a Fish is now available. It has a new layout and a better binding. This book is about a young boy and his dad as they venture through the pet shop. As they go through the store, the little boy imagines what it would be like to own each pet. In the end, the boy makes his decision and is very happy. One of my favorite pages is the one with the text "There's not much harm a cat can do." You'll see what I mean when you check it out.

 I really enjoyed writing this book and hope to add more books to this series in the future. It is based on my childhood experiences with my own dad and the trips to the pet shop which I enjoyed so much.

My wife, Dianna and I are currently working on a book together. So far, we have around 45,000 words.

Also, I am up to 150 "Likes" on my Facebook page now - Thank You :)

02 JULY 2012 - Happy Fourth of July!

The Fourth of July is only a few days away. I hope that everyone has a great time!

I'd Choose a Fish is now in its second edition! It has updated information and an improved format!
You can order this book, or download it for free at http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/davidhtroyer 

I am currently checking into other publishing options which would allow me to sell my books for a lower price. Please check back for updates!

Please like my Facebook page at www.facebook.com/davidhtroyer I currently have 146 likes, but would love to see that number grow.

Also, Dianna and I have been working on a book together. We have around 30,000 words so far! Sadly, we have a long way to go, but this book is a lot of fun and I hope that you will enjoy reading it when it is finished.

As always, I am still writing poems. I may put some of them into another poetry book, but I will have to wait until I have enough of them.

Please continue to check back and to tell your friends about my books.

27 MAY 2012 - In The Army Now

All throughout my training, they told me that the "real Army" is nothing like Basic Training and AIT. This is true. Instead of testing you at every turn, people actually try to help you to be all that you can be by helping you to accomplish the tasks you are assigned.

This is my first four-day weekend since I made it to my first duty station. It is wonderful. The church that I go to had some special Memorial Day events as well.

Please become a fan on Facebook if you have not become one already. Just search for David H. Troyer.

After putting it away for a while during our move and our time of getting settled in, Dianna and I are working on our book again. I hope to have news to report on this again soon. Currently, we have about 15,000 words.

Thank you for checking back and I hope to have more updates soon.

15 January 2012 - My first 4-day weekend

Today is a good day. I finished the first chapter in the book that my wife and I are writing together. I am still in Army AIT (Advanced Individual Training) far away from her, but at least we can talk on the phone, email, and skype. In Basic Training, we had none of those luxuries.

I hope to continue to work on this book in between classes, communicating with family and friends, and spending time with my friends here at AIT.

I'll keep you informed to the progress of this book as well as the poetry book which I plan on publishing soon. It will have some of my favorite poems in it.

December 28, 2011 - Christmas Exodus

Graduation from Army Basic Training was on December 1st. I graduated as the Soldier of the Cycle which is a great honor. I am now enjoying time with my family while on Christmas Exodus but I will be going back to Advanced Individual Training soon. Throughout my training I have been writing and I look forward to publishing another book again soon. I hope that you had a Merry Christmas and that you will have a Happy New Year as well!

July20, 2011 - 2 months until Basic Training

I will be leaving for boot camp in September. I will be going active duty in the Army. My plans are to continue writing and to publish some more books after basic training.

I'll try to post another update or two before I go, but if not, I plan on giving updates once I am done with basic training.
