Today we spoke with  S. D. Smith!  He is the author of The Green Ember Series, a bestselling middle-grade adventure saga. The Green Ember has reached hundreds of thousands of readers and spent time as the number one bestselling audiobook in the world on Audible. Smith’s stories are captivating readers across the globe who are hungry for “new stories with an old soul.”  It was such a pleasure speaking with Sam.  We are huge fans of his books and our kids (elementary age) hang on every word.  Getting to know him a little better through this conversation just solidified us as fans of him and his work.  He was such a funny, entertaining, and humble person that we will be life long readers of anything that he creates.   We hope you will be as well!  If you like what you hear and have enjoyed our show, please show your appreciation by subscribing to our Podcast and leaving us a review on your Podcast App of choice.We would love to hear from you so please email us with any comments or questions you have.Visit us and all of our content, including our blog, at www.thehomeschoolprojectpodcast.comAs always, let's Light A Fire They Can't Put OutThank you for listening!Show Notes:Sam's website - https://sdsmith.comTo receive The Green Ember audiobook (Book 1 in the series) for FREE- Free Audiobook - S.
