I didn't know that, about you. Do you have anything yet published, if I may ask? Or, do you have a website or YouTube channel, or anything like that? I wish you all the best with your writing aspirations!
So far only my scientific papers and phd thesis. But the first shorter popular science work is being produced right now, and a full length textbook is in the last stage of corrections. A pop sci book on general relativity is supposed to follow next year. Unfortunately, while the scientific stuff is in English, the pop sci stuff so far is German only, although I intend to do translations.
