Below, you'll find information about some of the as-yet unsold or unpublished projects I’m brainstorming on.
Coming soon!
Below, you can find out what I'm currently reading this year.
1) 1/1/12-1/5/12: Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling (Note: I re-read the Harry Potter Series about twice a year. I could hardly wait to start it again this year.)
2) 1/1/12-1/12/12: Ecclesiastes (in The Message Bible)
3) 1/5/12-1/9/12: Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling
4) 1/9/12-1/12/12: Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling
5) 1/12/12-?: Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling
6) 1/13/12-1/20/12: Song of Songs (in The Message Bible)
7) 1/18/12-1/21/12: Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling
8) 1/21/12-2/1/12: Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling
9) 1/21/12-?: Job (in The Message Bible)
10) 2/1/12-2/5/12: Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl (Note: Some friends of mine were in a play based on this book. After seeing it, I really wanted to re-read a book I’d first read when I was a kid.)
11) 2/5/12-2/14/12: One, Two, Buckle My Shoe by Agatha Christie (Note: My favorite mystery author and my all-time favorite sleuth, Hercule Poirot.)
12) 2/14/12-?: Nonprofit Kit for Dummies by Stan Hutton and Frances Phillips (Note: Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to do the necessary research while outlining DESTINY and so I’m doing it now. Grimace. I rarely enjoy reading nonfiction books.)
