RESEARCH

TRANS FIGURING IVAN has a sister on the WAY. When is the question?

That my dear friends is What we have been working on for days...and days. Do not get me wrong. We are not weary. It is only that another novel - a murder-mystery - has come on the scene as well.

Research is totally involved work. Cocoa Florida is the setting for the mystery.

The second in the Trans Figuring Ivan series is being written. Some have said they did not get all the symbolism in the first novel. The second read is often more enjoyable than the first. Look for the references to other written works. All the basic world views are there - represented in the characters.

Meeting Jerry B. Jenkins

"Left Behind" - well, not really. We had the real pleasure of listing to and meeting with the author in person this past Sunday. Jerry B. Jenkins was our guest speaker in Oviedo, Florida. He is with Christian Writers Guild, and was a guest of Word Weavers, a local critique group.

I have read the books and watched the movie as most of you have. Like so many of us say, "Read the book, saw the movie, and the book was better." Most avid readers say things like this about most literary works that go on to become movies.

Let me assure you, meeting Jerry in person was much better than reading him. What a wonderful human being. He gave us his best in speaking, and then he gave every one that attended his book, "Writing For The Soul".

March is a very busy month with the annual Mosquito Beaters Gathering in Cocoa. People come from all around the world to this event. Cocoa Space Coast workers, High School grads, etc. for an excellent reunion. There is the Brevard County YMCA Prayer Breakfast in Viera, FLorida. Then there is the Exchanged Life Conference and Solomon School in Pigeon Forge, TN, just to name a few events.

Research and interviews are being done on the two novels. Book two of the Trans Figuring Ivan series will be out in 2012, Lord willing, for you that have been asking. Cocoa Cold Case is progressing as well.

You are invited to join others that have read Trans Figuring Ivan and want to do a review on Amazon.
Thank you. Keep looking up...

Happy 2010 New Year!

It is here! 2010 has finally arrived and we are happy to welcome it. Putting those things behind us that were a hindrance, and taking up those things that can be a blessing we run this year's race.

We trust that this will be your best year yet. Look without and then look within and see all that can be done. There is much to do and with a little help from our friends we can go a long way. As we receive blessings this year, let us pass them on and be a blessing to someone each day. Look especially to "the least of these".
