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...
