I am a list maker, I can’t help it – it just makes me happy. I live in eternal fear that I will miss something before I die. So here is the current “To Do” reading list. Maybe you will find something you want to read, and heck, I am always open to suggestions. The list has no limit on length.
I just finished the rough draft of my own first novel (1st of a trilogy). I am going to go ahead and write the other two books before I try and do anything with it. But hey, I wrote a novel – ~150,000 words – go me!
