I love to read and I love books. Working in a library makes it hard to whittle down my "To Be Read" shelf. I just keep adding to it! I love murder mysteries and historical fiction. I am also a self-help addict and a history buff.

    Hello, Fran. I’m the author of The Sandal Maker, a new novel about the public ministry of Jesus from a unique point of view, a little controversial at times, but you will see him as never before. It’s a story that will take you on a fascinating journey in first century Galilee. Have you ever wondered what is was like to live in those times? What part did women play in his ministry? Was he the first feminist? Were the miracles real? Why did Judas betray the Master? How does the gospel of Jesus compare to the gospel according to Peter and Paul? This is a “must read” for those on a true spiritual quest. You can read reviews at Amazon.com. I’m including a link to copy and paste. Let me know what you think.

    Hi Fran, are you still working nights? I have changed my Theology group if you would like to be an administrator let me know. Here's the info. I have changed the name of our group from Theology Forum to Walking With Jesus. I wanted a more loving , caring and sharing group. I would like for us to talk about Christian books that have helped us through good times and bad. I hope you will come visit. You are already a member. The avatar is a log cabin with snow listed with your other groups. Merry Christmas, Doylene

    Hi Fran, let me know how you enjoy Clapton's book. I love his music but threw in the towel on the book. I just could not get into it.

    Thanks Fran, I have posted my books. I will post a synopsis for "The Bluegrass Dream" the first day of April. I will have my ISBN number at the end. Thanks for your help and if you need someone after August I would be glad to do "Natchez Above the River" or my new one that should be out by then, "Four Long Years."

    I see in the discussion "getting to know you" we have some things in common. All of us girls were in the 4H. I was the sewing county champion one year and was asked to be in the "Ky Style Show" at UK . It was a fun week. I do all kinds of neddle work. I am into piecing quilts but I have them quilted. I am working on three right now when I watch TV.

    I have a goal to complete all of the projects that I have started in the next couple of years. I weave baskets. It had been eight years since I had made one. Two years ago I took what supplies I had here to the Lake and made several that summer. I plan to make baskets in the summer until my supplies are gone.

    Have a Great Week!

    Fran, Could you give me some information on what I need to do. Do I post a synopsis or why I chose to write a novel about KY. Since there is another discussion for March would you rather that I do it in April. Any time is good for me. I assume you would like "The Bluegrass Dream" which is about early KY rather than "Natchez Above The River" which is a Civil War novel. Thank you, Ruth T.

    Dear Fran, I received your request to discuss my book in March. And I responded thanking you and asking what I needed to do. This is all new to me. I had not heard anything. I see there is another discussion for March so I tried to find my responce on your posts. I don't see it. I assume I did something wrong and it did not post. I will be glad to do it any time. April, May June are good. I am very sorry for the mix-up. Ruth T.

    "I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities."
