UPCOMING Published Projects These books are now almost printed and will soon be available for purchase. Enjoy! Twas' the Night Before Jesus - This Christmas coffee table book is being published by Westbow Publishing, an arm for Thomas Nelson Publishing in Nashville, Tn. Look for a copy at Amazon.com or barnesandnobles.com this Thanksgiving. I have always enjoyed the poem, "Twas' the Night Before Christmas." But, I wanted to find a Christmas poem about the coming of Jesus. I went online and I found "Twas' the Night Before Jesus Came." This poem, though was about the second coming and not about the nativity. So I began my search and found no poems in the style of "Twas the Night Before Christmas" with Jesus' birth as the focus. I created a poem. The poem is complete. Now I am working with a talented graphic artist, April Bensch, on creating a Christmas gift book. Minister: The Disposable Asset - The average stay for a minister at the typical church is only 18 months. A minister can barley know the first names of their members in that time. Why do ministers leave? What are the pressures and realities for ministers in today's churches. This book is for ministers who have had difficult experiences in churches, yet, it is also for church committees and deacons who are to be walking step in step with the ministers in ministry. This is an eye opening book. The Sunburn Tract - the title is "Time to Turn so You Won't Burn". This small tract is evangelistic in nature and is ready for resorts all over the world. Family Devotions - a 52-week devotional book with activities for the entire family. This is going to be a great addition to your devotional library. Back to the Basics Old Testament (Volume 1) - This Bible study is written for teenagers. It goes through the basic great stories of the Old Testament, up to the reign of Solomon. 40 Days With Jesus this DVD bible study centered on life lessons from Jesus during His 40 days of post-resurrection appearances. With over 120 pages we look forward to this study, with daily readings to be one of the most requested studies. You can purchase the DVD with a short stack of booklets (10) of several stacks for your churches and small groups. These items will be able to be picked up in the coming weeks from our resource page as well as Amazon.com and prayerfully, several bookstores like Lifeway Christian Resources and Zondervan Family Bookstores.
Completed Projects It is time to step out in faith and get my projects off the ground. EDEN - a major screenplay involving current events, intrigue, and a little sci-fi. I just completed this project. Query letters are circulating all around Hollywood. No bites, so I need to find a broker or agent. Jamie's Disney Reading Comprehension - This has been a fun project to work on. Our son is home-schooled and part of his work is reading stories and then answering questions about the story. I didn't care for some of the stuff he had to do, so I decided to combine stories based on something he already loves: Disney. Murder Mystery at the Planet - This interactive Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre has been designed and written for the Planet Hollywood franchise. We hopefully will open at the Myrtle Beach location in the near future. We have submitted the same proposal to Planet Hollywood International. Mystery of the Hysterical Society - This interactive Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre has been designed and written for any place with southern historical significance. We look forward to finding a location to perform this hilarious play. Be in prayer as we are negotiating at this time for a location. Back to the Basics Old Testament (Volume 2) - This Bible study is written for teenagers. It begins at the divided kingdom and goes through the time of silence before the New Testament. We include the minor prophets and all the incredible ways God revealed Himself through history and prophecy. We are proofing. Random Trivia - A game idea concerning random trivia. Excellent fun!

Almost Completed Projects Gen. Francis Marion: The Legend of the Swamp Fox - This major regional play is in the works and most of the research has been finished. The next task is finalizing the script. I'm making progress. A Christmas Carol - We have finished transposing the Dicken's Book into script form. Now we must edit the script to meet the demands of the stage. *A Christmas Carol has always intrigued me because I could not understand why Scrooge would make a 180 degree about-face after being shown his gravestone. We all know that the only sure things in this world are death and taxes. The Christian worldview in the play is unmistakable. We are bringing out the Christian aspects and look forward to producing this during the holiday season of 2012. P B&Jamie's - This is an idea for a food kiosk that serves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. We just finished festival season and got really, really tired of eating hotdogs. ;0 Drawings done, now it's off to production of a prototype. Every festival is going to want to have one of these selling peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

A Clean Slate - This fictional novel is a tense suspense adventure concerning the assassination of missionaries and church leaders around the world. Finished Chapter 1....excellent. On Chapter 3 now. This one is going to take some time because a novel is a different beast. (Pray that I can stay focused this project. Coming back weeks later plays havoc with continuity.) Life in a Wal Mart Bag - A funny look at our obsession with these little plastic necessities. We work in this project as inspiration hits us. Almost finished chapter 3.
NEW IDEAS Rearview Mirror - This suspense filled horror film has to do with an unsolved murder and the the reflections in the rear view mirror. Query letter finished. Must send letters off to agents.
