My Library

In 2010 my goal was 30 books, allowing me more time for my own writing. That was easily completed but fell short of 2009′s 50 books.

For 2011, I will keep a goal of 30 books, but resolve to write more this year. ”On the Desk” will keep you advised what I’m planning on reading, so you can follow if you wish.

Use the Contact Me form with any recommendations or comments.  I’ll share them as we go along. Thank you.
