One month...or so since I have last posted

Wow...School has really just kicked my ass this semester. Not like in a "I made bad grades thing"...I have done well but just A LOT OF WORK....

However, I have two new projects I am working on.

1- The first is not really a new project, however, for my Book on Dr. Baker I have been suggested by a few students to apply for a project grant from UCO. It is only about 500 dollars, but it would cover travel costs back and forth from Eureka Springs and OKC for a few trip. For those of you who don't know, Having grown up with Acute Lymphatic Lieukemia and having survived it, I am constantly on the lookout for anything pertaining to Cancer. Dr. Norman Glenwood Baker was a "Doctor" in the 1930s who, with the verifications of several people had found a cure for skin cancer. The AMA was not convinced however and arrested him and he served five years in Leavenworth, Kansas.
His fame of being a celebrated Cancer Cure doctor was turned to quack charlatan and his cure was stolen by Harry Hoxsey. This man deserves to be recognized for his efforts and I intend to do just that.

2-Fiction Novel.
It does not have a name yet however it is a espionage novel, "ironically" centered at the Crescent Hotel in 1938. Bridgette McKay, brunette and olive skinned finds herself having lost the tracks of The Focks, a rival of her boss (The Copperhead) and as such is unhappy and lost in the Ozark mountains. A doctor, Dr. Glenn (hehe), offers her a job at the hospital, which she accepts; she is tired of the spy life. Bridgette McKay, agent name The Sparrow, has no idea that Dr. Glenn really is Norman Focks. And neither of them have any idea that an agent, working for the copperhead, is in their vicinity. And he knows who they both are and he is not under anyone's agenda but his own. And he serves the Copperhead totally and completely.

So we will see how that pans out.

On another note, I will be starting Spanish 3 in the Spring. *DEEP BREATHS* I am soooo excited to continue to get more fluent, but wow...this is getting scary. At least I have Melissa coming with!
