IRENE’S PROJECTS:

I have researched the background for three books that I am currently working on. They have been somewhat neglected over the past five years, but I am hoping to get back to them and published in the near future.

ËËËËËËËËËËËËËË

I have begun getting this book ready for publication. (Still on my desk)
