About Linds McDonald

Hello, there! There is not much to know about me, really, except that I am an aspiring writer. I am currently working on two projects. First, and foremost, I have been working away on my novel, currently titled "As Clay". My great-grandparents came to America from Ireland in the 1900s, and my strong Irish heritage has always interested me. "As Clay" is a fantastical but Christian tale of Irish history, and I hope, the first in a trilogy. (Planned titles are: "As Clay", "Burning", and "Vessel".)

Isaiah 64:8 Yet you, LORD, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand. 2 Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.
My less serious, but possibly more engrossing, project that I have been working on is, I am a little abashed to say, a fan fiction for Harry Potter. I know that it sounds completely juvenile, lol. But it is great fun, and a very productive learning experience. It's titled "Still I Rise" and is inspired by Maya Angelou's poem of the same name. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8387697/1/Still-I-Rise
