I'm SOOOOO excited and anxious! I just finished a biography of what Jesus has done for me since I was 22 years old. I'm now 55, almost 56, Lord willing. The title of the book is, "Looking Up When Your Circumstances Have You Down." It is a story of miracles and the sustaining power of Jesus Christ in my adult life as I was diagnosed with eight chronic illnesses, and cancer.
It also tells how God protected me through two failed marriages, and the miraculous change, by God, of my third and final husband! I wanted to give glory to God for all that He has done for me, and to tell the world that miracles do still occur, even when we as followers of Christ don't do the right things.
It should be out in a couple of weeks online. It's in a dummy cover right now as they finish things up, but you can find it at www.wordclay.com in their bookstore. I'm an RN, so this is my first attempt at writing. I have felt the need to do this for quite some time, but have not had the time to do it until now. I would love to hear from other writers.
Respectfully, Nanikj AKA K.J. Jacobs

It is such a thrill to know that the world is finally going to see your work.
I completed a 600 page novel about my ancstors and their antics in the 14th century. It is a serious historical work as well as action adventure and the rsearch and writing took 8 years of my life.
Then came thje hard part, persuading a publisher to take me on!
When nothing was forthcoming I decided to publish the work as an interactive cd-roim complete with sound effects and pictures.
At that, I got 'noticed' by a publisher and it came out as a 'real' book in 2004.
Congratulations to you, my biggest thrill was to see a copy on the shelf at my local library!

Thanks! I will check out your book as well. My book is supposed to be on Amazon.com and is supposed to be offered in the bookstores, but we will see how this all turns out. It's all so new to me. I am anxious to see it in my hand. It's not as long as yours, but it should be a good read. Nanikj
