They've been together over 37 years and raised six children. Jean is a grandmother of eight, great-grandmother of one!

Five years ago, after foot surgery, her sister, Lori suggested she get Ace of Hearts down, do some editing and see if it would fly. Jean printed several copies of her manuscript and attended the National Book Club Convention handing out her manuscripts to a room full of Zane fans and soon book clubs were talking! She met her publisher, Diane Dorcé, of Firefly Publishing and Entertainment that weekend. Three months later, Jean signed a contract, went through the editing process one more time and Ace of Hearts was born!

The moral of Jean's story: NEVER GIVE UP YOUR DREAM.

Never What it Seems

Never What it Seems is the story of Dee Wellington and AJ Madison, two women who were born in Chicago, and much like the city; their lives are anything, but ordinary. Dee grew up in a dysfunctional household that by today’s standards would be considered completely ‘normal’. Trying to cope with life’s complexities, Dee contributes all of life’s changes to God’s will. Throughout the changes in her life, she resists the urge to disrupt the balance of things unless she really has to. On the other hand, there is AJ Madison who is a rambunctious, intelligent, and outgoing character who lives by her own standards and believes that you get what you give. Both, Dee and AJ grew-up trying to maneuver in systems created to breakdown the human spirit. Readers will find a familiarity in their struggles, their desires, and their will to overcome.

Speak Power, Speak Wealth, & Speak Freedom: Paradigm Processing - Tearing Down the Walls

I am on a mission to transform the paradigm of those who believe that the unbelievable cannot be achieved. I will help you tear down the walls between traditional, nontraditional and adult education, and its theoretical framework. I will provide a new approach to motivating growth through leadership, counseling, mentoring, and faithfulness. The plans I provide will help you address all issues that may have kept you from achieving your dreams, and your vision of a life of joy. Through my experiences, I will show you how to speak power, wealth, and the freedom that a life of living in joy provides.

The workbook is intended to be a guide to controlling your emotions, courage conviction, positive discourse, reflection, reciprocal learning, and philanthropy. The questions are of a mixed variety and difficulty. The answers to the questions are in you. I highly recommend that you work through these questions diligently; diagram, draw, label, and fill in the blanks when asked; write notes in the margins; take time to think; and share your visions with others. You will find that if you can draw, diagram, write, and say it, you know it and can achieve it. Try it. Most importantly, I know you will enjoy the learning of these principles in your endeavors to achieve a life of joy and victory.

But four years later, it seems their love never ended – to both of their surprises and denial. Sheila Rushmore is Ace’s current girlfriend and a woman who is used to getting what she wants – except Ace’s commitment to marriage. When Sheila realizes Lynette may be the cause, she launches a plan to play the hand of God, instead of allowing Him to bring the love all three of them desire.
