MISSION: THAILAND SLIDESHOW

ABOUT ME:
I'm a lifelong avid reader who wasn't content to stop there. I had to scratch out some of those stories buzzing around my brain. And by God's grace, someone saw fit to publish them!

My first and only marriage is still going strong after twenty-seven years. We have four kids who've pretty much flown the coop, though they do flutter home to roost pretty often. Our first grandchild is due any day. When she's born, I'll post pictures. We enjoy the slower pace of life in rural Minnesota--no lines at the post office and no traffic jams!

I like to give stuff away, so if you hop on over to my web site's Stealth and Wealth page, you can play a fun little art matching game for a chance to win a signed copy of my latest release. http://www.jillelizabethnelson.com/stealthwealth.shtml

Below is a video trailer for the second book in my To Catch a Thief series.

Abundant Blessings,

Jill
