An old thread was revived and because it was I found your site and the poetry you have on here is so good. I'm glad Kevin Clark revived his thread.
I hope things have gone well for you with your book, seeing that you have been with PA for quite sometime.

Hi! Just wanted to pop in and thank everyone for taking the time to visit my site and sign my guestbook. Not only does my site contain information about my book(s) it also has information about Domestic Violence including a link to contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline directly. Remember: To hear silent voices is to end domestic violence forever. God Bless you all. Take care. 8)

God Bless You!
I am a director of domestic violence in Jackson County, Jefferson, GA. I love my job, mainly because it is so wonderful when you realize someone is a survival and that maybe another will live based on your story. I am a survivor and I know how hard it is to become a survivor. Again God Bless you! Diane

Jackie, your book sounds interesting. I know what you mean about not having to be abused yourself to feel the pain of abuse. Someone close to me was abused as a child it affects everyone around her. I also invite you to visit my site. www.TheILoveaMystery.com
and sign my guestbook as well.

Jacki, yours was one of the very first books and sites that I checked out when I first joined PA. I really thought that I had signed your guestbook back then, but obviously not. I'm glad things are continuing to build for you; keep it coming!

I wanted to congratulate you for your book. I purchased it and have to tell you that you have caught every emotion and abuse that so many people suffer everyday. I understand that your book is written as fiction but it seems so real. Thank you for taking the time to put the abuse in words. Best of luck.

Jacki, you have written a very stark look at a major problem. Hopefully your words can help even one person decide to get help before it is too late. Keep up the work, and I look forward to reading more from you!
