So, last week on my social sites (Instagram and Facebook), I posted that I had an EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT. Well, that got folks fired up with all kinds of speculation, one even being that I possibly had a movie deal. I wish! Another friend asked, “A new book?”
Of course it’s a new book! And… drumroll please….
I’ve gone INDIE!
Introducing SAVING JIMMY: A Not-so-true Story of a Young Girl's Journey to the Afterlife
If given the option of heaven or earth, which would you choose?
From award-winning author Linda Williams Jackson (The Lucky Ones and Midnight Without a Moon) comes a whimsical tale of a young girl's journey to the afterlife. With a touch of fantasy, a dash of Shakespeare, and a hint of Ebenezer Scrooge, Saving Jimmy is sure to be a hit with fans of Heaven is for Real and The Five People You Meet in Heaven.
Life isn’t easy for 12-year-old Jimmy Lee Easton. Besides people constantly mistaking her for a boy, her mama hovers over her like the Secret Service. Her great-aunt constantly hounds her to “get it right with Jesus before it’s everlastingly and eternally too late.” And she’s not so sure whether her best friend really likes her or if she simply lets her tag along out of pity. But when Jimmy Lee suddenly finds herself facing eternity with a life-or-death choice to make, she questions whether her life on earth was so bad after all.
I would LOVE your support—whether you purchase a copy (OR FIVE!) or simply give me a shout out. Saving Jimmy is available both as an e-book and in paperback. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CTG421ST

And, after you’ve enjoyed the book, a review would be GREATLY appreciated!
Shout out to my daughter Chloe who designed the cover. When she saw what I initially had in mind (I won’t show y’all), she asked, “Can I design you a cover that’s more like Midnight Without a Moon?” Of course I said yes! And I must say (even though I’m her mom) that she did a pretty good job.
And…
Jimmy Lee looks pretty cool hanging out with Rose Lee and Ellis Earl. (We Southerners surely do love using middle names!)
Happy reading, y’all!
So fantastic! Congrats Linda! A wonderful achievement. I'm considering going indie myself with many projects on the backburner. Wishing you success!
This is so exciting! It sounds terrific and I can’t wait to read 🙌🙌🙌
