My Book

Do you want to hear something funny?
I am terrible at talking about my book.
I'm serious - I rarely tell anyone about it. Okay, here's how a conversation about my book goes:

"So, Jillian. I hear you've written a book?"
My face turns red. "Yes, I have."
Awkward silence. 
"Well, what's it about?"
Don't say it's a travel memoir...
"It's a travel memoir." 
*Insert long sigh.




So, yes, I suppose it's a travel memoir. But it's also a story about loss... and hope. It's a story about never giving up. It's the last ten years of my life, about leaving everything I knew behind to follow my heart. It's so much more than a travel memoir, but for some reason, I don't say that. Actually, for the most part, I don't say anything at all. God help me. 

Can I tell you something else? I'm terrified. I've given this book everything I have... what if everything isn't good enough? This is a game changer. No matter what, there's no going back now. My editor asked me this week, "What do you think, Jillian? Do you need more time, or is it ready? What does your gut say?"

And I knew the answer. Ready or not, it is time. I know it's time. I have come full circle.
  
"There are no other options but to follow my love, let go, and fall. So fall I will; I will dive fully into the depths of everything I am and morph into completely new dimensions. I will never be the same. Nothing will ever be the same. I’ve prayed and now it is time, time to let myself live this life I have fought so hard for. It is time to fly."  - Scared to Life

So here she is, my life in 375 pages. My book will be officially released into the world on March 31st. I hope you like it. ​

Is there a way to preorder this book or do we have to wait until the 31st March to order it off amazon?

Hi Abi! Sorry, I'm still in the stone-ages - am working right now on updating my site to include either a pre-order or an email notification for when the book is available. I'll put out a blog and tweet when it's up and running. Or I'm happy to send you an email as well :)

That's okay. I am just very impatient and can't wait to read your book! I will try and learn how to be patient I can't promise anything though. ;)
