The Healing With Words Owners are the co-Hosts/co-HBIC who run the event.

L to R : Bree, Jillian, Melinda, and Angie

Hi, I’m Jillian Jacobs aka Green Moose Productions —a once-active author of romantic suspense and paranormal romance, with 11 books under my belt. These days, though, I’m more of a reader than a writer. Honestly, I don’t have plans to dive back in anytime soon.

I love stories with a healthy dose of angst and a satisfying happily ever after. I growl at cliffhangers. I’ve been on a suspense kick lately, and I’ll mix in a little classic literature here and there when the mood strikes.

Beyond books, I’m one of the founding members of Writers on the River and Healing with Words. By day, I work for a nonprofit called Universal Cares, and I live in Indiana with my three one-year-old cats who keep life full of floating cat hair. I’m also the proud mom of my son Jacob, who recently got engaged to Gillian – with a G.

Coffee, polish pottery, home renovations, dry red wine, true crime podcasts, books, and a fresh set of nails are essentially all I need – other than my husband, Jeremy. He’s nice to have around.

Share any recent reads with me. I love to know what people are reading.

Hi. I am Angie.  I am a Parent Educator in my full time job.  I am a huge reader and run a book blog.  My favorite things to read are MC, Paranormal, and dark.

I love to spend time with my 3 dogs, bougie cat, and the love of my life, Brian, who is a big helper behind the scenes at the event.  WE have 2 kiddos.  One works the raffle room event day and the other is at home with my 1st grandbaby.

Disney is my favorite place in the world and if I can make a trip happen I do!!  Thankfully my husband is a big Disney fan as well so he is always onboard for the impromptu trips.

Hello I’m Melinda and I am married to a wonderful guy that puts up with my book addiction. I have a teenage daughter who is usually floating around the event seeing if the authors need anything. We also have two dogs a 2 year old golden doodle and a 12 year old Chihuahua.
