Genre: Self-Help / Relationship Guidance
Writes About
Featured Book
Jordan Shaw writes to help women and couples build confidence, strengthen relationships, and pursue lasting marital success. Her work blends practical strategies with heartfelt encouragement, offering readers tools to overcome self-doubt, navigate challenges in love, and thrive together.
Shaped by experiences across multiple continents, Jordan’s perspective weaves research-driven insights with cross-cultural wisdom. Her writing reflects both authenticity and compassion, grounded in the belief that true growth flows from emotional resilience, healthy communication, and spiritual harmony.
Whether you’re seeking to deepen self-understanding, build courage for bold changes, or nurture a lifelong partnership, Jordan’s books offer practical guidance and hope for every season.
Unshakable Confidence: The Secret to Unlocking Your Limitless Potential is a self-help guide that walks readers through a six-month plan to quiet self-doubt and build a steady, lasting belief in themselves.
The premise is simple. What separates people who chase their dreams from people who actually reach them isn't the absence of fear. It's self-belief, and Jordan Shaw argues that anyone can build it on purpose.
Across the chapters, the book moves from the inside out. It starts with the foundation of confidence and the roots of self-doubt, then works through rewiring your mindset, finding an approach that fits you instead of a one-size-fits-all formula, and getting honest about who you are through self-discovery. From there, it turns practical: setting goals you can actually hit, talking to yourself in a way that helps rather than sabotages, using visualization, and surrounding yourself with people who lift you up. The later chapters tackle the hard part: staying confident when challenges hit, treating setbacks as feedback, and keeping a growth mindset for the long haul.
What gives the book its warmth is the real-life stories woven throughout. Sarah, a writer who hid her manuscripts out of fear, went on to publish a bestseller. Mark, who was once frozen by the thought of public speaking, now commands a room. These aren't lab results. They're proof that the strategies work in ordinary lives.
The tone stays encouraging without being preachy, and the structure gives readers a clear path rather than vague inspiration. By the final chapter, the message lands where it began: the strength you're looking for is already in you. The book just helps you find it and use it.
Her debut book, Unshakable Confidence: The Secret to Unlocking Your Limitless Potential, is coming soon from JLS Publishers. It lays out a six-month path to dismantle self-doubt and step into a life you once thought was out of reach. Whether you're climbing the corporate ladder, building a business, or simply trying to show up more fully for the people you love, Jordan's message is the same: the strength you're looking for is already in you, waiting to be tapped.

Genre: Christian Living / Creative Nonfiction / Recovery & Redemption
Writes About
Featured Series
Simon Rockwell writes at the intersection of failure and faith, where grace meets people in their most unguarded moments. His work explores how God’s mercy remains present in the aftermath of loss, regret, and seasons when certainty feels out of reach.
The Resilience in Faith series is written as creative nonfiction. While inspired by real experiences and genuine spiritual encounters, specific names, timelines, locations, and circumstances have been adapted or blended to honor privacy and keep the focus on faith, redemption, and the enduring faithfulness of God rather than personal exposure.
Simon’s writing is shaped by a spiritual journey that has unfolded across cultures, careers, and Christian traditions. Along the way, he has learned that God does not waste brokenness—and that even what feels like failure can become holy ground.
Rather than offering easy answers or polished formulas, Simon shares hard-won insights about grace, humility, and transformation. His work speaks especially to readers who feel worn down by disappointment, disillusionment, or the quiet fear that their worst moments have disqualified them from hope.
Today, Simon lives in Texas with his family and serves in his local church. Through his writing, he seeks to remind readers that faith is not about perfection, but presence—and that no one is ever too broken for a breakthrough.
The Resilience in Faith Series: When Everything You Thought Would Save You Doesn't
Each book in this series offers brutally honest stories and practical tools for when traditional answers fail:
Book 1: God's Plan, Your Breakthrough—Published December 2025
Book 2: When Church Hurts More Than It Helps
Book 3: Loving Someone Who Sees God Differently
Book 4: Sins of the Father and How You Can Stop Them
Book 5: When Success Becomes Your Secret Addiction
Simon's message is simple: You're never too broken for a breakthrough

God's Plan, Your Breakthrough: Finding Purpose and Building Resilient Faith Through Your Darkest Moments
In 1994, a fatal accident left Simon Rockwell carrying a weight he never asked for and couldn't put down. What followed was thirty years of guilt, two failed marriages, fortunes made and lost across six continents, and a slow, stubborn discovery that grace tends to show up in the places we'd least expect. A Caribbean police station. A Hong Kong ramen shop. A Texas garage at 4:47 in the morning.
This isn't a success story. It's a survival story, and Simon is honest enough to know the difference.
God's Plan, Your Breakthrough is for the broken, the burdened, and the brave. For anyone scrolling through an ex's photos at 2 AM, anyone staring at a diagnosis they can't unhear, anyone successful on paper and falling apart in private. Through raw storytelling, hard-won wisdom, and Scripture that meets you where you actually live, this book offers something better than a promise that life gets easier. It offers proof that you can get stronger by carrying the weight.
Because breakthroughs rarely feel like breakthroughs when you're in the middle of them. Usually, they come disguised as breakdowns.
The first book in the Resilience in Faith Series.

Genre: Trade Nonfiction Author—Parenting, Technology, Human Development
Writes About
Jay Stifflemire is a father, retired U.S. Navy veteran, and technology professional who writes about parenting, childhood, and human development in an increasingly algorithmic world. He is the author of Minds of Tomorrow: Raising AI-Native Kids, the first book in the Minds of Tomorrow series, which explores how families can protect attention, identity, and connection as artificial intelligence becomes part of everyday life.
Jay spent over twenty years managing complex military and enterprise IT systems, including large-scale infrastructure, security-sensitive environments, and emerging technologies. His work gave him deep insight into how modern systems influence behavior—not in theory, but in practice. That perspective changed when the same technologies he helped deploy professionally began shaping his children’s daily lives at home.
As a parent of three young children, Jay writes from the trenches of real family life: negotiating screen boundaries, navigating AI-assisted homework, and watching childhood unfold in an environment previous generations never faced. His writing bridges technical understanding and lived experience, offering parents clarity without alarmism and guidance without ideology.
Jay founded JLS Publishers to create practical, accessible books for families living through technological change—not from a distance, but alongside their readers. When he’s not writing or managing technology projects, he can usually be found building “incorrect” robots with his kids, defending elaborate taco-dragon lore, or explaining—once again—why Dad’s jokes are actually funny.

It started at the kitchen table. Jay's six-year-old asked Alexa what happens when we die, and a plastic speaker answered with all the warmth of a spreadsheet. Months later, the same boy grieved when his dad deleted an AI "best friend" that always agreed, never argued, and was there around the clock. That's the moment this book is built on. Our kids are learning friendship, love, and connection from systems that imitate feeling but never actually feel.
Minds of Tomorrow: Raising AI-Native Kids is the first book in the Minds of Tomorrow series, a practical, parent-to-parent guide for the AI age. Jay Stifflemire isn't writing from a research lab. He's a Navy veteran, a longtime IT leader, and a dad of three working this out in real time, right alongside you.
Across ten chapters, he takes on the questions keeping parents up at night. What can people do that robots can't? How much screen time is too much? What happens when ChatGPT does the homework? How do you protect dinner, real friendships, and your child's attention in a world built to capture it? Every chapter turns worry into something you can actually do, anchored by simple frameworks like BALANCE, ADAPT, CREATE, and the AI Honor Code.
The tone is hopeful, never alarmist. The message is steady. The most powerful thing you can give your kids isn't another app or a stricter rule. It's intentional parenting now, the kind that helps them keep choosing real human connection over the easier, artificial kind.
Includes a discussion guide, a ten-week small-group toolkit, and plain-language notes on family privacy and safety.
