Publication Date: October 9, 2008

THE CREATIVE EPIPHANY won a national honored FINALIST AWARD in the 2009 BOOK USA CONTEST in the category of non-fiction narrative. Jo Ann Brown-Scott and the gifted men and women who have contributed stories for this book all received a message that came to them in a Creative Epiphany; delivered from their angel in the darkness, their wisdom, their soul, jolting them forward toward more inspired creativity. They have beat unbeatable odds in order to live their life's longings, some battling overwhelming difficulties of their own making, with passion driving them toward greater self-knowledge and peace. Listening is the only requirement for hearing Epiphany's voice; audible as a whisper or shout in your mind's ear. Your well-being and balance are Epiphany's simple agenda; always guiding you wisely toward your truth. Epiphanies might come through an instantaneous flash of understanding during chaos or calm, or in a humble moment easily overlooked, or after years of unfolding. Always, an Epiphany is life-changing, bringing vivid realization and certitude. The illuminating insight gained from a Creative Epiphany will reassure you that in discovering your life's purpose you will reach fulfillment; finally understanding what your unique creative contributions must be here on earth. Read about them. Listen. Have one.

Creative Epiphany is an incredibly inspiring book, that gives a sneak peak into some of the most creative minds of today. Each story is a tale of the individual struggles in modern society to express individual perspectives through art. I admire the courage of each of the writers to reveal personal trials and heartbreaks to reach their enlightenment of purpose.

Jo Ann's introduction superbly defined the intent of the book and it immediately drew me in with chapters from 19 different and creative people. I knew in a moment that this book would speak to me and that my friend's recommendation would not be wasted. The first night I found myself searching for the ONE individually authored chapter that would best speak to my own inner voice. After several nights of skipping through the book, I was pleasantly surprised that I could identify with not one artist, but many artists because they truly shared some incredibly deep and personal stories. WOW! Yes, they are all artists in their own respect because they have allowed themselves to be creative. Most of the chapters I really liked and there were four that I absolutely LOVED; however, there were a couple of chapters that I was surprised were included in this compilation. One artist in particular, Adam Hand, I doubt has truly had his epiphany yet. Although he is no doubt an excellent artist (by his own admission), I believe he was miscast for this book and his arrogance continues even after his "epiphany." That chapter seemed forced. Adam would do well to take note of what the other authors convey in true and uncompromising modesty, especially Randy Pijoan's story. Powerful stuff in that one! The women authors in this book are truly inspirational and are among my favorites only because my inner voice resonates with many of those feminine stories. I am truly inspired and will read Jo Ann's first book now. Congrats to all of the co-authors for sharing very personal and introspective stories!!
