EJ Thornton has always been spiritual. Angel On Board 'happened to her' several years ago after some stunning events in her life. The character of Jeannie is modeled after EJ.
The writing of this book was inspired by real events in her life. During the period of the pregnancy of her son, Thornton felt an extra dimension of protection around her and her unborn child. The pregnancy was unexpected and the grandfather of the baby died just a couple of weeks before the child was conceived. Even though they had never met, the connection EJ Thornton felt with the baby's grandfather was unlike anything she'd ever experienced. Almost all of the human events in the book depict real events.
EJ Thornton is dyslexic and never aspired to be a writer, but this book kept pounding on the inside of her until she let it out. Angels definitely helped her author it and she has many, many stories to tell on that score.
Originally, this book was written to an audience of one, her alcoholic (now-ex) husband. He blamed his abuse of alcohol on his grief. She was certain that his angels were angered being held up as his excuse for his addiction. Luckily, God envisioned a much larger audience.
Quite unexpectedly, EJ started receiving letters from readers who had overcome incredible grief issues, just by reading the book. She holds these most precious letters close to her heart, for from these, she's realized the true audience for the book. It can be just a fun fiction read, but when it is in the hands of one who is grieving, it is truly an incredible comfort.
She never knew it was her destiny to write angel books, but... the angels have spoken!
EJ Thornton wrote the book, but she wants everyone to know that her angels helped every step of the way!
After authoring Angel On Board, EJ Thornton founded the publishing company Books To Believe In and she helps other authors with astounding experiences get their books into the hands of their waiting and eager readers.
