J. F. Ziegler

At an early age J. F. Ziegler showed an eagerness to write down her thoughts and feelings. She was on the school newspaper staff in middle school. She took advanced literature and creative writing classes in high school. Often, her writing was read out loud to the class as an example of excellent work.

College writing was more technical as papers involving each subject were required.

In her early twenties J. F. realized that "things" did not bring her the happiness and peace of mind she was seeking.

In 1983 she made her first trip to India and soon was a devoted student of eastern philosophy. This study brought the long sought answers she had been seeking. Since that time she has traveled to India on many occasions. She continues today to work on her self in hopes she can love all and serve all.

J. F. Ziegler has written and self-published two children's metaphysical fairytales.

Her latest writing, EARNEST SEEKER is a metaphysical tale told in rhyme about the great adventure of death. The story touches all ages as we each face death because we are born. Death decides to take a vacation because for centuries he has been misunderstood. The earth begins to suffer without death and is overrun with all living matter. Earnest learns many lessons as death takes him on a journey "one of a kind". He begins to understand the body is the dress of the soul and death is not to be feared. Through a series of talks with death, Earnest begins to accept death as his friend and starts to lose his fear of the unknown. Death shows Earnest what happens to the earth when "he ceases to be". Earnest uses modern technology to twitter, blog and tweet to educate all the world on the necessity of death. With wit and wisdom our hero Earnest finds a way to get Death to go back to work and saves the world.
