Miriam L. Jacobs, better known as Inspirational_Mimi, is making a tumultuous presence both in print and online. But more importantly, her readers and fans love her, and her work. Much is to be appreciated; Jacobs is a master of several literacy genres and the author of ten books including, Illuminations: Poetic Inspiration, Embracing Candace, My Name is Not Monkey Girl, and 25 Ways to make $125.00 or More After Dinner.
She has also penned How to Jump From a Ferris Wheel & Land on Your Feet, an empowering, ten-volume anthology series. The books are a multi-author anthology with a theme of, "From tragedy, to triumph."
In March, 2007, Mimi launched her highly-acclaimed independent publishing company on a shoestring budget, and in a make-shift small office in her living room. The name was contrived as a tribute to her two granddaughters, Candace and Alyse. Her enthusiasm has helped her shape her branding and build a dynamic team around her including an editor, proof reader, illustrator, and full-time publicist. In just one month, Candalyse Publishing more than quintupled in size, and tripled its revenue.
Mimi is a life-time New Yorker and has the accent to prove it. She currently resides in the beautiful Catskills region with her husband, Charles, her granddaughter, Candace, and their pets.
"The Lord is the ruler of my life and He revealed my purpose after Candace was born. Everything that I do and everything that He leads me to is to promote tolerance and encourage parents to teach our children- our future- the basic fundamentals of humanity."
