—Stephen King

Ezekiel’s Prophesy Fulfilled

“With intelligent and effective insight Jan Hurst edited my novel, Ezekiel’s Prophesy Fulfilled. The improvements she proposed in the Christian novel helped lift the saga to a high professional level. Ms. Hurst presented her suggestions in a logical manner that made it easy to accept the vast majority of her ideas. She obviously invested a great deal of time and thought into her reviews. I would welcome her editing my next novel.”
