Kathy J. Jacobson, who serves as pastor at Peace-Bethlehem Lutheran Parish of Cobb and Edmund and Castle Rock Lutheran Church, rural Fennimore, recently published her inspirational fiction novel,  NOTED!

            NOTED! is the story of Jillian Johnson, a nurse in Wisconsin, who seeks to make a new start in a new place at the beginning of a new year. She takes a “day job” that will help her “save her brain” for her true passion of writing. On her first day on the job, she finds herself unexpectedly confronted with a piece of her past. It will take every ounce of patience, and faith, for Jillian to get through the coming year.

Kathy is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Wartburg Theological Seminary in Dubuque. She has worked counseling troubled youth, has been an at-home Mom, a church youth worker and Christian education coordinator, worked in campus ministry, and for the last twelve years, has served in rural parish ministry. In addition to her work in the church, she volunteers as a hospice chaplain for Upland Hills Hospice.  She and her husband, Jeff, lived in Platteville for sixteen years before recently moving to Dodgeville. They are parents of three children, all “twenty-something.” Kathy is an avid traveler, having visited forty-nine states and five continents, with most memorable trips to Papua New Guinea, the Holy Land, and Tanzania, East Africa. She enjoys music, theater, reading, biking, walking and hiking, but writing is her passion.
