My novel, 22 Ways A Nonfiction Portrayal, is a completely true story of my life. Throughout the book, I re-live my lifetime of working 22 entirely different jobs. I wrote about encounters I faced working in each job. Some of the 22 jobs and professions include work in oil refineries, hospitals, nuclear pipe sales, retail stocker, day laborer, teacher, digital artist, and househusband to name a few. Situations present during the time of each job created great hilarity, and some great danger. Shared with the reader is a tremendous variety of education I learned from each. Presented are events and many personal interactions over those years, again each its own true story. Graciousness from the Lord in my adventurous life, I profess with my salvation and faith in Jesus Christ. Some incredible events never before told of myself become known. Welcome to reading about my unique education from working 22 diverse jobs. Also, enjoy the entirely true, entertaining adventures of my life. - Jim Padgett.
