While raising four children she got her degree in accounting in Houston Texas. As an accountant, she worked in the oil industry and the hospitality industry. When she got tired of counting beans, she and her husband transferred to Vail, Colorado where she was resident manager for a resort hotel for ten years. The Rocky Mountains were the inspiration for her first novel, Blood Secrets, published January 2007.
Through the years, Jacqueline has owned her own accounting practice, an antique shop, a thriving cleaning service in Vail, and a Mexican Import store in California. She has traveled to Canada, Hawaii and Mexico. She's lived in California, Colorado, Texas and Florida. Through it all, she has always had one passion--writing.
She has many works in process, among them a Civil War novel, a Time Travel, and a unique book of recipes called Recipes Straight from Mother's Head, which will be finished by next summer. She also has a Free Inspirational Writer's Workshop available on her website.
She loves to go to garage sales, read, collect old books, work in the yard, barbeque with the family, and write-write-write. She desires to write books like Calendar Girls, The World According to Garp, and The Scarlet Thread. She wishes she had a mind like Stephen King, or Randy Ingermanson, which know no bounds. She loves almost every kind of music except Rap and beat your head against the sidewalk Rock and Roll.
She is a wife, a mother of four, grandmother of nine, great-grandmother of two. She has a dog who loves her no matter what she does or says—or what she looks like. She's the Director for the Children's department and writes a Newsletter for her church and articles for the web, but mostly she sticks to writing fiction.
With every book she writes, it is her ambition to grow and be faithful to her readers. She aspires to give them an entertaining story that will dazzle and provide honest and thoughtful information to keep them coming back for more. Above all, she is a Christian writer, and her faith guides her pen.
