Jackie knew she wanted to write when a high school English teacher scolded her for writing a book report on a banned book. Jackie didn't know the book had been banned -- or even that books COULD be banned.

Now she does it all: fiction & nonfiction, 21 books & hundreds of magazine pieces, for kids, teens and adults. For 15 years she taught writing courses for the Institute of Children's Literature. Her early writing career began in Washington, DC, at the White House Correspondence Section -- answering the President's mail.

Jackie lives in the Finger Lakes wine region of upstate New York, deep in the woods where mushrooms form fairy circles.

I wrote First Girl Last based on my own experience working at the White House in Washington, DC, answering the POTUS's mail. One letter had a cryptic message from someone claiming to be a secret relative made pregnant by ETs. Couldn't resist this weird plot. Would love for you to read it & tell me what you think. Reality or delusion?(less)

“Book collecting is an obsession, an occupation, a disease, an addiction, a fascination, an absurdity, a fate. It is not a hobby. Those who do it must do it.”
Jeanette Winterson

“The truth is life is full of joy and full of great sorrow, but you can't have one without the other.”
Andre Dubus III, House of Sand and Fog

“Don't wait for a light to appear at the end of the tunnel, stride down there and light the bloody thing yourself.”
Sara Henderson
