Stories have pretty much always consumed Annie's life. She enjoys films, devours books and can watch three full seasons of tv in a good four day weekend. This has given rise to the belief among her nephews that she is the foremost authority on all things super hero, fantasy and sci fi.

While she lived in LA she worked in tv and film production and, oddly enough, learned to write fairy tales. She began writing her own fairy tale because she still believes in a world of gallant heroes, where princesses are not frivolous things and honor is not for the faint of heart.

2024 retrospective

The beginning of 2024 feels like forever ago. Without true seasons to mark time, days blend together in a way that sometimes stretches and sometimes compresses years.

If this year has a theme, the one I give it is stories. The stories we tell ourselves and the stories I tell others (or will one day when they’re finally published–writing is hard and it’s also fun).

Year of

Living in the upper room. It

Quotes by Annie Jackson  (?)

“Fear, more than anything else, is the root of our destruction."

"Destruction?" Aribella asked with a hint of disbelief she didn't bother to hide. "How does one blazing summer herald the downfall of the kingdom?"

"Fear always leads to destruction. Whether it is today or in another ten years, it will come eventually.”
Annie Jackson, Tattered Heart

“Most of us know what we should expect to find in a dragon's lair, but, as I said before, Eustace had read only the wrong books. They had a lot to say about exports and imports and governments and drains, but they were weak on dragons.”
C.S. Lewis, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

“And then her heart changed, or at least she understood it; and the winter passed, and the sun shone upon her.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

“And he sang to them, now in the Elven tongue, now in the speech of the West, until their hearts, wounded with sweet words, overflowed, and their joy was like swords, and they passed in thought out to regions where pain and delight flow together and tears are the very wine of blessedness.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

“... the world can give you these glimpses as well as fairy tales can--the smell of rain, the dazzle of sun on white clapboard with the shadows of ferns and wash on the line, the wildness of a winter storm when in the house the flame of a candle doesn't even flicker.”
Frederick Buechner, Telling the Truth: The Gospel as Tragedy, Comedy, and Fairy Tale – A Fresh Look at the Many Dimensions of God and Humanity
