A 2018 Golden Heart® finalist in contemporary romance, G.L. Jackson lives in the Seattle area with her family and pets. Although born in New York City and raised in beautiful southern Connecticut, she prefers the west coast where everyone gets to be called "dude."

I usually get some sort of insight into the character before I get an insight into the plot. Usually the character is enough to go on, so I close my eyes and start writing and see what happens. Once in a while, that works and I find something worth pursuing.

Holding onto the details of the story idea is very much like waking from a dream. I can see snippets but not the whole picture. I never see the whole picture until the story unfolds as I write it. I work more coherently if I'm able to outline the whole thing, but that doesn't seem to be my lot in life very frequently.

As far as character names go, there's no real process to it. I usually have a visual in my mind of what the character looks like, and the name tends to follow along quite readily. When I'm struggling to name a character, it's a sign that I might not be ready to write about them yet.(less)

I was fortunate enough to read an advance copy of A GIRL, STUCK and absolutely gobbled it up. Harry is now and will forever be one of my favorite fictional PIs. There's a great balance between funny and serious, and this book has a ton of heart. Ther ...more
