ALLi Author Member

Jackie was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and is an outdoor enthusiast. Living close to the banks of the River Tyne she is often found striding around the countryside with her partner and their extremely cute and characterful Miniature Schnauzer, pottering in their allotment, running or occasionally cycling. Over the years there have been many travelling adventures from far-flung destinations to close-by getaways.

After a twenty-year marketing career, Jackie took a leap of faith and embarked on a new life as a women’s contemporary fiction author. However, writing is not a new love, but an ongoing passion. The forthcoming Apokeri Bay trilogy was born from a recurring dream about a feisty female protagonist who unexpectedly falls in love with a quaint seaside village on the Greek island of Lefkada.

In her uplifting and thought-provoking writing, Jackie weaves in what we all love about great fiction – the chance to step into the world of somebody else and share in their story. But she certainly doesn’t give her characters an easy life. They must overcome family frictions, dark secrets, guilt and betrayal to discover life-changing friendships, love and hope. And ultimately, learn how to embrace and overcome everything life throws at them.
