Award-finalist Jackie was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and is an outdoor enthusiast. When not working or writing, she'll be striding around the countryside with her partner and their characterful Miniature Schnauzer, running or planning an adventure.
Jackie writes the Greek-based Apokeri Bay series which was born out of a recurring dream about a feisty female protagonist who unexpectedly falls in love with a quaint Lefkada fishing village full of secrets and ends up with some of her own.
In her entertaining page-turners, 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 her characters don't have 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.
