Jacqueline writes touching, emotionally bold stories about everyday heroines and heroes with lives and loves that everyone can relate to.

Although she's been dabbling with writing from the day she read her first Nancy Drew mystery, she didn't get serious about pursuing a publishing career until about 10 years ago.

Besides the two grown children whom she adores, and her long, long marriage to the gorgeous man of her dreams, her proudest acheivements are the two Golden Heart wins she's received out of her five Golden Heart nominations.

Currently in search of a literary agent and a publishing contract, she'd love to abandon her day job and devote herself to writing full-time.
