Hi, I’m Jackie. I write stories that contain humour and unexpected twists.
I used to be a high school biology teacher, which probably explains why science seems to sneak its way into so many of my stories.
I live in New Zealand with my husband, three children and a wide assortment of animals including cats, guinea pigs, quail, budgies and fish.
