Death. Infidelity. Public humiliation. In the aftermath the future looked pretty bleak, but somewhere in this terrible mess there had to be goodness. Life after death. Love after betrayal. Beauty from ashes.

After living two years in the land between what had happened and what was yet to come, Jackie and her husband recently relocated from an agricultural town in Arizona to Southern California. Back to the place she and her husband, of nearly three decades, call home.

Jackie writes nearly everyday, stretching herself between fiction, memoir blogging, and her collegiate Creative Writing classes. She is currently working with Kharis Publishing for the 2016 release of her fictional manuscript, Where the Water Rages, a novel. She speaks publicly when the Lord opens the door, and non-stop when she's with her closest few.

Do not despise the small beginnings for the eyes of the Lord rejoice to see the work begin --Zechariah 4:10
