Welcome to JACbooks!

I am a mother, wife, sister, teacher, artist, officer, reader, and writer. Most of my life leisure life has been spent reading books and dreaming up tales for myself or my kids, starting with drawing and writing comic books as a teen, short stories as a NA, children's books as a mom, and then novels! My biggest dream is to storyboard, write, and draw an original graphic novel...but that will need to wait for retirement.

At the moment, I am working on a cozy-type murder mystery collection called the SACTown Mysteries. Each tale is set in Sacramento, California.

For readers who prefer a bit of sci-fi, ghostly fun, and witchy mysticism, check out my recently released Trilogy. The Spectral books can be read as standalone tales, but they interweave to form a larger story arc

I reside in Northern California with my sweet husband of 25+years, my beautiful brainy daughters, a goofy Labrador, an angry bearded dragon, three frightened chickens, and a school of clueless fish.
