The Quick Version About Jackie Q.
A lover of sweet romantic comedy books, Jackie Q enjoys telling stories, asking God hard questions, and laughing with her family and friends. She lives in North Alabama with her amazing karate husband and three book-crazy children. She takes every opportunity to drink coffee while wearing dangly earrings and the color purple.
A Little More Detail
Jackie Q. grew up in a fun, snarky family with loving parents and is one of four sarcastic sisters. She loved watching old classic movies and reading tons of books, creating her own make-believe worlds. When life grew hard in her daily battle with debilitating migraines and depression, she found strength in her faith and refuge in stories. And as a moody reader she found that the pandemic not only transformed her reading habits, but also began to change her writing habits. Once she completed Rapunzel’s Journey, a fairytale retelling with epic young adult fantasy leanings, she pivoted to begin writing a sweet romantic comedy series about a quirky group of best-friends in a silly small town. Did being the oddball pastor’s wife living in a small Texas town for years greatly influence the series? We’re not saying for sure (wink, wink).
Though the date for the series release is still TBD, she is releasing a short teaser to fans here.
So far, the loose plans for the Love and Laughter series are (but remember, as a moody reader and author, all details are “loose” because they might change on a whim until they are published:
- Quirks and Quagmires of Love: Keisha and Caleb’s love story (free prequel novella coming soon)
- Abuelita’s Turn (FREE Teeny-Tiny Prequel available here)
- Design and Destiny of Love: Yolanda and Aaron’s love story
- Facts and Fictions of Love: Tess and Garrett’s story (pre-order here)
- Trials and Triumphs of Love: Juliana and Daniel’s story
- Mood and Momentum of Love: Marisol and hmmmm, a surprise somebody’s story
Let her know what you think and who’s story you’re looking forward to the most. She loves hearing from readers!
