Just so you know, I only update this blog when I have something special to say – which means hardly ever since I’m usually too busy writing books. 🙂 However, if you want to keep up with me and my writing, feel free to check me out on FB. I also have a special FB … Continue reading “Keeping Up With Jackie”

So what’s all this newsletter stuff about? And what are you signing up for? I send out my newsletter every time I have a new release.

What am I working on? I have a number of things in the works. Firstly I’m editing … Continue reading “The Writing Process Blog Chain”
