About Author J. A. Jackson
Tell us about yourself:
I was born in Arkansas and come from a family rich in storytellers. My family (my mother and father) moved our family to Chicago and pretty much I grew up in Chicago and spent many summers visiting my grandmother in Arkansas. As well as spent time as a child visiting relatives in Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma. Some relatives, from my family, moved west to California, and I lived one year of my childhood in Redwood City California, after which I returned to Chicago until I made California my home later in my life. Because I grew up in Chicago and have a lot of my family there, I have a fierce love-hate affair with this fabulous ruthless city.
Regarding my writing, all of my book’s settings have taken place in California. Except my new release in December 2019, Diamond At Midnight. It takes place in Chicago.
I was married for a very long time to my editor, and five years ago my husband passed away.
Add to that almost one year ago, I also endured the passing of my Big Sally. She was an American Hound Dog, from the German Scent dog bred. She was beautiful with a white coat, floppy ears with huge dark brown spots. She is greatly missed.
As to the Question: How many books have you written?
The total number of books I have written and published is ten. I have a couple of series. One series that consist of the beginning book, The Grand Hotel, followed by Lovers, Players & The Seducer Book I and Lovers, Players and Revenge Book II. My second series The Mistress of Desire & The Orchid Lover Book I and The Mistress of Desire & The Orchid Lover “The Quest!” Book II. Next I have several standalones that may become a series and they are The Proposition, The Deceiver’s Secret, When A Taker Dreams, and Diamond at Midnight. I have one cookbook called The Sweet Pepper Cajun Cookbook.
I am currently working on Book III of Lovers’ Players and The Seducer. I haven’t really set the title in stone yet. But it is along the lines of the Prodigal Son returning home.
In addition, I have two other books in process with several chapters completed and they are The Deceiver’s Secret Book II, and The Proposition Book II.
Diamond at Midnight was just released on December 7, 2019 and my cookbook was just release November 16, 2019.
Book Blog Tours for both of these new releases are set to begin this January 2020.
