My book has been available in digital form since December 1, 2015, but the fact that I am now an author never felt as real to me as it did the moment I held that first hard copy in my hands. A special thanks to my sister, Tammy Jackson, who did the cover. I could not have done this without you. I know I got on your nerves more than once. I could tell there were times that you wanted to give up, but you didn't. 2015 has been hard on the both of us. Hopefully we will put it beh

Queen Brianna’s choices for a mate are quickly narrowed to the three princes of Gilvary. Today we will take a look at each of them. Let me know which one you would pick! Here is what we know about Dunbar: *He is the crown prince of Gilvary. If Brianna marries him, their kingdoms would merge as one after his parents are gone. *He is under his father’s thumb right now, but perhaps he is just a victim of his circumstances. *Maybe if he could get away from Gilvary and his father,

It has been a long, hard process for me and my designer, but the cover is finallly done. I should tell you that my designer is also my sister, Tammy Jackson.

The castle of Aisling is built into a cliff overlooking the Moya Ocean and is home to

Here are the first five pages of my book, Securing the Kingdom of Aisling. Enjoy! One Brianna “Queen Brianna, are you listening to me?” I looked across the council room table directly at Reilly. “Yes, you just told me that I have until my birthday to find a husband and get married. I am aware of that. Are you aware that my birthday is almost six months away and the Session meeting we are supposed to be discussing today is just next week? We can plan a wedding after we get bac

I picked a frog to represent my first blog entry because that's what I am. FROG- Fully Relying On God! I know, it sounds cliche', but I really am stepping out on faith here. I have basically been a stay-at-home mom/housewife for, well, all of my life. Other that a few tax courses, my schooling does not go past high school. I have started writing projects in the past but never finished any of them. What makes me think that I can write a book and then get it published? A little
