Jackie Vest lives in North Carolina with her two sons and five beloved cats. Born in Upstate New York, she grew up devouring books. Starting with Sweet Valley High and The Babysitter’s Club before graduating to Stephen King as a teenager. Her reading adventures led her through countless genres discovered during treasure hunts at Goodwill. She eventually found her true literary home in the magical intersection of fantasy, paranormal, romance, and mystery.
A believer in magic and the hidden wonders our mundane eyes can’t quite see, Jackie spent years being told she should write her own stories. Fear held her back. Until a battle with breast cancer in her mid-forties changed everything. Emerging from that experience, she decided it was finally time to stop being afraid and start creating the magical worlds she’d always dreamed of.
When she is not writing, you might find Jackie rescuing cats (she spent years finding homes for a growing colony) or plotting her next cozy mystery. She has poured her heart into this series and hopes readers will love spending time in this magical world as much as she has loved creating it.
