edit data

Sandra J. Jackson was born in Montreal, Quebec but now lives in a rural setting in Eastern Ontario with her husband.

A graduate of a 3-year Graphic Design program, being creative has always been Sandra’s passion. Over the years she has enjoyed creating works of art for her family and friends. Her children, however, brought out the storyteller inside when Sandra told them bedtime stories. Her wild imagination lent itself to new and exciting ideas.

An avid reader of many genres, Sandra’s writing does not fall into any specific category. However, her goal is to create stories that pull readers into the book and make them feel as though they are a part of the story.

Sandra has four published works (three of which are also available as audiobooks) ...more

“Love – an emotion so strong it can make us feel invincible. It can drive every thought, make us do things we normally wouldn’t do, and cloud our judgment. It can drive us crazy. We say ‘love at first sight’, ‘madly in love’, ‘love is a drug’, ‘blinded by love’, or ‘love is blind’. It is not until we are truly in love that we can relate to any of those expressions.”
