Jill Eileen Smith

Jill Eileen Smith is the bestselling and award-winning author of many biblical novels, including her first series The Wives of King David.

Her next book, The Table of Mercy, will release February 16, 2027.

She has published 25 books, fiction and nonfiction. She loves Jesus and His Word and all things related to learning more about the women whom God has immortalized there.

While she loves writing and researching, she is willingly interrupted by her west-coast children and adorable grandchildren. Traveling to Israel was a highlight of her life, but traveling west is her new favorite place to visit. When she’s not writing, she can be found reading stories that take her away, playing too many games and puzzles on her phone (call it down time), or snuggling her lovable, mischievous cats Kody and Kaelee.

Her favorite verse is Proverbs 3:3 "Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart."

Jill has been married to the love of her life for 49 years and counting and lives in a quiet neighborhood in southeast Michigan.
