Jacqueline Hook has been a writer her entire adult life. After authoring several children's books, she spent 27 years writing and overseeing the writing of hundreds of online courses/degree programs, and educational books and materials. She then took the leap into writing adult fiction, a genre most dear to her heart. As an educational writer, Jacqueline relished the opportunity to ignite the mind and inspire learning. As a writer of contemporary fiction, she aims to tug the heart, touch the soul, and entertain with style. LAKE AMANDA is her debut novel. When Jacqueline is not writing or reading, she is likely strength-training, playing pickleball, practicing yoga, or enjoying time with friends and family in beautiful San Diego.
