Jacki Ring

Jacki Ring grew up in the Sandhills of Western Nebraska on the family's cattle ranch. Here, Jacki spent much of her time riding horses, herding cows, and driving tractors. She had to drive 45 minutes to get to a tiny, regional high school. The family drove almost two hours to go shopping. At night she could clearly see the Milky Way and occasionally the Northern Lights. The viewing was accompanied by the lowing of cattle, the occasional horse’s neigh, and a coyote’s howl.

As an adult Jacki has lived throughout Nebraska, Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado. It is Colorado where she and her family have settled, although she is still a country girl at heart. She loves nothing more than plotting murder and romance and putting these plots on paper. She lives with her husband, daughter, and a feisty feline at the foot of the Rocky Mountains.
