Jacci lives with her husband in Nevada’s high desert. They spend their mornings hiking through the sagebrush with their dog, Rosie. Jacci loves chocolate, babies, and coffee with friends. She’s worn many hats in her life: therapist, school counselor, campus minister, and mom. Her favorite hats are her writer and grandmother hats, which come in wild colors and don’t fit too tightly. Jacci is the author of twelve books for middle grade and young adults and two for adults. Her fantasy for young adults is Tree Singer. It has three things she loves: trees, a good quest story, and a young girl who has to find her voice to bring her gifts to the world! It was a finalist in three Wishing Shelf book contest categories: YA, Cover, and Audio. Most recently, Jacci published her first Non-Fiction for Adults, Tumbled People: Deconstructing and Reconstructing Your Faith, and she has a similar fiction geared towards adults, The Retreat: A Tale of Spiritual Awakening, on Harper Collins. Awards: Jacci's middle grade fiction, Bending Willow, is about Riley and Mia searching for a father who doesn't know they exist. It is the first book in The Finding Home Series. Bending Willow represented Nevada at the National Book Festival in Washington D.C and was a finalist for the Wishing Shelf Contest. In addition, Jacci is the author of the Amazon best-selling young adult novel, The Cage, the first book in The Birthright series. Her YA book, Snapped, is about Snapchat gone wrong and how to stand up to cyberbullying. It received five stars from Litpick and was a Wishing Shelf finalist. Her YA book, Cracker, is an alternative history and helps us understand what it is like to be a marginalized person. Teachers use the Discussion guide in the back to help students talk about difficult topics like race, microaggressions, and systemic injustice. Her middle grade fantasy, Shipwrecked, was written alongside fourth-grade students in Idaho. In an amazing show of generosity, 1200 of Jacci's books were given to the WCSD libraries by a patron.
