A note from the Author, Jackie Weger
I hate writing these dang bios. I was born, I'm still living. That ought to be enough. I once was married, but now I'm not. I raised five kids, but they didn't like the way they were raised, so now I just raise tomatoes. I write old-fashioned novels, funny or sad, wordy old things, full of clichés because I know what they mean and you do, too. The muscle I most admire in a man is between his ears, so I don’t write titillating sex scenes because you already know where the body parts go and you don’t need an anatomy lesson from me. As I recall bedroom events, it was fifteen minutes and he turned over and went to sleep. I got up, changed diapers or washed dishes or, ironed my clothes for work the next day.
I don’t write about bad boys
because bad boys are self-centered, eat Stupid for Breakfast, make for bad men and worse fathers. I anchor my stories with good girls yearning to find an honest, hard-working man of integrity so they can have babies, stay home, go to yard sales and watch soap operas or reality shows—which I never had time to do.
I once moved to Central America where I lived first on an island off the coast of Panama, and later in a dry Pacific Rainforest—except it is seldom truly dry. I lived as many of the natives in a small village carved out of the jungle. During the day, I sheltered beneath a thatched roofed bohio, cooked with wood on a native stove, bathed in the River Camito, dispatched snakes with a machete and harvested mandarinas, oranges, bananas, mangos and coffee.
At dusk, I retired to my recama, a minuscule sleeping room where I read by lantern or candle light. I slept beneath a net while overhead tiny fruit bats taught their young to fly and geckos scampered over walls. I sometimes volunteered at a Sister’s of Mercy Mission where the focus was on Kuna Indian woman and children. Once I’d saved enough money to give myself a new start stateside, I returned to discover a new innovation—the Kindle.
I love ebooks.
In an earlier life, I wrote Romance novels for Harlequin and have a couple of million books in print worldwide. Venturing into the universe of eBooks is a wonderful new experience, along with the opportunity to revise and publish some on my early timeless favorites to digital venues.
Until last year, the only electronic device I was familiar with was my ATM card, so I’m just learning my way around the Internet, but you can...
