Featured Interview With Jackie Haley
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I'm from Minnesota, but spent most of my life in Iowa. I live in central Iowa with my two sons and husband and our toy poodle, Charlie.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I've always enjoyed writing as a child, but once school and work began, it always took a back seat to those priorities. It wasn't until around 2008 that I seriously got back into writing, but I'm so thankful I did and I've enjoyed it ever since.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I've always been a Jane Austen fan. I'm a big fan of historical fiction and innocent love stories. Nicholas Sparks is also an author that inspires me. His attention to detail and scene development truly put the reader in the story.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book, Brenda's Wish is a true story about a cancer-stricken wife that, in the final precious months she had left, wrote a letter and gave it to a friend. She said when my husband finds a new wife to take care of our four boys, please send it into the radio station Christmas Wish program. Two years after she passed, David, the husband, goes into the radio station and hears the words of his late wife for the first time. It's a true and inspiring story of one mother that looked beyond her own life for her family.
