Autorenporträt
Joan Jackson has loved writing since she was a small child, so very long ago. When she had her own two little boys, their love of her stories spurred her writing of children's stories into a passion. They would sit be her side asking for stories about such things as bunnies in jewel-lined caves. What a pleasure to create word pictures in their small minds. When the world recently quieted and people stayed in their own homes for long stretches of time, Joan's story writing imagination took flight more than in recent years. She derives great pleasure in writing stories.
