HOWDY
I write darkly comic thrillers about ordinary people and the extraordinarily terrible things they get up to—plotted with poison, humor, and a forensic eye for how it’d really be done.
ABOUT
Jacqueline doesn’t believe in coincidence. When the former research biochemist turned techie discovered she’d worked alongside not one, but two murderers (both later convicted, happily), she began to write about how the things we tell ourselves can’t happen here, absolutely can—and do.
A graduate of the juried Community of Writers fiction workshop and an award-winning ghostwriter, Jacqueline has published short fiction in Visitant, Gentleman: Mindspace for Men, and Wicked Alice.
She’s currently at work on the Dirt Bag series and a standalone thriller, Fault Line.

BOOKS
Dirt Bag
When a failed-to-launch twenty-something accidentally exposes her parents’ side hustle as contract mercy-killers, she’s forced to embrace the family business—or die trying. A darkly comic thriller about family, loyalty, and the things we’ll do for the people we love. (Yes, even that.)
Body Bag
The Dirt Bag series continues. (Coming soon.)
Fault Line
A standalone thriller. Mara Voss is a financial-crime analyst who can read the signature a hidden fortune leaves in the movement of money—and what she traces leads somewhere no one wants found. The money is global. The laws aren’t.
