Jackie Barbosa

I can’t remember a time when I didn’t want to be a writer when I grew up, but there were plenty of times when I wasn’t sure I ever would be. As it turns out, it just took me about twenty years longer to grow up than I expected!

On the road to publication, I took a few detours, including a stint in academia (I hold an MA in Classics from the University of Chicago and was a recipient of a Mellon Fellowship in the Humanities) and many years as a technical writer/instructional designer for a data processing company. I still hold my day job in instructional design, but my true passion is writing steamy romances–both historical and contemporary.

I learned to believe in love at first sight when I met the man of my dreams over two decades ago and to believe in happily ever after when I married him. I live in Southern California with my real-life hero, our three children, and an ever-changing menagerie of pets.

• jackiebarbosa: @Liz_Mc2 I clearly have to make my stories more griping. You'll check INCARNATE for that, right? @suburbanbeatnik
• jackiebarbosa: @suburbanbeatnik @Liz_Mc2 Contrary to popular believe, the ranking you gained when you were free does not "carry over" to paid.
• jackiebarbosa: @suburbanbeatnik @Liz_Mc2 That makes me feel a LITTLE better, but knowing how Select works when you come out of free, it's more than that.
• jackiebarbosa: @Liz_Mc2 Yeah, all I'm thinking is why don't those suckers buy MY books, lol. #selfcentered #butIcanuseapostrophes
