Jackie Manning made her writing debut in 1995 with Embrace the Dawn, a Harlequin Historical, written under the pen name Jackie Summers. Now, she writes under her own name, beginning with A Wish for Nicholas, a 1998 release, which appeared for many months on Amazon s Harlequin Historical bestseller list.
Silver Hearts, a Western set in Nevada s silver mining days, was released in 1999, and Taming the Duke, an English Regency, will be published in 2001.
Prior to writing full-time, Jackie managed her own tax accounting agency with over 300 clients, many of whom she s recruited into devoted fans of the romance genre. Jackie lives in Maine with her husband, Tom, and their spoiled-rotten shih tzu and Aussie terrier. When she isn t writing, she s teaching creative writing, researching places for future books, and hanging out with writer pals.
