With seven books currently in circulation and her first three book series coming in 2012, Jamie has made an impressive contribution to the inspirational, historical romance genre featuring heroines who are fierce in their beliefs and love. It was the beginning of her dream career. In 2010 Wind Dancer was a finalist in the Indiana State Library Best Books of Indiana. Eight years and lots of rejection letters later, Snow Angel was published and won ForeWord Magazine’s Romance Book of the Year, a USA Book News “Best Books 2007” Awards winner, and 2008 RITA® Awards Best First Book finalist. When her eldest son turned five she decided to try her hand at novels. Piles of poems, short stories, skits and song lyrics later, Jamie grew up and married. The highlight of those nights was stopping at a truck stop in the middle of the night where her dad spent a little of the offering basket on two slices of pie and a couple of Cokes.Īnd nothing could stop the writing pouring out of her. Road trips with her dad-to and from Bible studies across Indiana-were filled with talks of things beyond earth’s bounds – creation and the fall, God and Jesus and the rapture, the earthly walk compared to the spiritual walk, and how we are born for more than what we can see or touch. Born and raised in Vincennes, Indiana, Jamie is a preacher’s daughter.
