I hate writing these dang bios. I was born, I’m still living. That ought to be enough. I once was married, but now I’m not. I raised five kids, but they didn’t like the way they were raised, so now I just raise tomatoes. I was raised poor, married poor, and stayed poor because I had all of those dang kids. I write old-fashioned romance novels; slow, wordy old things, full of clichés because I know what they mean and you do, too. I don’t write titillating sex scenes because you already know where the body parts go and you don’t need an anatomy lesson from me. I write good girls hoping to a find an honest, hard-working man of integrity so they can stay home and watch soap operas or reality shows—which I never had time to do.
After my children were grown and my husband left, I went to Central America where I lived first on an island off the coast of Panama, and later in a dry Pacific Rainforest—except it is seldom truly dry. I lived as many of the natives do in a small village carved out of the jungle. During the day I sheltered beneath a thatched roofed bohio, cooked with wood on a native stove, bathed in the River Camito, dispatched snakes with a machete and harvested mandarinas, oranges, bananas, mangos and coffee. At dusk, I retired to my recama, a minuscule sleeping room where I read by lantern or candle light. I slept beneath a net while overhead tiny fruit bats taught their young to fly and geckos scampered over walls. I sometimes volunteered at a Sisters of Mercy Mission where the focus was on Kuna Indian women and children.
After I’d saved enough money to give myself a new start, I returned stateside, went to college, earned a degree in History, and was fortunate to spend a semester abroad at Queens’ College, London University which was a treasure of new experiences. Truth to tell, I never considered sitting still long enough to write another book. But then the magic happened. I was gifted with a Kindle. It changed the direction of my life. I love ebooks. I wrote Romance novels for Harlequin Books for sixteen years, and have a couple of million books in print worldwide. Venturing into the universe of ebooks is a wonderful new experience, along with the opportunity to publish some of my early timeless favorites to digital venues. Until last year, the only electronic device I was familiar with was my ATM card, so I’m just learning my way around the Internet, but you can find me at the following links…

The House on Persimmon Road
By
Jackie Weger
Need Help? Hire a Ghost. She Cooks.
Lottie Roberts has been sitting on her bones since the Civil War, waiting for her ticket to heaven until…Justine Hale moves into Lottie
’s two-hundred-year-old house with three generations of emotional baggage—her mother, her ex mother-in-law and two pesky children. Lottie senses in Justine a kindred spirit—filled with heartache and in reduced circumstances, which mirrors Lottie’s situation exactly. Justine needs help. Lottie is of a mind to provide it, but before she can say squat, Tucker Highsmith arrives. His dark eyes, lazy grin, and sexy Alabama drawl coupled with the dern braggart’s Mr. Fix-it talents just might be the answer to all of Justine’s problems—or, maybe not…
Because Lottie has her own agenda, one she has been waiting, hoping and praying for since she discovered her bones crumbled behind a hidden door.
