Jackie Ross Flauam

Jackie Ross Flaum began her career at The Hartford Courant, where she won a Connecticut Sigma Delta Chi journalism award for editorial writing.

When her family moved to Memphis she worked as a communications consultant, speechwriter, and freelance author. After abandoning reality for fiction, she won first place for romantic suspense in the 21st annual Duel on the Delta sponsored by the River City Romance Writers.

These days she is knee-deep in flash cards for Team Read, a volunteer program that helps second graders learn to read.
