Atlanta Author Jackson Pearce

So this was something a little different for me. I don’t typically do headshots, but I couldn’t refuse when this lovely young lady contacted me. At the ripe old age of 24, she has a novel being published this Fall by Harper Collins. And next year? Novel #2 will be published by Little, Brown.

Jackson needed images for her book jackets, and the mom in me was so proud of her for this amazing accomplishment! So much talent and drive at such a young age. See, mom = proud. I asked her how hard it was to write books and get them published. She paused, then said “Harder than anything you can ever imagine.”

And she is just absolutely lovely – inside and out. She brought her sister along to make her laugh – and it worked!

Her first Young Adult (YA) novel is titled As You Wish, and it’s now available for preorder at Amazon here. It tells the story of a girl who has a heartbreaking experience who inadvertently summons a genie from another world – and he will remain with her until she makes three wishes (Jackson, if that’s not entirely accurate, smack me!).

Her second novel is titled Sisters Red, and is a YA take on the tale of Little Red Riding Hood. The main character’s name is Scarlett.

Her blog is here: WatchMeBe and it is highly entertaining. Witty and smart.

Jackson, it was a pleasure photographing you, and I wish you all the success in the world!
