Jackie is a member of the Greater Seattle Romance Writers of America and the Contemporary Romance Writers. In a past life, she was an elementary school teacher.

Jackie Marilla lives on a macadamia nut farm in Hawai’i with her supportive husband, several feral cats and a flock of hodgepodge chickens. Not only do you get a great romance set in the beautiful Kona, you also get a taste of the local history and lifestyle. I had the opportunity to read her Love Those Hula Hips and I quite enjoyed it. This time on Carol Presents is the lovely Jackie Marilla.
