Jackie Mitchard, author of What We Saw At Night & What We Lost In The Dark

Many people imagine themselves as a noted novelist, a Multi-New York Times Best Seller, being launched into success with the help of Oprah….Good thoughts! Most successful authors describe their journey as ’20 years to overnight success’. … because the task of crafting tales that lead to success is anything but overnight or easy.  Staying successful requires the continuing hours of solitude and diligence that you simply must spend to create a good book. Getting back there, when it all was literally stolen away, when your youth seemed spent makes for a great novel, and a very harsh reality.  Jackie Mitchard was out there, up there and then driven hard to the bottom.   Now…Jacqueline Mitchard is back! An acclaimed writer of both adult and young adult fiction and best known for her award-winning NY Times bestselling debut novel, The Deep End of the Ocean, which launched Oprah’s book club and became a movie produced by and starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Jackie Mitchard is also a journalist and regular contributor to More magazine as well as the editor in chief of Merit Press, a mature Young Adult imprint under the aegis of F&W Media.  The mother of nine lives in Cape Cod with her children, her husband Dan, and their poodle, Dante. www.JackieMitchard.com
