Jacqueline Grima has been writing since she was very young, her first experience of rejection when she submitted a short story to her namesake Jackie magazine in her teens. In 2015, after deciding to take her writing more seriously, Jacqueline embarked on a Creative Writing MA at Manchester Metropolitan University, graduating with a distinction as well as the 2018 Janet Beer prize for outstanding contribution. Her work has since appeared in a variety of publications, both in print and online. Jacqueline writes in the living room of the home she shares with her expanding family and a greyhound called Nero. She spends a lot of time dreaming of having her own office. Her 'utterly gripping' thriller THE WEEKEND ALONE is out now in e-book, audiobook and paperback and her new novel My Daughter's Killer will be released in e-book in August 23 and in paperback in October.
