Born and raised in New York, Jacqueline Levine is a new Indie author on the block. After seven years in the classroom, she decided to turn a play written for an after-school drama class into a full-length novel. Her experience teaching and mentoring young teens, combined with a guilty pleasure of reading celebrity news, inspired the themes and many of the scenes in the tale of a starlet's fall from grace and the small-town boy who is doing everything in his power not to fall for her. After a year of hard work and editing, she self-published Spiral in August of 2013, and it is one of her greatest accomplishments. When not writing, Jackie can be found baking, attending group dance classes like Zumba, and shopping for more clothes and shoes that she doesn't need. Jackie LOVES hearing from readers and wants you to comment/message/tweet/etc. If you like Spiral, be sure to review it on www.Amazon.com or here on Goodreads! Happy reading!
