E. C. Jackson began her writing career with the full-length play Pajama
Party. For three and a half years she published the Confidence in Life
newsletter for Alpha Production Ministries, in addition to writing tracts
and devotionals. Teaching a women’s Bible study at her church for eleven
years naturally led to her current endeavor of writing inspirational romance
novels and teen and young adult fiction. Her mission: spiritual maturity in
the body of Christ through fiction.
