Welcome to my website!
Just to share a little information about me, I was born in Jacksonville, Florida. I am a proud graduate of William M. Raines High School, and I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Jacksonville University.
I got married thirty-seven years ago to my high school sweetheart, Gerald, and we have two sons, Gerald Jr. and Brandon, ages thirty and twenty-eight, respectively. I still proudly wear the going-steady ring Gerald gave me at fourteen. I recently retired after working 37 years in management for a major insurance and is now writing full-time and enjoying every minute of it.
I am a member of the First Coast Chapter of Romance Writers of America. I began my writing career in the eighth grade at Northwestern Junior High School, when I would hand- write my stories for fellow classmates to read. I'm proud to say some of those same classmates are still Brenda Jackson readers today!!
My professional writing career began in 1994 when I signed on with Kensington Arabesque. My first book, Tonight and Forever, became a huge success, introducing the Madaris Family. Since then I have introduced the Bennetts, the Westmorelands, the Savoys, and the Steeles. A listing of my books can be found on this website. And because I love writing connecting stories, I have a listing of how my books connect in my various family saga series.
I have written for the following publishers: St. Martins Press, BET, Kensington, NAL, Harlequin/Silhouette and Harlequin Kimani Romance. Recently, I signed a 5-year contract where I will be writing for Harlequin exclusively. I am excited to have all my books under one dynamic publishing home. Expect more Brenda Jackson books to come your way.
