Jackie Ivie is a native of Utah and attended the University of Utah on a full scholarship in Fine Art. She relocated to Wyoming for several years before moving to Anchorage, Alaska, where she lives with her husband and their four children and manages a division of a large service company. In her “spare time” between being a mom, a wife, and a businesswoman, Jackie can usually be found at her word processor, totally absorbed in another century while glancing occasionally at the magnificent snow-capped mountain views through her windows.
