A.L. Jackson is the New York Times bestselling author of Take This Regret and Lost to You, as well as other contemporary romance titles, including Pulled, When We Collide, and If Forever Comes.
She first found a love for writing during her days as a young mother and college student. She filled the journals she carried with short stories and poems used as an emotional outlet for the difficulties and joys she found in day-to-day life.
Years later, she shared a short story she’d been working on with her two closest friends and, with their encouragement, this story became her first full length novel. A.L. now spends her days writing in Southern Arizona where she lives with her husband and three children. Her favorite pastime is spending time with the ones she loves.
We stumbled upon The Regret Series in the fall last year and were completely blown away with A.L. Jackson's story telling ability. You know you've found an amazing author when you are sucked in before the end of chapter 1 and subsequently devote the entire weekend to reading all the books in the series! Yes, thats exactly what happened. Her books are emotionally charged leaving you so involved in the story and the characters that long after the book is finished you find yourself still thinking through every little detail, replaying all the scenes. I could go on and on but my point is if any of her books are on your TBR list then move them to the very top, you won't be disappointed. If however you haven't even heard of A.L. Jackson before today then please do yourself a favor, buy one of her books and get to reading ASAP!
