Gillian Jackson

Gillian was born and grew up in Darlington, County Durham, where she still lives with her husband. As a mother of four adult children and with nine grandchildren, life is always busy.

Her career began in childcare as the owner/manager of a Day Nursery until a change in direction at the age of fifty saw her training in therapeutic counselling. This led to five years working in the voluntary sector for Victim Support, offering emotional support to victims of crimes ranging from burglary to homicide, and gaining a wealth of experience in the criminal justice system.

Gillian now writes full time, generally from an emotional point of view and attempting to put herself into the position of each character she creates.
