After a childhood spent moving around southern California, including nine schools by the time she graduated high school, Angelica R. Jackson gratefully settled in the Sacramento area in the early 1990s. Writing has been a constant presence in her life, supplemented by jobs as a storyteller, photographer, and bookstore clerk.
Angelica has published articles on such subjects as gardening, natural history, web design, travel, hiking, and local history. Other interests include pets, reading, green living, and cooking for food allergies (the latter not necessarily by choice, but she’s come to terms with it). Ongoing projects include short fiction, poetry, YA novels, art photography, and children’s picture books.
She was awarded an A.A. in Languages and Literature from American River College in 1999 and would like to take some culinary classes sometime soon. She currently resides in a solar home in the Sierra foothills with her husband, Tim, and two corpulent cats. Fat Kitty City, a no-kill cat sanctuary, benefits from Angelica’s photography and feral cat socialization skills.
