D. Jackson Leigh grew up barefoot and happy, swimming in farm ponds and riding rude ponies in rural south Georgia. Her passion for writing led her to a career in journalism and North Carolina where she lives with The Terrors, her three mostly terrier mutts. She edits news at night and spends her days writing lesbian romance stories laced with her trademark Southern humor and affection for horses.

Jackson has won three Golden Crown Literary Society awards for her novels and was a finalist in the romance category of the 2014 Lambda Literary Awards.
