Medallion Honoree October 15, 2014) I am so proud! (LUMIERE by Jacqueline E. Lumière-A Romantic Steampunk Fantasy-my debut novel, is the recipient of an indieBRAG Medallion!!! B.R.A.G. An excerpt from Lumière earned me the 2012 Don Maass Break Out Novel Intensive Scholarship. In my former life, I was a teacher (both grade school and college-don't ask), but more recently I've been a graduate of Ellen Hopkin's Nevada Mentor Program and a student of James Scott Bell, Christopher Vogler and Don Maass. Because of this, I am often referred to as the Quentin Tarantino of YA among writing friends. My writing style has been described as edgy and rule-breaking, and by some-a touch Tim Burton-esque. You will always find a purple wall (or two) in my house (currently in my writing room), and there may or may not be a hidden passageway that leads to a mystery room. (Okay, so you won't find a hidden passageway, but a girl can dream, can't she?) Oh, and tea. I prefer creating things to cleaning things, and believe laughter is a one-stop-shop solution to all that ails you. I have a love/hate relationship with chocolate, grammar, and technology and would rather hang out with a dog, than a cat. I love to read, write, paint (walls and paper). I love strong heroines, despise whiny sidekicks, and adore a good story about a triumphant underdog.
I'm Jacqueline Garlick, author of young adult and new adult fiction.
