Jackie Minniti was born and raised in the heart of New Jersey. She spent 25 years as a classroom teacher and was an education writer for the Courier Post. After retiring from teaching, she moved to a small beach town on the west coast of Florida and began writing full-time. She decided to incorporate her classroom experiences into a book that would combine the readability of a novel with the elements of a self-help book and give readers an intimate peek behind the faculty room door. "Project June Bug" is a result of that effort. The story of a dedicated teacher's efforts to help a student with ADHD, "Project June Bug" won several literary awards including an Eric Hoffer Book Award, a National Best Books Award, a Royal Palm Literary Award, a Next Generation Indie Book Award, four Parent to Parent Awards, and a Mom's Choice silver medal. "Project June Bug" was also chosen as Book of the Year by Premier Book Awards. Jackie's second novel, "Jacqueline," is a middle grade historical based on an experience her father (a WWII veteran) had while stationed in France shortly after D-Day. It was the only war story he was willing to share and became part of the family lore. Set in Nazi-occupied Rennes in 1944, "Jacqueline" is a tale of faith, family, unlikely friendships and the resiliency of the human spirit. With the drama of fiction and the authenticity of personal history, it is both a story about family and a family's story. "Jacqueline" has won an Eric Hoffer Book Award, a gold medal for historical fiction from the Literary Classics Book Awards, a gold medal from the Military Writers Society of America and a first place in the Royal Palm Literary Awards. Jackie's latest book, "One Small Spark," is a middle grade historical novel set in pre-Revolutionary War Boston. It tells the story of how the fate of an 11-year-old boy changed the course of history. It was named a finalist in the Next Generation Indie Book Awards and received a 5-star review from Readers' Favorites. Several of Jackie's stories have been included in "Chicken Soup for the Soul" collections. She also writes a blog, "Fabulous Florida Authors," featuring some of the outstanding writers from the Sunshine State. You can visit her website at www.jackieminniti.com.
