WELCOME
Welcome to the official website for author Jacqueline Hampton, described by a reader as “an intelligent writer whose characters jump off the page with their unusual lives and even stranger missions.” Jacqueline writes twisted plots laced with poison and humor, inspired in equal parts by her previously published work in psychology, and her fascination with all things forensic.
ABOUT
Jacqueline doesn’t believe in coincidence. When the former research biochemist turned techie discovered she’d worked alongside not one, but two murderers (both later convicted, happily), she began to write about how the things we tell ourselves can’t happen here, absolutely can—and do.
Previously selected for the juried Community of Writers (formerly Squaw Valley) fiction workshop, Jacqueline is also an award-winning ghostwriter. Her non-fiction project, Back from the Brink Too: Supporting Your Loved Ones Overcoming Depression received the 2009 SANE Australia Book of the Year award. Her short fiction has appeared in Visitant, Gentleman: Mindspace for Men and Wicked Alice.
She recently completed the manuscript for a new thriller, Dirt Bag and is currently working on a sequel, working title, Body Bag. What’s next? Possibly a stand-alone thriller, The Snapback and a syfy-thriller crossover, Only Human.
