FOOTSTEPS IN THE DARK
The Jacqueline Kirby Home Page

Jacqueline Kirby (known as "Jake" to her friends), a librarian turned romance novelist, enjoys nothing more than people who take themselves way too seriously. Whether it is history buffs exploring ancient Roman ruins or a convention of romance writers, Jacqueline enters into the spirit of the group.  Her fellow enthusiasts are never quite sure whether Jacqueline is a new convert, or an amused observer of their eccentricities.
