Crow's Rest

Angelica R. Jackson, in keeping with her scattered Gemini nature, has published articles on gardening, natural history, web design, travel, hiking, and local history. Other interests include pets, reading, green living, and cooking for food allergies (the latter not necessarily by choice, but she's come to terms with it). Ongoing projects include short fiction, poetry, novels, art photography, and children's picture books. In 2012, she started Pens for Paws Auction, which features critiques and swag from agents and authors to raise money for a no-kill, cage-free cat sanctuary where she volunteers, Fat Kitty City. She's also been involved with capturing the restoration efforts for Preston Castle (formerly the Preston School of Industry) in photographs and can sometimes be found haunting its hallways. She shares a home in California's Gold Country with her husband, and far too many books (if that's even possible). A reformed feral tabby named Pippin, and a rescued Breton Fauve called Chloe, help keep her from spending all her time writing. An active volunteer in SCBWI's CA North/Central region, she served most recently as the Illustrator Coordinator.
