Trish Jackson was born and raised on a farm in a prosperous country called Rhodesia, in Africa which, like the lost city of Atlantis, is gone. In its place is a one of the poorest countries in the world, known as Zimbabwe. Trish comes from a family of writers and artists. Her very different and unique experiences, which include shopping in a department store with an UZI over her shoulder, driving on potentially land-mined dirt roads and sipping gin while standing in the shallows of a lake in which a herd of elephants were bathing have inspired her to write.  Romantic suspense came naturally to her. She writes novels that take place in the country--in Africa and also in the U.S., where she has lived for more than twenty years. Her novels also embrace her love of animals, particularly horses and dogs.
