A storyteller at heart, Jackie Fowler, a native of Schuylkill County who now resides in Wilkes Barre, comes from a long line of raconteurs and wanderers who all trace their lineage back to Ireland. She, too, travels to write and writes to travel, and following in the footsteps of her ancestors, tells stories from Celtic myth and Irish history. To pay for her obsessions, she works as Chair of the English Department at American Public University System. Jackie’s newest novel was written for her dad and namesake, Jack, about an historical event close to home.

Jackie is also author of It is Myself that I Remake, and No One Radiates Love Alone. Her new historical novel, Today's Rain, Tomorrow's Whiskey, will be out in late 2025. She has had several award winning short stories published, including The Other Day I Found a Penny in the Street in the 2020 Colorado Book Award winning anthology, Women of the Desert in the Wanderlust Best of '20 anthology, and In the Summer Before Third Grade in the 2022 Fish Anthology.
