    Jackie Williams

    My parents brought me up with a huge love of reading. Bedtime stories were a treasured time of adventure and mystery. Romances were the fuel for many a teenage fantasy and my passion still lingers for deliciously smouldering heroes.My daughter persuaded me to write my first book. She wanted one with all the exact ingredients just for her. She loved the tale so much that I published A Perfect Summer. Writing has turned into a grand passion. I couldn't stop at just one book and so I began another. Fifteen books later, I am still full of ideas. Historical romance is now my favourite genre. All those fabulously titled and passionate men are impossibly hard to resist.

      Yesterdays Children - Jackie Williams

      Yesterdays Children

      By Jackie G Williams

      Copyright 2014 Jackie G Williams

      Smashwords Edition

      ***~~***

      This book of poetry will not be to everyone's liking.

      Some poems are quite graphic, while others make you think.

      Our world is going through so many changes that it is so hard to keep up.

      Many of us are struggling with inner turmoil, or things we would much rather not speak of.

      This book is of those hush hush things.
