We are kicking off this year’s Mother’s Day Author Blog series with
Joshilyn Jackson, the
New York Times and
USA Today bestselling author of numerous novels, including her newly released psychological thriller,
WITH MY LITTLE EYE. Joshilyn and her brother were voracious readers growing up. Their mother happily took them to the library and let them borrow as many books as they were allowed. Joshilyn credits her mom with helping to shape her into the reader and writer that she is today, which started when she was just a newborn. These days, their bond is as strong as ever, thanks in part to their shared love of books.
