About the Author

Despite having grown up being told that girls don’t need to go to college, J. Jacquie Meadows put herself through college while working full time. She graduated with honors earning both a bachelor’s degree in business administration and a master’s degree in organizational leadership.

Jacquie spent over forty years as a Land professional in the Oil and Gas industry, where she considers her most significant accomplishment, and greatest joy, to have been the mentoring and career development of the younger generation and successful teams to replace the oil patch’s good ol’ boys.

Having stumbled into her life-long career only by mistake, or good fortune, Jacquie is motivated to help others more purposefully determine their future. In the Lighthouse Islands Young Adult series, Jacquie’s characters strive to discover and follow their purpose and passions, rather than let society do it for them.

Jacquie has always had a passion for writing and for lighthouses—symbolizing light and guidance—and, since retiring recently, spends her days bringing both to life as she works on the Lighthouse Islands series.

Jacquie’s Lighthouse Islands book series is dedicated to those readers who may not yet realize there are many choices and blessings in this thing we call life.

Jacquie is a fourth-generation Colorado native whose bloodline helped build Denver and its surrounding areas. She lives in the foothills west of Denver with her husband, two dogs, three cats, two rescue birds, and a plethora of wildlife. Her adult daughter lives nearby and inspires Jacquie daily as she blazes her own unique life path.
