In answer to our question of why she writes, Jacqueline responded:

"There’s no deeper pleasure for me. Writing seems to satisfy a need that I didn’t know I had, and that can’t be fulfilled any other way. At this stage in my life, memoir has taken on particular emotional urgency. And flash, well flash is just fun."
