  <about><![CDATA[Jacqueline Winspear was born and raised in the county of Kent, England. Following higher education at the University of London’s Institute of Education, Jacqueline worked in academic publishing, in higher education and in marketing communications in the UK.

She emigrated to the United States in 1990, and while working in business and as a personal / professional coach, Jacqueline embarked upon a life-long dream to be a writer.

A regular contributor to journals covering international education, Jacqueline has published articles in women's magazines and has also recorded her essays for KQED radio in San Francisco. She currently divides her time between Ojai and the San Francisco Bay Area and is a regular visitor to the United Kingdom and Europe.

Jacqueline’s novels thus far – Maisie Dobbs, Birds of a Feather, Pardonable Lies, Messenger of Truth and An Incomplete Revenge, are set in the late 1920’s and early 1930’s, with the roots of each story set in the Great War, 1914-1918.

Jacqueline’s first novel, Maisie Dobbs, was a National Bestseller and received an array of accolades, including New York Times Notable Book 2003, a Publishers’ Weekly Top Ten Mystery 2003, and a BookSense Top Ten selection. In addition, the novel was nominated for 7 awards, including the Edgar for Best Novel – only the second time a first novel was nominated in this category. She subsequently won the prestigious Agatha Award for Best First novel, the Macavity Award for Best First Novel; and the Alex Award, which is presented annually by the American Library Association in conjunction with the Margaret Alexander Edwards Trust. Maisie Dobbs was published by Soho Press in hardcover and by Penguin in paperback, an edition that spent almost four months on the Independent Mystery Booksellers Bestseller list in 2004.

Jacqueline’s subsequent novels have all been BookSense picks and have received award nominations, with the Agatha Award for Best Novel going to Birds of a Feather, and the inaugural Sue Feder/Macavity Award for Best Historical Mystery awarded to Pardonable Lies. An Incomplete Revenge was an instant New York Times Bestseller in 2008.

Among The Mad, the sixth novel in the series, was published in February 2009.
