Jackie Jones (nee Lameront) was born in Kingston, Ontario and is the eldest of eight siblings. Being from a large family, Jackie is very familiar with the importance of responsibility, patience and acceptance. Now living in the Village of Thornton, Jackie and her husband, Henry, have five children and eight wonderful grandchildren. Inspired by Napoleon Hill, Jackie combined her passion for writing with her love of children to create The Gratitude Bugs series. When she's not writing new adventures for G-Bugs, reading, taking walks or learning guitar, Jackie helps Henry run Roadshow Antiques North in Innisfil, a business they've owned since 1995 and more recently, the Roadshow Antiques South in Pickering. Living her life by the Law of Attraction, Jackie enjoys sharing G-Bugs stories with students in the primary grades. Her belief is that discussing the traits and differences of each character will help children recognize and identify with their core values. Jackie whole-heartedly believes that reading and sharing the stories of The Gratitude Bugs will bring hope and happiness to all children, from all walks of life, all around the world.
