Bio

Born and raised in southern California, Reese Jacquez started writing at age twelve.
I grew up in Upland, California, and dreamed of becoming an author while watching "Little House on the Prairie." 

I was given a book called, "Notes to Myself," on my twelfth birthday. That summer, I started writing. At first, the stories didn't come easy. But that summer I wrote a story called, "Buddies on the Run." Most of the stories were made up, normally at night during bedtime. I didn't grow up watching much television, and still don't watch a lot of television. I'd rather spend my time writing, or reading. I do however have my favorite movies I  enjoy watching for entertainment, and find the old greats like "Gone with the Wind," are most enjoyable.

 My favorite genre is futuristic like "Star Wars," and of course, who can't resist movies from Stephen King? He's just simply brilliant and gifted. I'd give my left eye-tooth to get inside his imagination, and that of George Lucas.

 While in school I wasn't given the opportunity in taking a creative writing course, so I wrote independently. Normally on weekends and over summer vacation. I always had a notebook on my bed, and enjoyed telling  stories to my friends I made up while driving to the mountains or to the beach on the weekends. Unfortunately, these stories were never written down.

 After I became a young adult, I married and continued to write short stories, and poems. I felt inspired to write children stories hoping one day to have them published. One that comes to mind is called, "The Toaster That Talked." Later, in during my middle twenties, I wrote a YA novel called, "Tara A Cry For Love."

The novel is completed, but still sits on my book shelve, collecting dust in one day in hopes to have it edited, and some day become a completed work.
