Festival Appearance(s):

Joshilyn Jackson lives in Powder Springs, GA, with her husband, their two kids, a hound dog, a scurrilous kitten, two legally separated Beta fish, and a 22-pound, one-eyed Maine Coon cat named Franz Schubert. She wishes their neighborhood were zoned for goats. Both her Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance (SIBA) award-winning first novel, gods in Alabama, and her Georgia Author of the Year Award-winning second novel, Between, Georgia were chosen as the No. 1 BookSense picks for the month of their release, making Jackson the first author in BookSense history to have No. 1 picks in consecutive years. The Girl Who Stopped Swimming, a national bestseller that Entertainment Weekly called “a wild, smartly calibrated achievement," is now out in paperback.
