My Name is Heather Jackson. My disability retired me, so now I write full time.
Life is about taking what comes your way and making the best of it. As a blind man’s daughter, I’ve seen how disabilities can change people for the better. This is my contribution.
My interests include:
Gardening
Disaster Stories
Cross-stitch
Graphic Design
Pre-disability Experience
