The Daphne Project
A heartwarming novel of second chances, found family, and small-town secrets - Bridget Jones meets Nancy Drew.
Former librarian Daphne thought a fresh start would be simple—until a possible romance, a quirky new community, and the mystery surrounding her Great Aunt Flo’s death turn her life upside down. She’ll need a lot of coffee (and maybe a little courage) to uncover the truth. Because new beginnings should be anything but boring.

I host & produce an award-winning podcast
Come escape life’s drama, stress, and other wrinkle creators. My podcast is crafted to transport people into a cozy conversation with me or join my chat with a guest. Each week the topics change, but your chair is always waiting. The second season began the popular Story Share series, in which other authors showcase their tales, all centered around a varying theme. 2023 earned Jacqui Just Chatters the Best Podcast award from WDIV, the Detroit area NBC’s television affiliate. In the same year, the series was one of the final five nominees for the Quill Podcast Award in two categories (Best Podcast & Best Society & Culture Podcast). But don’t take these people’s word for it, check it out yourself.
