The majority of the stories share themes of beauty, power and the desire for love or approval—themes that Monica Jackson’s "The Ultimate Diet" riffs on wonderfully as the obese Keeshia, rather than beginning another diet, figures out how to turn into a vampire so she can be slender and irresistible, just like her beautiful serial-killing neighbor."–Publishers Weekly

Veteran writer Monica Jackson, loved by her many fans for her quirky sense of humor, outdoes herself in "The Ultimate Diet" a tale of one sister’s quest for the perfect body that has hilarious results.

Free Novella Read: The Choice

This novella is published in an anthology by Genesis Press. I no longer link to online bookstores carrying this because although the book was carried by retail outlets for years, I’ve never received a single statement reflecting their sales of my work as contracted or any royalty payments, nor have any of the other authors.

So download and enjoy the freebie novella!

What readers said on Amazon about The Choice. . .

Excellent Holiday book. I read this book in 2000, again in 2001 and it will be re-read in 2002. My favorite story was The Choice by Monica Jackson.

These four Christmas stories were awesome. Each story was something truly special and they were all first-class material. I must admit my favorite was The Choice by Monica Jackson. I know the holidays are over but if you can your hand on a copy of this novel, do so.

I loved all the stories, but I think ‘The Choice’ was my favorite. Read it and see if you agree!
