Paranormal, my stranger side
props
“riffed wonderfully” - Publishers Weekly
“humorous” - Booklist
I decided to put up a new section of my site for the stranger side of me rather than taking on a pseud. Basically the reason for this is that I do have more paranormal work coming out under my Monica Jackson moniker.
My recent paranormal book covers and blurbs aren’t very paranormal.
The covers and back blurbs are misleading, with cheerful, fluffy romance and chick lit tone and feel. Then you get to the demons and gore, heh. Oh well, that’s beyond my control, but my site is within it.
Ain’t no fluffy baby bunnies rockin’ up in here.

"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. Diet diva Keeshia Meadows willingly trades her chunky
thighs and big hips for sharp fangs and a small waist but soon finds that she’s bitten off more than she can chew.–The Black Collegian

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!
