“It also great to see new readers coming to light because of this award.” It's been really amazing to get recognition, this will also increase the direction of my work itself and how I start writing. Jackie explained the process of publishing the book was tough as she had to take time off from university and work engagements to write and do research for the book. “Getting interviews with people for certain topics is really hard. a lot of people are really closed off from giving information as they're fearful of their names being in the book or to expose certain people. Also, the funds to publish the book in SA is really expensive especially when you're self-funded.” So, the research on its own takes time but I'm working on it. Jackie has also been busy with her latest offering Bare III: Ego, which is the final book in the three-part “Bare” series. It sees her exploring human trafficking in the country.
