Hi there!
I’m Jackie Yeager, middle grade author and perpetual daydreamer. My imaginations is always swirling with ideas, but my ideas usually turn into stories, even though I wish I could turn them into inventions! I’m no inventor though so instead, I write middle grade books, about kids of the future, who create those inventions.
Once upon a time, I was also a middle school Odyssey of the Mind coach. One of my teams even competed at the World Finals. They were the inspiration behind the Crimson Five books. That experience, my stint as a cheerleading coach, and my former career as a corporate trainer led me to morph this site into a creative problem-solving & team-building space for coaches & educators. Because there’s nothing better than having a strong team to help you chase your dreams!

I have Masters degree in Education, live in Rochester, NY with my husband and two kids, and would live in a castle or English cottage if I could! When I’m not writing or living in my own fairy tale world, I spend my time blogging, reading, meeting friends for coffee, hanging out with my family, and thinking about my next trip to someplace I’ve never been. I love sweet cream in my coffee but I’m obsessed with chai lattes too. So, if you’re reading something I’ve written, chances are the words were fueled by one or the other!
