"My mother would tell you, 'Jade’s a natural-born prevaricator, fabricator, and all-around manipulator of the facts.' She’s been saying that ever since I could talk, but I don’t think she strictly means it in a nice way."

Jade loves to spin a good yarn. Like a front-porch fisherman on a lazy summer evening, she strives to recount a colorful, humorous, and sometimes staggering narrative, both stirring and passionate. She also loves to leave you in tears, whether from laughter, joy, or sorrow.

"Do you really care how many dogs, cats, kids, or men I live with? All kidding aside, I live with Rizzo the wondermutt, one beautiful daughter, and the sexiest man on the planet. My dog is my constant companion and the source of the strange noises and odors emanating from beneath my desk. My husband is my willing research partner and better half. My daughter constantly amazes."
