Jacqueline DeGroot lives in Sunset Beach, NC with her husband Bill. She has two grown sons, one in New York and one living locally, and her daughter Kimberly lives in Wilmington.
She stays active in her small beach community, especially in Sea Trail Plantation where she’s lived since 1996. She loves to ride bikes with her friends, cook elaborate dinners, decorate lavish cakes, do yoga and take long walks on the beach. Her love for the Brunswick Islands is apparent in all her books and she’s very happy to live in a place where so many wonderful people continue encouraging her to write.
