Jackie Turner returns to the “CC & JT Amateur Hour” to discuss her latest book, Railroad Women, a historical fiction set during the pivotal year of 1869, when the Transcontinental Railroad was completed. This engaging narrative not only tells the stories of four women who embark on new beginnings, but also uncovers the often overlooked contributions of women in shaping communities.
Transitioning into historical fiction was a new challenge for Jacci, who has explored various genres throughout her career. She highlights the joys and challenges of research, particularly the rabbit holes that come with delving into the past. Attention to detail was vital, especially when incorporating diverse characters. Jacci worked closely with sensitivity readers to ensure authentic representation.
As Jacci prepares for her book launch, her passion for storytelling and dedication to representing diverse voices shines through. As always, this conversation was a reminder of the power of literature to connect, educate, and inspire. If you want to hear more about Jacci’s insights and her journey as a writer, be sure to check out the full episode.
