Philippa Flynn's Year of Panic and Piracy

Jacqueline Firkins is the author of six novels, including The Predictable Heartbreaks of Imogen Finch, How Not to Fall in Love, and Marlowe Banks, Redesigned. A costume designer and lover of beautiful things, Jacqueline is on the full-time faculty in the Department of Theatre & Film at the University of British Columbia where she teaches character design, world-building, and period costume construction courses. When not obsessing about where to put the buttons or the commas, she can be found running by the ocean, eating excessive amounts of gluten, listening to earnest love songs, and pretending her dog understands every word she says.
