Jacquelyn Smith writes both epic and intrigue-based fantasy, and mysteries that range from cozy to kick-ass, with independent, strong-willed heroes, in search of their place in the world. These heroes take the problems they face seriously (but never themselves), and are supported by unlikely friendships they forge along the way.
Jacquelyn is the author of the World of Lasniniar epic fantasy series, the Fatal Empire fantasy intrigue series, the kick-ass Kira Brightwell mysteries, and the Mackenzie Quinn Canadian cozy mysteries. (She originally published several of the early Kira Brightwell titles under the pen name Kat Irwin, before killing Kat off to eliminate the many awkward questions about having a second identity.)
When spending time in the real world, Jacquelyn lives on the suburban outskirts of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, with her husband, Mark, and their feline owner, Xena, who is definitely a warrior princess.

A high-priced thief who can't turn down a challenge. A cocky, young mage whose power has caught the attention of the local Mage-Lord. A royal scribe who stands on the brink of an imperial invasion.
Three people whose fates hang in the balance at a point of no return...
This dark fantasy short story collection includes three twisting, stand-alone adventures by the author of the World of Lasniniar series, Jacquelyn Smith:
The Unclean (Winning entry of the Writers' Journal Fiction Contest, 2010)
Wayward Scribe
The God's Eye (Overall winner of the Writers' Journal Fiction Contest, 2011)
The Unclean:
An appointment with the Mage-Lord.
Jared can sense the fulfillment of his destiny approaching as he rushes through the cobbled streets with his blue mage robes flapping behind him. The kingdom of Galdavia prizes the mage gift above all others.
And Jared takes pride in his abilities. He knows he belongs at the Mage-Lord's side.
Nothing can come between him and his rightful place...
Wayward Scribe:
An invading empire. A fallen kingdom. I watch from the shadows at our usurper's side as history repeats itself...
In a game of power and thrones, only a nameless, royal scribe stands to make the difference between the kingdom's uprising or complete submission. Death lies on both sides of the knife's edge.
And in this game, only the victor can claim to know hero from traitor.
The God's Eye:
Raena never could turn down a challenge.
Tales of her exploits travel across the land in soft whispers. The finest thief in Midnight Reach.
Only the most intriguing (and high-paying) jobs appeal to her. The more challenging, the better. She holds herself above those of her kind who might do any dirty job for a bit of coin.
No risk, no reward, after all…
