B.E. Jackson grew up among story tellers—writers, actors, and musicians—and learned early the importance of treating an artistic career like the business that it is. After receiving a degree in Psychology, she pivoted to helping people recover from trauma and addiction through equine-assisted activities at her ranch in rural Arizona. In 2012, she published a how-to/memoir on her life with animals, entitled Herdmates to Heartmates: The Art of Bonding with a New Horse. She is currently working on two novels.
