About Jina Bacarr
I discovered early on that I inherited the gift of the gab from my large Irish family when I penned a story about a princess who ran away to Paris with her pet turtle Lulu. I was twelve.
I grew up listening to their wild, outlandish tales and it was those early years of storytelling that led to my love of history and traveling.
I enjoy writing to classical music with a hot cup of java by my side. I adore dark chocolate truffles, vintage anything, the smell of bread baking and rainy days in museums. I’ve always loved walking through history—from Pompeii to Verdun to Old Paris. The voices of the past speak to me through carriages with cracked leather seats, stiff ivory-colored crinolines, and worn satin slippers. I’ve always wondered what it was like to walk in those slippers when they were new.

Thank you, Marianne, for having me as September Featured Author! I love the cover for THE ORPHANS OF BERLIN… inspired by real events (the French Kindertransport) and my own personal story…
You’re very welcome. I love the cover for The Orphans of Berlin. When it I saw it for the first time, I actually said, “Ohhhhhh.” Can’t wait to read it.
