Chatting with Author Jamie Dossie

Jamie Dossie is the oldest daughter of three girls. Jamie was born and raised in Chicago

Illinois. She fell in love with urban novels, after her mom gave her a book by Terry McMillan

called-Mama. After reading that book she began to read another and noticed that the books

was similar to the life she was living or have seen others live. At that very moment she knew

that these were the kind of books she wanted to write someday. She could relate it moved her,

to want to write the same type of books she was intrigued that books were being written about

this urban life.

After the passing of her mom she began to write notebooks full of poems and short stories. She

knew it was a way to cope with her pain; she used this time to build her writing skills. As she

was growing up people didn’t express their dreams too often which made her shy away from

telling people that she wanted to be a well-known published author someday.

Jamie is always looking to improve her writing craft. She has a long list of great authors that she

would love to work with someday. She has written two books with one being published called

“Double Back.” She would like to tell everyone to always follow their dreams, if not someone

else will dream and live it for you. She is currently living in Chicago with her children and is

brain storming on her future projects. And she is currently working on “Double Back 3"
