Bio:
|
Jassy Mackenzie is from a family where books weren’t just more important than television, they were so important that television was banned from the house.
Jassy is the second youngest of five daughters. Her mother Ann Mackenzie was a well-known short story writer in her day. Jassy’s sister Vicky Jones, who lives in New Zealand, is a prize-winning author of children’s books.
Jassy loves the energy, danger and excitement of Johannesburg, and believes there is no better place for a thriller writer to live.
Jassy herself has been hijacked at gunpoint outside her home, and had her car taken from her by force. When she was younger and less sensible, she had an uncanny knack of choosing unsavoury boyfriends who were involved in everything from cocaine dealing to smuggling.
She is 38 years old and lives in Kyalami with her wonderful partner Dion, two horses and two cats. Random Violence is her first novel. Her second, Gangsters' Paradise, is almost complete.
