Jazzy Mitchell
“Madam President if You Please….Usually political books aren’t my thing but I adore how Ms Mitchell writes so I knew I would read this too. I was really impressed by this book. That being said, of course it was well written, how could it not be? It kept and held my attention and while I had to pause for real life while reading, the story was never far from my mind. I loved seeing Maggie’s journey from her rough and neglected childhood, into her teen and college years where she struggled to find herself, often with just as much pain as her childhood held. Then we were shown her beginnings with her wife Helen all as her looking back while writing her memoire. In the current time she is a busy Senator who is running for president. We get to see the inner workings, her interactions with staff, friends and other politicians, all of it with the support and love of her wife. It was such a good story!! While this is not a romance, I did enjoy the strong physical relationship she and Helen share. Not just because I like the sexy bits but it added so much for me. I loved how even though they are older women (well, not to me lol) and insanely busy, they still desired each other and made time for that part of their relationship. It warmed my heart! There isn’t anything I didn’t like in this wonderful book and it is one of those books I wish would come true! SO well done!! 5.0 out of 5 stars by Ameliah Faith VINE VOICE for Undertow

She taught English for a decade to inner-city, underprivileged middle school and high school students, giving back to her hometown and the school system which helped her. During that time, she encouraged countless students to express themselves through their writing by exploring their artistic sides. Law school drove the creativity out of her, but over time her artistic instincts reasserted themselves. Through the years, she has taught adults about ethics and the law and, through the Lightarian Institute, energy work.
Jazzy has seven published works with more in production. She lives in the PNW with her wife, children, and sassy dog.
