Hurd book jacket image_edited.jpg

"Without Jacqui as a co-writer in this endeavor, it wouldn’t have happened. She helped organize my thoughts, instigated the process of writing and held my hand when I was obsessing over little things. Our weekly Zoom calls will become one of the positive things I remember from the pandemic. I can’t thank Jacqui enough for making this dream a reality."

--Former U.S. Rep. Will Hurd

"Brims with personality." "Compelling." "Sweeping." "Hurd is a strong storyteller."

--The Dispatch

"Splices together riveting tales." "Compelling." 

--The Atlantic

"Operation Dark Heart offers a rare glimpse behind the bureaucratic veil that cloaks information the government considers too important for public airing."

--New York Times

"Jacqui was able to comprehend and translate complex, highly technical military and intelligence concepts. She made sense of the jargon and chaos so that a reader could understand the world of Special Operations and clandestine intelligence collection. She always focused on including the human aspects of situations that were emotionally charged and high stress. I could not recommend her more as a collaborative partner."

--Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer (Ret.)

"I came to Jacqui without any experience or understanding of how to turn my dream of publishing my memoir into reality. She had a thorough knowledge of this complicated process and, wonderfully, was always willing to listen and guide me along the way. I could not have found a better partner."
