Jackie Dishner, a former construction magazine editor for McGraw-Hill, writes from Phoenix. She specializes in business, design, the healing arts and travel. She got her start writing about Arizona travel in 1999. That’s when her story, featuring a former Hollywood stunt man from Yuma, appeared in Arizona Highways. You can find more of her work there, as well as in AAA magazines, This Old House, Fast Company, The Writer, various trade publications, and…in several piles stacked in a closet back home–She’s been at this a while. Backroads & Byways of Arizona, released October 2009, is her first book. She attributes the more than 1,000 copies sold in the first few months after release to promotion she’s done via the social media networks. Conversing online with more than 2,500 tweeple, more than 300 Facebook friends and LinkedIn connections, Jackie also participates in 50 different LinkedIn Groups. After that, she still finds time to blog regularly for her approximately 2,000 subscribers of BIKE WITH JACKIE. On each of them, you can be sure she writes about her book.
