Disaster Relief Broadcast Bio:

Every year we are affected by at least one natural disaster that significantly impacts the lives of some fellow Americans. Whether it’s a hurricane or wildfire, the loss that follows is devastating. In the midst of the destruction left behind once the fires subside or when the storm moves on, every day citizens emerge as heroes to families in desperate need. Jacqueline Lloyd is one such hero. The author of The Thief of Sacred devotes much of her time to rescuing others – whether it’s a family who lost everything to a fire or a horse scheduled for slaughter. Though her compassion alone might be enough to propel her to “expert" status, Jacqueline is a tireless researcher, compiling data from interviews with U.S. officials and declassified government documents to support her books which feature heroine Zella Brooks. The information she gathers also serves to strengthen her outlook on government and its role in natural disaster assistance. You can find out more about Jacqueline Lloyd and The Thief of Sacred at www.JacquelineLloyd.com. Welcome, Jacqueline.

 

Metaphysical Broadcast Bio:
What grade would you give humanity? How have we succeeded as a civilization, and how have we failed? What can we do to improve? Is it as simple as individually taking responsibility? Jacqueline Lloyd is a metaphysical teacher and author who is encouraging people to “take back their power” in all things – from their own lives to how much we depend on others, such as the government. Jacqueline considers responsibility to be the next step of our evolution. Welcome, Jacqueline. Explain what you mean by “taking responsibility.”

 

Indigo Children Broadcast Bio:
In 2004 around one out of every 10 boys ages 3 to 17 were reported to have been diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder by a doctor or other health professional, according to the CDC. It seems as though every other child you encounter has been tagged as “hyperactive,” if not by a health professional, by a teacher or even a parent. Where is this coming from? Preservatives? Pesticides? Or are these children here for a reason? Jacqueline Lloyd is an expert in Indigo Children and an author who believes these special children have a very important role to play in the next phase of our evolution. Welcome, Jacqueline.

 

Full Bio:

Jacqueline Lloyd was born and raised in San Francisco. At the tender age of ten, she was deeply affected by the brutal assassinations of then Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk. Senator Dianne Feinstein’s servitude as Moscone’s replacement inspired Lloyd’s creation of Zella Brooks, the Vice President and main character in the novel she would spend the next decade or so researching and writing, The Thief of Sacred.

 

Lloyd devoted her time to investigation – talking with U.S. officials, scrutinizing declassified government documents, studying global peace and conflict resolution as she attended USC. She left USC with degrees in English and creative writing.

 

The first Gulf War helped inspireThief. Lloyd’s take on the United States’ response to the invasion of Kuwait and her attentiveness to the war as it played out is reflected in her book. Centered around Vice President Zella Brooks’ actions and experiences following the assassination of the President, Thief is really about trust – who can the President and Vice President trust, and who can the public trust, if not the entities we hold “sacred”?

 

Lloyd is currently working on the sequel to Thief which is set after a devastating natural disaster and features heroine, Zella Brooks. Lloyd is again “knee-deep” in research as she compiles the data she needs to back-up the story that unfolds each day for her characters.

 

In addition to “author,” Lloyd is a wife, mother to one daughter, animal lover and activist, community activist, political junkie, and tireless crusader for families in need in and around her home in southern California. Her ranch is a sanctuary for rescued horses (like Fia, a former PMU foal pictured above) and other animals.

 

Lloyd is active in local politics and holds strong opinions on the federal government and its role in disaster relief. She is a passionate proponent of recreating government so that it serves its citizens, not special interests, and encourages people to become involved in the process. Lloyd is an excellent source for stories related to natural disasters, especially California wildfires.
