About Jacquie


            Jacquie McRae (Tainui) lives in Te Arai Northland with her husband and has three adult sons. She has twice been a Pikihuia award finalist with her stories published in their short story collections. She received a place on the inaugural Te Papa Tupu scheme that mentors emerging writers and now is one of the mentors on this program.
Her first novel ‘The Scent of apples,’ won a gold medal in the 2012 Independent Publisher Book Awards in New York. It was selected by the International Youth Library in Munich and received a White Ravens label. She is included in the anthology "Nga Hau e Wha," Stories on the four winds, a collection of short stories from eighteen of New Zealand's accomplished writers. She has a Masters in Creative writing with first class honours. In 2017 she ran a sold out workshop at the Raglan readers and writers festival which encouraged people to write.
She was awarded a Michael king residency in 2018 and is currently working on a historical novel about the illicit whisky trade. Her new novel "The Liminal space" will be published the end of 2020.
