Tiffany D. Jackson is the critically acclaimed author of Allegedly, Monday’s Not Coming, and Let Me Hear a Rhyme. Her most recent best-seller, Grown – inspired by the R. Kelly case -- shone a spotlight on predatory behavior and the biases faced by young black women. Now, Tiffany is back with her highly anticipated new YA novel, White Smoke.

The chilling psychological thriller White Smoke combines supernatural scares with real-life themes surrounding racial prejudice and blended families. Described as “The Haunting of Hill House” meets “Get Out,” White Smoke tells the story of Marigold who moves with her newly blended family to the midwestern town of Cedarville. The picture-perfect home isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Household items vanish, doors open on their own, shadows walk past rooms, voices can be heard in the walls, and there’s a foul smell seeping through the vents only Marigold seems to notice. As the house closes in, Marigold learns that the danger isn’t limited to her home. Cedarville has its secrets, too. And secrets always find their way through the cracks.

A Walter Dean Myers Honor Book and Coretta Scott King John Steptoe New Talent Award winner, NYC native Tiffany D. Jackson received her Bachelor of Arts in film from Howard University, her Master of Arts in media studies from the New School, and has more than a decade in TV/Film experience.

“Jackson conjures horrors both supernatural and otherwise in a masterful juxtaposition of searing social commentary and genuinely creepy haunts, as well as providing an authentic portrayal of tensions within a blended family.”— Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW
