Author's Bio:

S.B. Jacob is a lawyer, author, community leader, and youth empowerment coach. Prior to pursuing a career in the literary field, she was a practicing attorney. She has worked as a researcher at a pharmaceutical company, as the Deputy General Counsel with the NYC Department of Juvenile Justice, and as an Assistant District Attorney with the Kings County District Attorney's Office. Jacob has also delved into the entertainment world, working as a co-host for a local cable television show.

Community service is a key theme in Jacob's life. In 2005, she formed NY TEMPO (New York Teens Empowering More People Onward), a youth group that brings teens together to produce their own newsletter and engage in community-building activities. To date, NY TEMPO volunteers have produced several newsletters; serviced a soup kitchen and performed other community work; held a Fashion Show as well as a Masquerade Ball; toured New York University; held an immensely successful Coat and Clothes Drive and more.

Jacob has also served as a Sunday school teacher and is an active member of her church. As a member of a team of international volunteers, she participated in a four-year project that created a library of high quality lending material for the Uzommiri Study Center in Enugu, Nigeria.

Even with her busy legal career and deep community involvement, Jacob has always managed to find time for writing short stories, poetry, and a journal of her experiences. She was twice a finalist in the New York Law Journal's Annual Fiction Contest; her short stories Prayer for Relief and The Bodega were ultimately published on the New York Law Journal's website.

Jacob is a soulful attorney with many stories to tell. Her deep spirituality opens up for her a mystical world of saints and goblins, angels and imps. Jacob brings her legal mind, spiritual eyes, and Catholic upbringing to the art of writing, endeavoring to reveal for her audience the world of mysticism that exists right over their shoulder.
