Award-winning author J.L. Oakley writes historical fiction that spans the mid-19th century to WW II with characters standing up for something in their own time and place.
Her writing has been recognized with a 2013 Bellingham Mayor’s Arts Award, the Chanticleer Grand Prize for Tree Soldier and Goethe Grand Prize for The Jøssing Affair, the 2018 Will Rogers Silver Medallion and two WILLA Silver Awards. The Jøssing Affair is a 2020 Military Writers Society of America Silver Medal winner. Her personal essays have been published widely.
When not writing, she demonstrates 19th century folkways, gardens and weaves. She lives in the Pacific Northwest, loves its history and writes every day. No matter what.
