Advance Praise for My Headdress Is On Fire...

 

"To read Heather’s stories is to know her. My Headdress is on Fire is like a long-overdue catch up with a dear friend. From the beginning I was enraptured; at times in stitches, occasionally in tears, but always contentedly floating in her candid nostalgia. A delightful peek into the unique American life and clever head-space of a fiery girl turned gloriously uninhibited woman!"

— Laura Goldfarb, Founder of Red Boot PR & Radio Host on BTRtoday

"HEATHER JACKS IS A THIEF! She stole my heart from Flannery O’ Connor quicker than Mr. Priest’s waxed hair flew across the room! Lessons learned from MY HEADDRESS IS ON FIRE:

-That having “not one drop of (whatever) blood...” doesn’t mean shit to a tree.

- Men have real utility in spite of themselves.

- The best things in life are not only free but unexpectedly beautiful.

- It’s OK, even desirable to be “dramatically different”. 

The stories will put a smile on your lips, a tear in your eye and a resolve to read it over and over …"

"In the end, shouldn't we celebrate everything (life) is—not everything it isn't?" sums up the humorous and reflective memories of Heather Jacks in 'My Headdress is on Fire.' Jacks labels each chapter as a life lesson from a person, place, or experience of her past, sharing memories ranging from time spent growing up on Indian Land to touring with Monsters of Rock and Twisted Death. Who knew that you could learn important life lessons from Axl Rose, Roller Skating in the Outback, Malibu Barbie, a Brazilian Wax or a House of Punk Rockers? Jacks’ has embraced each moment of her life and shares it vividly in her unique personal journey."
