Romance novelist Dixie Land Jakubsen brings a wealth of experience to her writing and to her latest venture as a publisher.

Born in Clinton, Iowa, Land and her high school sweetheart, Larry, have lived in North Carolina for nearly 40 years, where they raised their only son, Brad. For many years, Land, a registered nurse, devoted her time to her family, raising Brad and working with Larry in his contracting business. After Brad was grown and raising a family of his own, Land decided to pursue a dream she had set aside for years – to write a novel.

Ten years and seven books later, Land not only continues to weave stories that garner favorable reviews and recommendations from such publications as Our State Magazine and Writers’ Digest, she has launched her own publishing company, Alabaster Books, with partner David Shaffer. Only two years old, the company has published thirty books and continues to attract a growing number of authors.

Land is a founding member of the Triad Writers Roundtable and also helped organize the first Triad chapter of Sisters-in-Crime. In the fall of 2006, Land was recognized in FORSYTH WOMAN MAGAZINE as one of the region’s “Women on the Move.”
