When a whale dies its body provides nourishment for thousands of deep-sea creatures. Join us as we explore the ocean depths and meet the fascinating creatures found at a whale fall. Some exist nowhere else. All have unique adaptations that allow them to survive and thrive in one of the coldest, darkest environments on our planet. Among the diners you'll meet are sleeper sharks and hagfish (first to answer the dinner bell), zombie worms (also called bone-eating snot worms), and roly-polys as big as a housecat. It's an adventure you won't want to miss!

Welcome to my website! I've been writing poems, stories and articles since childhood, thanks to my mother who patiently took "dictation". My fascination with the natural world and the amazing people who live in it has given me a plethora of subjects to explore and write about.
On my website you'll find information about me, the books and articles I've written, my author presentations, the Mackinac Bridge, and the fascinating undersea world of whale falls.

Kim Nowack, former Chief Engineer and current Executive Secretary for the Mackinac Bridge, has this to say about Mighty Mac, The Bridge That Michigan Built:
"Jacquie Sewell’s book, “Mighty Mac, The Bridge that Michigan Built” is an easy to understand book that describes how the bridge was engineered and built. It takes the reader from the early 1900’s when the bridge was just an idea, up to the present day. Her descriptions are accurate and well organized. There is a nice balance of beautiful pictures and well worded narration. I would recommend Jacquie’s book for anyone wanting to learn more about the Mackinac Bridge and its history. "
Mari G, on staff at the Capital Area District Library in Lansing, Michigan, chose Mighty Mac for one of her staff picks. Here's what she had to say:
Give it up for the Mighty Mac! (and the Gismo & the Creeper!)
"Local author Jacquie Sewell does an outstanding job presenting the history behind the construction of the mighty Mackinac Bridge. Michigan’s lower and upper peninsulas are separated by four miles of water (The Straits of Mackinac). Back in the day it was widely believed a bridge spanning the gap between the two sides could never be built. And yet visionary UP resident and businessman Prentiss M. Brown along with the expert design of notable bridge builder, David Steinman, found a way to raise the bridge above the water. It opened to Michigan traffic in 1957. What is the Gismo? What is the Creeper? The answers are in this slim book, perfect for any family or child curious about the incredible story behind the Mighty Mac Bridge. "
