Gloria Jacobs

Gloria Jacobs weaves roots and stories together. She teaches languages, tends to stubborn plants, and writes tales that blossom between reality and imagination. In her works, everyday life mingles with poetic suggestions, irony, and surreal fragments, exploring the subtle boundaries between what is real and what is dreamed.

Her writing moves within the realm of contemporary magical realism, where the symbolic dimension intertwines with daily life and the invisible speaks to the real. Her characters inhabit inner landscapes of transition, change, and transformation. Sometimes humorous, sometimes melancholic, they carry with them memories, fears, and universal desires.

She is the author of the series The Threshold Tales, where each book opens a door onto a different narrative garden — a mosaic of lives, atmospheres, and symbols inviting readers to look beneath the surface. Her stories are born from the meeting of thought and nature, from the wish to turn deep questions into accessible and engaging narratives.

She loves the sea and the natural world, and nurtures a passion for the human sciences, psychology, and readings that explore the workings of the mind and human behavior. She believes there is no journey more fascinating than the one that unfolds through truly knowing another human being.

She lives with her family, surrounded by plants, words, and an imaginary company that reminds her every day that stories are seeds, ready to sprout wherever they find fertile ground.
