Jamie Lisa Forbes was raised on a ranch on the Little Laramie River thirty miles west of Laramie, Wyoming. Like many Wyoming children of her generation, she attended a one-room schoolhouse during her early school years. She received a degree in Philosophy and English from the University of Colorado in 1977. In January 1979, Ms. Forbes and her husband returned to the Little Laramie Valley where, for fifteen years, they ran the family ranch and raised two children. The Forbes family ranch was sold in 1993 and Ms. Forbes then moved to Greensboro, North Carolina. She began writing her first novel, Unbroken, while in law school. In 2011, Unbroken won the WILLA Literary Award for best outstanding contemporary fiction about women in the West. Her short story collection, The Widow Smalls and Other Stories, published by Pronghorn Press in 2014, won the 2015 High Plains Book Awards, short story category. Her second novel, Eden, was published in 2020. She is currently working on a new novel.
