Jay fell into writing as a teenager, tempted by the dark world of fanfiction, but it wasn’t until they hit their thirties that they started seriously writing original works. They have an historical tendency towards science fiction, although lately they have broadened their horizons; his contemporary romance Keep It In The Family published in February 2023 and their fantasy debut, The House Of Mages, releases in autumn 2025. Their stories are the ones they wished they could have read as a teenager, when as the only queer kid with lesbian mums in school, he often struggled to find characters he could identify with. Their motto is that everyone should be able to find themselves on the page of a book, no matter who they are. Outside of writing they enjoy theatre, music and dancing and sitting in the garden of a pub. They have two children without fur and one with.
