My Story
Jess was born in London, UK, in 1989, and grew up in Cheshire. She now lives in South Wales with her husband and children.
She has been writing since childhood, from stories scribbled in crayon to two self-published poetry books that are both unfindable and unforgettable for all the wrong reasons. No matter how hard anyone looks, they will never track them down (although Jess might one day release a few of the less cringe-worthy poems... maybe)
Her writing has always leaned towards the darker side of emotion, drawing vivid and honest feelings from her own experiences growing up.
Jess is currently studying for Masters in Law having gained a 2:1 in her Law degree in 2025. She is due to graduate in 2028. She plans to one day move to England. Her previous dreams of being a lawyer were killed by a drunk driver in 2022 who left her with permanent disability. She fell in love again with writing whilst recovering from spinal surgery.
When she is not writing, Jess enjoys board games, Tudor history, murder podcasts, punch needling, and DIY projects (which she admits she is bad at but unstoppable in trying, especially since being bought a cricut for her birthday). She and her husband, Simon have been married for two years and are still saving for their honeymoon to Mexico. They hope to welcome a dog into their family once they move to a bigger house.
Her debut novel, Some Girls Drown, was published in 2025
PSYCHOLOGICAL FICTION
LITTLE LOST DOE
One winter morning, a woman walks away from her family without a word, and nothing is ever the same again.
In the years that follow, her absence weaves itself into the lives of those she left behind, shaping choices they do not fully understand and leaving wounds that refuse to close. Her eldest daughter, now grown, is adrift in a world that feels both familiar and foreign, stumbling through the ruins of a childhood that never had the chance to heal.
Told with quiet intensity and emotional precision, Little Lost Doe is a haunting exploration of abandonment, memory, and the invisible threads that tie us to the people we lose. It is a story about the questions that go unanswered, the ache of not knowing, and the fragile hope that somewhere, somehow, there is still a way forward.
