Hi Readers,

I'm Jay Word and I write under a pen name. I'll tell you my reason, one day. I have always wanted to write a book and finally started and finished a manuscript in 2022, after many abandoned attempts, over the years. In 2023, my health deteriorated rapidly, my legs stopped working and I became a full-time wheelchair user. 

I decided to self publish because I'm forty-two years old and I've learned to stop putting things off, because I may be unable, to do tomorrow, all that I am capable of doing today. I had some teething problems to begin with, but I have learned a lot, and I love the freedom of being able to write what I want, and publish when I like.

I was diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder in the summer of 2023; a disorder that has effected every part of my body and not just physically. I now have a five second memory span, and start many tasks at once sometimes, because I forget that I'm already doing something. At the end of 2024, I was told I may never walk again.

In June 2024, my home and all my possessions were destroyed in an accidental fire. I lived in hotels for nearly five months, and writing got me through that trauma, just as it's helping me get over traumas from long ago.

If I don't write, I just don't feel right.

As of April 2025, I have now self-published two novels, three novellas and a poetry book. Two further fiction books are underway, a poetry series is coming, too, with the first installment releasing on 11th May 2025.

I have received 100 ratings on Goodreads, and I'm really happy with my journey as a writer.

Find my books at the Books Direct From Author section of this website, Amazon, Waterstones and Barnes & Noble.

They are all currently free to read with a Kindle Unlimited description. 

Thank you for reading read my books, and supporting my author journey. 

Love & Light
