J. M. Forrest

J Merrill Forrest is a Wiltshire-based author, whose deep interest in the paranormal is a major theme in her writing. At age 40 Jane followed her dream of going to university and gained a BA (Hons) in English Literature, and returned ten years later and achieved an MA in Creative Writing. Her novels ‘Flight of the Kingfisher’ and ‘Walk in the Afterlight’ (previously published as 'The Waiting Gate') deal with the emotive and sometimes polarising subject of life after death Her latest novel, ‘Orders From Above’, coming June 2021, is a change of genre, moving from supernatural drama to humorous fantasy, where angels wreak havoc in a sleepy Wiltshire village. Jane is also a volunteer for Guide Dogs for the Blind and in March 2021 released a book from which she is donating all profits to the charity. Called 'Born to be a Life Changer: A Guide Dog Puppy's First Year', it is a humorous and informative book written from the point of view of Guide Dog 'Buddy', as he dips into his puppy diary. https://www.jmerrillforrest.com
