RJ Verity grew up in Yorkshire and studied at King’s College London before spending more than twenty years working in financial services across Asia. She now lives in Guernsey with her endlessly patient husband and their ageing but ever-spirited Labradinger. When she’s not writing or reading, she can often be found exploring the island’s rugged coastline.

RJ writes character-driven historical fiction rooted in place, memory, and the social and personal forces that shape ordinary lives. Her debut novel, Poole of Light, opens The Poole Legacy – a historical trilogy exploring ambition, identity and reinvention across generations.

Readers can also discover the companion short story, Bright Light, which reached #1 in multiple Amazon categories.

Poole of Light and Bright Light are available now.

The second novel in the series, Poole of Honour, will be released in 2026.
