Jaye Marie’s Books

Jaye Marie

I came to writing late but have always loved books.

My name is Jaye Marie, the ‘oily rag’ and half of the establishment that is https://jenanita01.com

I came to writing late but have always loved books. I think I trained to be a writer due to so many years of transcribing and editing my sister’s books.

When I was growing up, I wanted to be so many things, a doctor, a pianist, or an artist. In all my 79 years, I have had so many jobs and hobbies that my family call me Worzel Gummidge, convinced I have a selection of different heads in a cupboard somewhere!

I love to make things, whether it is something to wear, eat or simply enjoy looking at. These days, time is becoming my enemy, but I can still stretch it a bit when I need to!

I enjoy reading many different genres, so was very surprised to discover a passion for writing detective thrillers. Five of them to date, with more to follow, I’m sure.

I enjoy running our website/blog, and love meeting all the wonderful people who drop in to say hello!
