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. Publishing via Amazon's KDP was easier than I had anticipated and although I did have some teething problems with my first paperback, I had no issues with my second book.

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. It can be dangerous if I'm cooking. I had flooded our previous neighbours a few times, when we lived in a flat. Now I have a wet room and live in a house, so I don't have to worry about flooding my home or anyone elses. Burning the dinner, because I've forgotten that I'm cooking it, will seem like nothing, if I ever burn more than just the food.

I hope you all enjoyed reading Caught In The Crossfire,  or that you will enjoy it, once you get around to it, on your TBR. 

Get Back Bradley, a novella, is also now available. 

Both of my books are available to read on Kindle or purchase, from the links on my bibliography page.

Thank you for reading read my books. 

Love & Light
