Deborah Jay writes fast-paced fantasy adventures featuring quirky characters and multi-layered plots – just what she likes to read.
Fortunate to live near Loch Ness in the majestic, mystery-filled Scottish Highlands with her partner and a pack of rescue dogs, she can often be found lurking in secluded glens and forests, researching locations for her books. Her taste for the good things in life is kept in check by the expense of keeping too many dressage horses, and her complete inability to cook.
THE PRINCE’S MAN is her debut novel; first in a trilogy and winner of a UK Arts Board award. Book #2, THE PRINCE'S SON, and #3, THE PRINCE'S PROTEGE, are also available, with the concluding book of the quartet, THE PRINCE'S HEIR due out on December 1

Now readers expect books faster than that, and I just can't do it. I've tried, believe me, but my creative clock seems set to come up with all the ideas I need for a novel over a one year period, and it's not showing any signs of speeding up.(less)

Call it 'muse' if you will - if it's present, the only restriction on speed is how fast I can type. If it isn't, it's like wading through treacle.(less)

#BookReview – THE PALACE OF LOST MEMORIES by C.J. Archer #historicalfantasy #fantasy

I read this one back in December, but held off writing my review until I’d read the entire series – always a good sign! I did read one or two other books in between, but always purchased the next in this 6 book series as soon as I’d finished the previous one. The setting is … … Continue reading → Read more of this blog post »

“It’s just as well I’m not claustrophobic. Even so, being held captive in a bottle was not how I’d planned to spend my weekend. It was also one of the most undignified positions I’ve ever been in; a water sprite can be squished down pretty small, but it doesn’t mean we enjoy the process.”
Deborah Jay, Desprite Measures
