Jay Word writes emotionally charged thrillers with themes of crime, trauma, and dysfunctional families. Word shows how unlikely relationships can be formed through victimisation. The mothers in her stories have their own issues, and we see how these can affect their parenting.

Nobody can be trusted in the worlds that Word creates and real-life problems like crime, corruption, and child abuse are explored with diverse and inclusive characters.

Word tells her stories from the perspective of the victims and perpetrators, and she does this well. You will question everyone and everything after reading a book written by Jay Word.

Word also writes poetry. This form of writing preceeded her fiction, but it was only after losing years of unseen work

Mummy's Boy

Mummy's Boy was published this week. I would really love some new reads and reviews. Please and thank you. This book contains a content warning as the foreword and may not be suitable for some readers, but for those of you that can indulge in the darkness of the world, precariously, please give Mummy’s Boy a try. There's a triumphant sequel brewing. x

Quotes by Jay Word  (?)

“My mother died recently,
but I lost her years ago.
I never really felt like I had her,
barely any affection did she show.
I grieved her whilst she lived,
because our relationship was dead,
so now that she’s really gone,
I mourn the love
I wish we’d had instead.”
Jay Word, Rhyme, Reason & Heal
