J New

Award winning author,  J. New has had a lifelong love affair with storytelling in all its forms, so it was only natural that when the opportunity presented itself she would turn to writing books.

Adopted at six weeks old into a loving family, she grew up in a small, picturesque town in West Yorkshire surrounded by nature and with the river Wharfe on her doorstep. Books became her salvation when she found she could 'switch off real life' by immersing  herself in the stories, "I spent a good deal of time either in my own imagination or in someone else's."
