J M Forrest

J Merrill Forrest is a Wiltshire-based author, whose deep interest in the afterlife and the in-between is a major theme in her writing. For more than thirty years Jane has researched her subject, hunting down evidence with an open and questioning mind by talking to psychics and mediums. At age 40 Jane followed her dream of going to university and gained a BA (Hons) in English Literature, and returned to academia a decade later to gain her MA in Creative Writing. It was during this time she began to work on her novel ‘Flight of the Kingfisher’' (first published in 2015 with a new edition published July 2020), which deals with the emotive and sometimes polarising subject of life after death and introduces psychic medium Alex Kelburn. He returns in 'Walk in the Afterlight', (previously published as 'The Waiting Gate') which features a missing girl, family estrangement, and dementia (published October 2020). She has also written a fundraising book for Guide Dogs for the Blind, 'Born to be a Life Changer: A Guide Dog Puppy's First Year' published March 2021. Her next novel, 'Orders From Above', due out on 1st June 2021, switches genre to humorous fantasy.
