Jae Malone

Jae was born in West London but spent most of her childhood in Dorset where a visit to Wookey Hole caves sparked her interest in the myths of Mendip Hills and an English Literature teacher encouraged Jae in her first attempts at writing. Later, returning to the West Country – this time Somerset, near Glastonbury and Wells – she again fell in love with the area and the thread of a story was born.

Later, Jae met and married her second husband, David, and lived in Dumfries for six years before moving again to Nottingham where the family have lived ever since. Jae has two adult children, Rachel and Greg and two grandchildren, Erin (now 22 years old) and Finn (11 years) were born to Rachel and Greg has a 2½ year old son, Ace). Originally written in 2005, ‘Silver Linings’ under the pen-name of Karen Wright, Jae has now updated and re-edited the book and it has been re-released by New Generation Publishing; it is also available in Kindle format for the first time.

‘Silver Linings’ is the first volume of ‘The Winterne Series’ and will soon be followed by sequels ‘Queen of Diamonds’, ‘Fool’s Gold’ and ‘Avaroc Returns’. Jae has also written a historical prequel to this series which explains the backgrounds to a number of incidents mentioned in the earlier volumes – From Knight to Knave which was carefully researched for historical accuracy and was also published by New Generation Publishing in paperback, and by Amazon as Kindle versions. In November 2023, Jae published the final volume of the Winterne Series: ‘When Wolves Cry’ and this will shortly be available on Kindle. Please note: Reviews of ‘Silver Linings’ will refer to the author as Karen Wright.
