N.C. Campbell is originally from a tiny town called Alva in the Hillfoots, although no one knows where that is, so she usually says she’s from Stirling. And if people don’t know where that is she’s from Glasgow, or in the direst circumstances, Edinburgh. She recently completed a degree in English with Creative Writing at the University of Aberdeen, and she is now making her way in the adult world filled with work, responsibilities, and council tax. When she’s not writing she can be found in the kitchen, partially following recipes and making a mess, in tiny coffee shops pretending not to people watch, and planning her next round the world trip.
Trinity-Rose is a passionate young author from Hampshire, UK. She first started writing when she was ten years old and hasn’t stopped since. Her debut novel, Hell’s Daughter, was published when she was only sixteen and Hell’s Key was published a year later. Her love for writing came from reading about the unique worlds other authors would create and wishing to do the same. In her spare time, Trinity-Rose enjoys listening to true crime podcasts, teaching her two adorable border collies tricks and re-watching her favourite TV shows.

Ruth grew up in a village near Cambridge, enjoying country life but with access to a vibrant university city.
Her mother was a keen cook who made classic dishes which Ruth still makes today. It was only when she signed up for a two year catering course that she realised how much she enjoyed cooking and all things food related, and then went on to do a specialist patisserie course.
Ruth has spent her entire life in the food industry, managing catering contracts, running her own restaurants and outside catering companies and her own cookery school.
Diagnosed with incurable ovarian cancer she knew she wanted to pass on her love of cooking and her recipes to her children and also friends who were always asking how she made different dishes. Macmillan cancer charity has been a great support during her various treatments, and by giving the proceeds from this book to the charity she hopes it will continue to support others through their battle with the disease.
Catherine Grace was a journalist, wrote computer tutorials, and worked international corporate events, her creative outlet was always creating stories. Inspired by one of her professors she decided to put pen-to-paper or in her case fingertips to keyboard and write what she loves - mysteries.
The reason she selected Jasami Publishing Ltd to assist with her first publication is that it aligned with her personal ethos, to give back to the community. Catherine resides in Scotland.
Freedom grew up around storytellers, men and women of Romany origin, who would tell tales of people and traditions long since lost to annals of time. It was only natural that she too would weave tales, only hers would be noted down with paper and ink, rather than by word of mouth. Freedom lives in rural Hampshire UK with a hotchpotch of family members, ponies, chickens and wonky bookshelves. When she's not curled up with her laptop and a cup of tea, she enjoys crocheting, period dramas and fantasy TV shows.
Born in a small village in the North of Scotland before moving to the tough east-end of Glasgow at a young age, Simpson Munro became hardened to the gang culture of the 1960s. He had no interest in that culture. Later in life his close friends were deeply entrenched in careers in the emergency services, his own life being in the Civil Service.
Simpson prefers the quiet life back where he was born. Glasgow will always be his home, especially the east end with its very special people, its tenements, and busy roads. His friends will always be his friends over fifty years down the road of life. His only ambition in life now is to take Andy Blackmore into retirement..... then, like himself, drift into anonymity.
After Art School in Aberdeen, Graham Murdoch decided he wanted to be a cartoonist. Much to his surprise, he and his chum Davie got a grant from the Scottish Arts Council to produce long form Comic Books. Graham eventually sent their parody of Black Bob to up and coming Viz Comic where the strip became quite a success over the next few years. Nothing lasts forever and Graham moved on to providing training illustrations for the Oil Industry. Graham always wanted to produce illustrated adventure stories for kids. The tale of the first airship flight from Scotland to North America caught his imagination so he adapted this story for adventurous young readers and thanks to the folks at Jasami Publishing you can read it soon.
Born and raised in Glasgow Gordon’s family left the Gorbals when he was four and moved to Toryglen. Like many other boys his ambition was to be a professional football player, however, like many other boys it did not quite work out that way. So he became an apprentice engraver and attended night school at the Glasgow School of Art for two years. During this time, he worked in Glasgow engraving and key cutting where he met and married Anne. They travelled Britain before finally settling down in Stirlingshire. They have two children, four grandchildren, and are now both retired. Considering the COVID Restrictions to be an imprisonment he began writing poetry about his thoughts, experiences and travels around the world. Thankfully it kept him sane! And hopefully the words will ring true to those who have worked to keep their sense of humour and resilience during this time

Originally from Durban, South Africa Sheralee, her husband Gary and young daughter Keryn moved to Namibia where they stayed for almost six years. Always having had a love for nature and God’s beautiful creatures, Namibia provided the opportunity for the Ryan family to experience wildlife first hand. For the first two years, they lived in a cottage on a fish farm on the Zambezi River. In 2015 the family moved on to Gobabis, 200 kilometres east of Windhoek where they were involved with the Gobabis Animal Rescue, helping and caring for animals in need. At the end of 2018, they moved to Kalumbila, North West Province of Zambia where their interaction with nature continues and where possible they have assisted injured animals, to rehabilitate and release them back to the wild. Charlie’s amazing personality inspired Sheralee to write his story.

B.D. Wilberforce is best characterised by his optimistic enthusiasm and curiosity for life; maintaining the mantra that to appreciate the quality of the present moment is one of life’s more important practices. To help achieve this, he adores delving into expansive thought by enjoying many a serene evening exploring the passions, hobbies, and ideals of his friends and family. It is from these conversations, generally encouraged by a glass of red wine, that Wilberforce builds many of the emotional experiences which form the touchstones of his novels. People, and the way in which they inhabit their time, are the essence of his writing style, and ensuring that authentic voices are heard by the reader is a pivotal focus. Wilberforce’s life is fuelled by meaningful friends, classic novels, and dashing runs, although he never feels more at peace than when he is on the summit of a Scottish mountain in the Highlands.

Andy was born in Clydebank which is located just on the outskirts of Glasgow. Although he has moved around at heart he still identifies himself as a Bankie. He’s always had a keen interest in the arts, picking up his first bass guitar at the age of fifteen and then playing in local bands for most of the 1990’s. He recorded a series of demos and EPs culminating in a weekly headline slot at The Arena in Glasgow as well as a stint in Nice n Sleezy’s.
However, it is his expression through writing which provided a means of escape. His range runs from novels and short stories to the intrinsic and passionate poetry which supported him through many personal tragedies and difficult times.

Steve Logan grew up in Pontymister, South Wales. He is a poet and rock musician. He has held appointments in English at the universities of Oxford, Cardiff and Cambridge. His latest album is Psych Ward.
Steve’s father, by day a lorry driver, was by night a singer in the Irish clubs around Newport. After his mother moved to London, Steve remained in the care of guardians until, at the age of eleven, he was sent to boarding school. Years later, feeling displaced and confused, Steve trained in psychotherapy at The Philadelphia Association in Hampstead, founded by R. D. Laing.
Steve says: ’I’ve written songs and poems since my early teens. Once I’d left Oxford, gone to work at Cardiff university, left there for Cambridge and most importantly met my wife, I began to write poems and music in earnest to save my life. My aim in either case is to sing my heart out.’

In these poems, Steve celebrates the landscape, culture and people involved in the education of his heart. He evokes a Wales of the imagination, as real as any scene of post-industrial decline.
The poems in Heartlands follow Steve from the South Wales valleys, to a boarding school in Berkshire, The Working Men’s College In London and then to teaching jobs in Oxford, Cardiff and Cambridge. They study in an intimate personal way the effects of cultural displacement
Sidestepping some of the dominant trends in postmodernist writing, Heartlands is written in an vulnerable, open and accessible style. This its a deliberate act of homage to people whose eloquence was as much beyond words as in them.

Avril grew up in Perth, Scotland, leaving school at 16 to work in the British Linen Bank where she met her husband, Bill. Her love of writing began at school where she was published for the first time, one of her poems appearing in the school magazine, The Young Barbarian. She also won first prize in a poetry competition in Year 4, spurring her on to continue writing both poetry and prose over the years.
Joining Girlguiding UK in the late 1980’s, Avril was offered the opportunity to visit a Guide World Centre in Pune, India and so began a love affair with India, a passion that has remained with her to the present day. Travelling extensively through India, Avril and her Guiding friends encountered the problems of child trafficking, inspiring them to help in the rescue of young children, offspring of the trafficked women working in the brothels of Pune. This led to copious fundraising to raise money to build a children’s Centre, allowing the youngsters to live in safety, away from the violence of the red light area.

Dr. Suman Sudra, a paediatrician working at a Government Hospital in Kolkata, India is asked to treat a child she suspects has been a victim of human trafficking. The child has been plucked to safety by a local rag-picker, from the 56 acres of rubbish that is Dhapa Landfill Site in Kolkata.
When a second child in similar circumstances is brought into the children’s ward, her suspicions are confirmed.
This takes her into the murky, dangerous world of child trafficking, a place she knows only too well. Her quest to track down the trafficking ring responsible takes her back into their nefarious hands.
Can she, for the second time in her life, escape their clutches?
