Jasami honours Chef Ruth and will continue to promote and sell her Cookbooks.

Her Bio:

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 

Holly Richards is an illustrator who studied at Falmouth University in Cornwall and is now based near the New Forest in the South of England.

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.

Dutch born, British writer who won't allow dyslexia to stop her from writing her stories.

Originally trained as a goldsmith/designer, she's travelled the world during her career as a flight attendant for over two decades during which she started writing on the encouragement of her husband.

Now, with her feet firmly on the ground, she focuses on looking after the bereaved and her novels.

She has a passion for art, music, languages & history, especially WW2 (though doesn't claim to be an expert in any of these), and a love of nature in it's many shapes.

Researched and written over thirty history segments for various programmes and walking tours.

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.

 Maureen was born and brought up in Glasgow. She is a nurse and midwife, but books and writing have always been a huge part of her life. After qualifying as a nurse, she went on to graduate with an M.A in Engsh Literature and Sociology at Glasgow University, returning in 1987 to study for a postgraduate Master of Nursing degree. Maureen has also worked in local radio, both in Edinburgh and Sligo, and particularly enjoyed creating short documentaries on a diverse range of subjects. 

Having met her husband, Martin, in Glasgow Central station while waiting for the London train, they relocated to the beautiful northwest of Ireland in 1991, the same year her third and youngest child was born. 

Maureen has taken part in various musical theatre productions and choirs in Sligo. She was also the musical director for The Markievicz Minstrels, a Community Services workplace choir, for the seven years before retiring as an assistant director of public health nursing, in 2020. 

Maureen has always written poetry, ditties, and songs, and has also written two short plays, but she is very excited about her first foray into long form fiction/memoir.

Chris was born in Edinburgh but has lived in various villages, towns and cities

around Scotland as well as a stint abroad. She has finally settled down, at least for now, in the beautiful coastal town of North Berwick. Reading voraciously throughout her life Chris embraces the joy of storytelling and the impact it can have on us mere mortals! There is nothing more pleasurable than losing yourself in a good book. A successful career as a nurse spanning over forty years has given her a rich experience of

humanity which is reflected in her writing. Having retired from the clinical environment a few years

ago Chris now has the time and focus for her creative writing. Her first book The Beckoning Cat

is a psychological crime drama set in Edinburgh.It draws from her life experiences and also her

vivid imagination. When not immersed in a book you will probably find Chris immersed in the sea instead or looking after her bees.

Harry not only performs comedy, he has written a great story.  He was born in Glasgow in 1968 and did not take to education, preferring to leave school as soon as possible and start work age 16, Having been on the tools all his life he had no idea he could write a book or pen poetry , After turning 60 and entering lockdown he used the down time to write this story that had been in his head for many years before and was now going to see the light of day Thanks to Jasami Publishing.

Mattie (Martha) was born in the East End of Glasgow and matured there. She revels in the place and the historical time in which she grew up - 1960s.

Employment was taken for granted and believed 'if you get fed up with job number one, just cross the road and get a better one'. 

With a couple of pals she went off to Canada for a couple of years which confirmed a life she had already enjoyed.  Her Canadian experience was a wee bit too nice for her and she went back to Glasgow with the proverbial 'bells on'. 

In due course, she married her friend of yesteryear and off they went with their three children to South Africa in 1975; just at the beginning-of-the-end of Apartheid - great times!

Husband Jack (Scottish Accountant) was offered a position with huge company in Toronto which lasted for about five years and then voila!! In 1984 Australia beckoned. The rest is all about positivity. Mattie chose to get a degree at the University where she worked for a time.  Scribe to many organisations (including the State Parliament) and ultimately, her local university where she entered the world of academia; ensuring she qualified in the teaching arena and is still in that place.Ultimately she achieved an Honours and a Masters degree. 

Her previous book was about the experiences of Scottish children evacuees during World War Two.

She concedes that 'The Plain Child' could not be further from the Evacuation stories but she has enjoyed the adventures emanating from her with The Plain Child travels along with her sister's bestie.
