Jay Word writes emotionally charged thrillers with themes of crime, trauma, and dysfunctional families. Word shows how unlikely relationships can be formed through victimisation. The mothers in her stories have their own issues, and we see how these can affect their parenting. Nobody can be trusted in the worlds that Word creates and real-life problems like crime, corruption, and child abuse are explored with diverse and inclusive characters. Word tells her stories from the perspective of the victims and perpetrators, and she does this well. You will question everyone and everything after reading a book written by Jay Word. Word also writes poetry. This form of writing preceeded her fiction, but it was only after losing years of unseen work that wasn’t backed up, and turning to poetry to help deal with the loss of all her personal possessions in a fire in June 2024, that she felt compelled to share her poetic craft. Word's poetry reflects some of the trauma explored in her fiction works. Word's books are free to read with Kindle Unlimited.
