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 teenage writer from Hampshire in the UK who lives off coffee and bubble tea to function as she spends most of her nights thinking up her next book idea. She is the third child and currently lives with her parents, younger sibling and border collie called Izzy. From the age of ten she started writing her own short stories for her family.

The passion of writing came from her love of reading books. She found her love of the supernatural after reading Kelley Armstrong’s young adult books in her early teens. This made her want to create her own supernatural world with exciting relatable characters who are fond of sarcasm. She also enjoys incorporating her love of sports cars into her books. The love for sports cars is thanks to her dad who for her fifteenth birthday, took her for an experience day to drive sports cars around a race track. 

When it came time at school to consider career paths she looked at becoming a scientist or lawyer but quickly changed her mind when she realised she wouldn’t love it as much as writing. So she decided to devote all her time to dreaming up stories she could share her writing with more than just her family and friends. This inspired her to write her first novel Hell’s Daughter.

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 

 Katrina has been an avid fan of classic fantasy and spirituality readings. She recognises the importance of using one’s own efforts and resources to achieve objectives, and that life’s circumstances and incidents are the basis of learning about self-reliance and building resilience. As the mother of three young adults she was inspired to create this entertaining fantasy which reflects her ideals and the ethos of her life. She currently resides in Zambia, Africa.

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.
