Jay has always been a voracious reader, which is probably how most writers start out. In Jay's case, they began writing their own stories at a young age. When they couldn't find a book that suited their fancy they simply wrote it themselves - with varying results.

Then they grew up, got a proper job, and almost forgot about their joy of writing.

Only when they hit a wall after years and years of stress and an unhealthy work environment did they reassess their priorities and take up writing once again.

And with a truck full of mental health issues, their stories are meant as pure escapism. They write spice and steam, and they choose to leave the profound and angsty to others.
