about me

I am fairly new to writing and try to scribble a few words between looking after the children with all that entails and a very part-time job. I love children's/YA fiction and am looking for feedback on my first book Shadow Jumper. I will read anything that appeals when I look at the pitch and will give honest, constructive comments. Please ask if you would like me to take a look at your book.

More than anything I want to improve my writing and tell a good story. Many thanks to all of you who have commented and provided advice so far. I love feedback, whatever you have to say.

I'd like to thank all those people who have put my book on their shelf. That you have enjoyed it enough to do that means a lot to me.

Front cover: with many thanks to Bradley Wind.

I have a long list of books on my Watch List, all of which I have really enjoyed reading. There is just not enough room on my shelf.

Shadow Jumper

Julia Forster

Confined to the shadows because of a rare skin allergy, Jack needs help from his missing dad before it's too late.


Jack has plenty to worry about. His skin allergy is getting worse and his scientist dad, the only one who might be able to help him, has gone missing.
Left with little choice, Jack and his new friend, Beth, start a dangerous search for his dad. The hunt leads them to the doors of the research facility, Bioscience Discoveries. Jack and Beth uncover an appalling secret, one which Jack is convinced involves his dad. Matters only get worse when they meet Blackstone, the facility director and Jack is subjected to a terrifying ordeal.

Shadow Jumper is a gripping adventure story.

It is complete at 33,000 words. Only some chapters uploaded here.

YARG I'm here for our reading swap and a YARG review as well. I enjoyed reading the first three chapters. You certainly know how to keep the suspense up and I was hooked from the start. A lot of questions are raised in the prologue, which is good, although it did mean that it was slightly confus... view book

Just read Autho chapters 8 and 9. Well, now the pace has increased significantly from the earlier chapters and 9 is positively scary. Good descriptive build up there. You might want to look at your repetition of the sentence "Did you know." It doesn't work having it three times. The last senten... view book

CHIRG/YARG Read the first three chapters. I like this even more than the start of your first book, Sam. The first chapter is really good. I was immediately drawn in with the introduction of Suzy and the sarcastic talking cat was great. Immediately the reader is intrigued and the ending of that... view book

Hi Jane I'm here for our reading swap and CHIRG review. I loved your poem and I will return to read your other offering when I have more time. I love the subject matter of the two dogs waiting for their owners to come home. With some colourful illustrations this will go down well with young ch... view book

CHIRG Review and reading swap! This is it! What I've been waiting for - totally in tune with the market today. It's not the type of story I normally read but it is so well-written and unique that I can't help myself. I know you have published it already and it's for sale on Amazon, so there's no... view book
