Mary Jay

Mary Jay was born in Newcastle upon Tyne and studied English Literature in Manchester before a career as a tutor in Sixth Form Colleges. She later worked as an Education Consultant and was a Senior Examiner for A Level examinations.

Her published work includes textbooks, articles and reviews for teaching publications. Her interest in art and her love of London provided some of the inspiration for her debut novel ‘Deception‘.

Mary lived in the Cheshire town of Knutsford with her husband and two beautiful Birman cats, but sadly passed away in the summer of 2017 following a short illness. Mary was a talented author whose untimely death undoubtedly robbed the world of some superb literature in the novels that would have followed Deception. Mary is missed by us all.
