CONTEMPORARY WOMEN'S FICTION UNLIKE ANY OTHER

Multi Award Winning Author JA Crawshaw

CONTEMPORARY FICTION/ROMANCE UNLIKE ANY OTHER 🌶️

J A Crawshaw Author

I'd never read a book before writing my first book at the age of 50 and struggle to write with a pen. Now writing is my passion.

J A Crawshaw Author

Pushing the boundaries of modern literature, I rarely do anything by the book. I write from the heart. No preconceptions, no formulas or writing to market, just unadulterated freedom of expression. Empowerment and growth while facing tough adversity is my writing mantra. Changing and adapting as we learn and grow, we can be grateful for our experiences and excited by our potential.

 

Writing both male & female protagonists, allows for deep exploration of our emotions, to explore our vulnerabilities, challenge conditioning and expectations, as well as revelling in steamy passion, deep love and unexpected twists.

I had never read a book before writing my first novel at the age of 50. 

My undiagnosed dyslexia, a prison with seemingly no escape.

I was shocked to feel the sheer exhilarating excitement within my core, when I woke with words flowing from my subconscious like torrential rain. Rhyming, playfully dancing provocatively and bursting to come out of me.

My subconscious, now the ultimate filing cabinet of my life. Love, loss, optimism, devastation, romance, determination were all there and…words. The very thing I had been scared of all my life’s now the key to unlock the door of captivity.

 

I write for my own freedom, but also for the liberation of others who may feel different, marginalised, worthless or in need of change. Empowerment is ours for the taking, we just have grasp it and hold on tight for the ride.

The Void Between Words J A Crawshaw Memoir

The Void Between Words was a world in which I could escape my dyslexia.

Seeing the white spaces between the meaningless black words, I was able to delve deep into life and my place within it. The gritty, funny and inspiring true story of my lifetime battle with words and literature and my determination to be free.

WOW! J A Crawshaw successfully brings both divine masculine and divine feminine energy to “Daisy” A truly incredible novel. I loved it, for so many reasons.

I would absolutely recommend this novel to anyone. If you love Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook, The Choice, The Best of Me…) you’ll absolutely love this book, which is also worthy of the big screen… please!

The Best Book Ever!  🇬🇧

Five star review J A Crawshaw

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 August 2026

This is the best book I have ever read ( and I read a lot!) I couldn’t put it down and once I’d finished it I wanted to read it all over again.

I don’t think there are enough words in the English Language to describe it. I found the storyline so addictive , the places visited described so perfectly that I felt I was there with the author.

I kept thinking’Ill just read one more page then I must go to bed ‘….. did it work ? Not a chance !

The story is so well written that you could almost believe that it’s a non- fiction book as opposed to fiction.

Was it emotional ??!! I could read it again right now and I’d be in tears within a few minutes.

EAGERLY AWAIT A SEQUEL
