Welcome,

I’m Lola Jaye, an author and psychotherapist. I write historical novels which feature characters tackling race, mental health and….life.

I’m also a speaker on such things and you can contact me to discuss further.

My latest novel The Attic Child is available in the  UK & USA. It has also been  translated into Dutch and (soon) Portuguese.

My new novel The Manual for Good Wives… will be released in February  2025
