Jane M Cullen

Kathleen Masefield, a successful writer, finds two diaries written from 1910-1918 by Georgina Dickens about her idyllic life in rural Kent with her older brother, Dominic and his friends.

Dominic is a gentle soul who talks to trees and tells Georgina about a magical tree called Effy that can predict the future. At the outbreak of the First World War, Dominic and his friends are sent to Flanders where he becomes the most famous runner in the war and given the name Sunstar.

Georgina’s words have a deep and lasting effect on Kathleen and alter how she sees her own life and her writing. But when the diaries become a haunting record of loss, Georgina’s fears for her brother’s safety and the carnage at Ypres, can Kathleen bear to read on and will Sunstar survive the war and come home to his family.

 About Jane

I am an exercise teacher, specialising in teaching people living with long term medical conditions. I am also an author and I have just completed my new novel SUNSTAR.

All my novels have a different theme. I don’t want to be pigeon-holed into one genre and if I was to be asked what genre I write in, I really couldn’t say. Perhaps comedy/romantic fiction for Say That Again, but with an unusual hero who is living with Parkinson’s, but with The Shadows of Intrigue Trilogy which will be out in 2026 and was adapted from my second novel You’re Not Alone Anymore, it is difficult to describe. I suppose I would describe it as part mystery, part slow-burn romance and literary fiction, highlighting a very difficult subject. No spoilers here! My third Novel, A Secret Sky, published on kindle and in paperback by spellbound books on Amazon, explores the complex relationships in one family and how long hidden secrets will often come to light and ultimately harm those involved.

My fourth novel is different again and is a fantasy exploring the subject of grief with a bit of time travel thrown in. Hey Remy is very funny but moving at the same time and my new novel, Sunstar is difficult to pigeonhole because it’s a little fantasy at the beginning that turns very dark about WW1.

I was asked to adapt Say That Again into a one hour play, which I did and it was performed twice at a large festival in Rochester and sold out both times. I was then contacted by a lovely woman in Australia who has Parkinson’s and she asked if she could put it on at the Mandurah Performing Arts Centre in Perth. They did a Q and A after both sold out performances and won an award for best play in West Australia. Say That Again is now being made into a short film.

Blog Updates

My second novel, originally called You’re Not Alone Anymore has also been picked up by Spellbound Books who have already published my third novel A Secret Sky. Because it is a very long book, the publisher asked me if I could turn it into a trilogy! I was thrilled to do this. Lots of research had to be done to find out the best way to do it and with a lot of help from my great, original editor, I eventually managed it and the trilogy is called The Shadows of Intrigue. All three books will be published by Spellbound in 2025.
