Jillian Webster is a writer of dark, compelling fiction with a fantastical twist.

Originally from Michigan, Jillian traveled to New Zealand on a “six-month adventure” with nothing but a backpack and a dream … and never left. She now lives in a charming little home by the sea, tucked in a bay of rolling green hills speckled with sheep (and the occasional goat).

You can find her most days with her head in the clouds and her fingers on a keyboard. When not writing, she enjoys yoga, hiking in the pristine New Zealand bush with her husband and their dog, and cooking.

THE FORGOTTEN ONES is Jillian’s debut fiction trilogy.

Picture Look who got a makeover!

I’ve just released new editions of The Forgotten Ones trilogy (all three books) and to celebrate, I’m giving away not only Book I (Oceans) but for the first time ever, I’m also giving away Book II (Suns) (Kindle only).

What began last December as a one-week project to “tighten up” a few sentences turned into an eight-month labor of love. What can I say? I absolutely love Ma Read more of this blog post »

Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
"This is really an interesting story and yes even sad. However, the way the story is told makes it harder to follow and keep up with the narrative. If I had known this wasn't going to be a fun book to read, I wouldn't have read it but I was drawn to t" Read more of this review »

" One of my very favorite authors but I dnf this one. Completely indifferent to the characters after hundreds of pages. The emotion just wasn’t there. "
Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab
"Unpopular opinion alert - this wasn't one of my favs of 2025. While I did enjoy it, I felt like it could have been shorter and it also felt kind of like a story I've read before (not a plagiarized one but just nothing super fresh or original). It was" Read more of this review »

I don’t get it. Felt like reading Fifty Shades of Grey but with war. People keep saying he didn’t want to do what he did but what about all the rest? Like the scene where she thinks - full stop - “she wants to leave” but gets pressured into staying “ ...more

Quotes by Jillian Webster  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“This leaf is life,” he says very seriously. “It is the one and only link between the earth and the sun; every second it is taking light and creating the nutrients our bodies need to survive. It takes toxins from the air to give us clean oxygen to breathe. It supplies us with medicine to heal our bodies. Even when humans numbered in the tens of billions, this leaf—our plant life—made up over ninety-nine percent of the earth’s living creatures. All of life depends on them. They were here long before us and they will be here long after we’re gone.”
Jillian Webster, The Weight of a Thousand Oceans

“The basic elements that make up this tree, the ant below you, the beating heart within you, were created in a star above you, billions of years ago.” He pauses, then turns to look at her. “Maia, everything that lives will one day fall into the earth and become one with it. We are all one. Never forget that.”
Jillian Webster, The Weight of a Thousand Oceans

“Darling, you are a beautiful thing born from this disaster. Life is still here. If there is one thing we all have in common, from the smallest, most insignificant creature to the largest, it would be that nothing wants to die.”
Jillian Webster, The Weight of a Thousand Oceans

“As things stand now, I am going to be a writer. I'm not sure that I'm going to be a good one or even a self-supporting one, but until the dark thumb of fate presses me to the dust and says 'you are nothing', I will be a writer.”
Hunter S. Thompson, Gonzo
