Hi Kevin,

Got a couple in the pipeline. One is THE UNSHRIVEN - a supernatural horror set in New York City in the 1870s. The other as THE SISTERS' CHILDREN - a black magic story set in modern England.

Both currently looking for a publisher - fingers crossed!

All best,

Jasper.(less)

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

“It's always for humanity, isn't it? But tell me, Maksim, what makes French humanity more important than Russian humanity? Or British more important than Austrian? We can’t fight for the whole of humanity, because humanity has no other enemies but other humans.”
Jasper Kent, Twelve

“Faith's what allows people to feel certain about things that they can never know for sure. And that's an important idea to get across, however much the Bible fluffs it.”
Jasper Kent, Twelve
tags: faith

“Whether a dream is a nightmare is a question not of content, but of mood.”
Jasper Kent, Twelve
