Jacqui M. Rankin is the author of Darkness Forbidden, her first novel published by Scorpius Books in December 2012.
Her second novel, Retribution Darkened, and the third novel, Dark Child, completed the trilogy.

Residing in rural Essex, England, she lives with her husband, daughter and Pumpkin, the cat.

Kyra Halland Hi, nice to meet you!


message 1: by J.M.

J.M. Rankin I was shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of horror writer James Herbert. I first read one of his books several years ago and have been hooked ever since. He was definately an inspiration to me and my own writing.
My heart and sympathies go out to his family and friends at such a difficult time.
Rest in peace
