Children's book author moves into village

Jean Maye has recently moved into Milford on Sea after several years of wishing to become part of the community. Jean is a multi-award-winning screenwriter, a best-selling author of social care books for children, and she has also recently written her first children’s fiction book 'The Dolls House'.

The Doll’s House is for children primarily aged between 6-11 years but easily has a window of one year below and above this age range. Interestingly, since being published, the book has attracted even a larger age range – including adults!


The Dolls House is about an adventurous 8-year-old girl who uncovers a dark mystery in her new adoptive home. Unable to ignore the spooky events that follow she takes on the investigation.

The appeal of children’s fantasy comes from Jean’s childhood love for the works of Enid Blyton, C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien (Who used to holiday in Milford on Sea!)

Having formerly worked in this important field much of her writing taps into real-life issues in one way or another, whether this be writing for adults or for children. 

Jean’s future plans is to make her first book part of a trilogy with 'Treasures Bright' being the next one planned for the summer.

To buy or read the reviews for The Dolls House, please click here. If you would like a signed copy once you have bought the book from Amazon, then post or pop your book to Jean with a note of who you want the book dedicated to. The book can then be collected the follow day or posted back if you supply a stamped addressed envelope (£1.86 plus). She would do this wearing cotton gloves so to keep ‘Covid’ free.
