About Jodi Taylor

LOSE TRACK OF TIME IN THE WORLD OF JODI TAYLORJodi Taylor is the internationally bestselling author of over thirty novels and more short stories than you can shake a stick at. Her Chronicles of St Mary's series follows a bunch of disaster-prone individuals who investigate major historical events in contemporary time. Do NOT call it time travel! She is also the author of the Time Police books. Set in the same world as St Mary's, this spinoff charts the highs and lows of an all-powerful, international organisation tasked with keeping the Timeline straight no matter what the cost. Efficient and disciplined, obviously they're nothing like St Mary's. Except when they are. And when a short story set in the same world accidentally grew into a full-length novel, the Smallhope & Pennyroyal series was born, following the adventures of two unlikely partners in crime.Jodi is also known for her gripping supernatural thrillers featuring the mysterious Elizabeth Cage together with the enchanting Frogmorton Farm series - a fairy story for adults. Born in Bristol and now living in Gloucester (facts both cities vigorously deny), she spent many years with her head somewhere else, much to the dismay of family, teachers and employers, before finally deciding to put all that daydreaming to good use and write a book. And then another twenty nine after that. And she hasn't finished yet.

Goodreads review by Sara on December 13, 2024

Nice little short Christmas light novella set in the Frogmorton world. We get the obligatory appearance from Thomas and all the animals on the farm, but this time it's told through the eyes of a now 14 year old Joy. While interesting to see her perspective I admit I missed Jenny's inner monologue. T......more

Oh, Jodi Taylor. You are my secret sin. (I'm working on it, ok?) I will read anything by JT, and enjoy the mad-campen-ness of it. The Frogmorton series, with the hold-your-breath-will-Thomas-show-? is thoroughly satisfying EVERY time. I love everything about it. It's Monty Python/James Herriot/Vicar......more

Goodreads review by Kerry Bridges on November 21, 2020

I love jodi Taylor's books and I read this lovely little short story in an evening. It has got a serious message actually, but it is very well done as usual. I would read the other Frogmorton Farm stories first as Jodi is one of those authors who actually respects loyal readers and this story will de......more

Goodreads review by Paul on January 04, 2021

Whenever I see a book about Frogmorton Farm, it is a "must read" and this was no exception. The writings from a teenage point of view threw me to start, as the spelling is poor (as most teen spelling is these days - he says, checking his spelling at 55!), but once I got used to it, everything made s......more
