Jay’L Harris loves God with all her heart, mind, and body. Everyday
she presses forward towards the mark of the highest calling in
Jesus Christ. She has learned in her journey with Jesus Christ that
it is a true process to be change in the likeness of Christ. Having
grown up in church, she saw the double lives Christian lived. She
never wanted to have two-faces, one for church and one for home.
She set out to be different. She realized that just because she had
accepted Christ not everyone in “her circle” had accepted him.
Living by the motto preach by her Pastor Anthony Murray, Oasis
Family Life Church, that she is Not an Ordinary Christian. She
decided to write books her way. She wanted to write about real life
and real situation.
- She doesn’t carry a title or anything to that nature. It really doesn’t
matter to her anyway. She always says
“I don’t need a title to do things God has called me to do. It is better
that I don’t have a title because I am not bound by the “image” the
titles holds. It is easier for me to relate to people by simply being
me.”
God is using her gifts for encouraging and loving people and talents through writing and singing to minister outside the four walls of the church. No matter how high God takes her, she will continue to keep it real with God and his people.
Motto: Inspire, Empower, and Serve
Mission: To Inspire, Empower, and Serve people through creative
outlets, within our familied, our communities, our nation and the
world, in such a way that provokes change.

FAQ's
Why did you write Unlikely Love?
I wrote the love story that I hope to one day experience. I want God to send me someone to sweep me off my feet. I am a hopeless romantic at heart
What made you create a soundtrack to the CD?
While writing, I just kept hearing music in my head. I thought it would be a great idea to have a soundtrack to go along with the book. I just so happen to meet someone who had the same idea as me and we decided to make it happen. I must say that the Unlikely Love Soundtrack is very hot. I love listening to it.
How long have you been writing?
I am not like most people who have been writing their whole lives. I just dibble and dabble a little in college. I mostly wrote poetry, so writing books is a fairly new thing for me.
Why did you write about a plus-size heroine?
I chose to write Jasmine as a plus-size woman because, I am plus size. I know what it feels like to be out here trying to date and be successful as a plus-size woman.
Who is your favorite Character?
I must say definitely Anthony. I know men who can relate to him and women who would love to have a man just like him
Which Character stands out the most to your readers?
I hear a lot about Shante. Most women love to hate her or just plain love her. Also Anthony is another fan favorite. I had one guy call me and said he was Anthony and that he could really relate to him.
Is your book Christian based?
I like to say my book is about real life and real issues that we deal with everyday. My characters could be your sister, brother, or friend. They face challenges that are very real and can happen to anyone. It does definitely have Christian undertones in it.
Will you make Unlikely Love into a Play?
Yes! A Play is already in the works for the near future. I will be posting more information about that on my website soon. I also would love to see these characters in a movie and possible mini-series.
Do you have any more books in store for your fans?
Yes, I have a list of book titles that I want to do in the future. I do have a follow up book for Jasmine and Anthony as well as a prequel story for Anthony and Shante.
