about me

I am part of the Scots diaspora living in France and have been writing on and off for a number of years. So far I have a few short stories, numerous pieces of poetry and one other, shelved, novel under my belt.

The Ghost Shirt is book 1 in a planned series called 'Warriors of the Rainbow' and is my first completed manuscript. I am currently working on book 2, 'The Tiger Farm'. The series is aimed at the Children's / Young Adult crossover market.

The Ghost Shirt

D.J.Milne

Meet his lost sister…rob a museum...become a Ghost Shirt Warrior …enter the Wakan spirit realms…fight cannibal forces…find his mother...Angus has a headache!


Do you have what it takes to become a Ghost Shirt Warrior? Angus, it seems, has little choice. Surviving a toffee spitting stepmother, and inadvertently befriending the school bully, these become the least of his worries. The arrival of his sister transforms his life! The tribes of the Sioux Nation have already warned her of the perils lying ahead. The sacred spirit realms are under attack, but, to defend them she needs a Ghost Shirt to transform her brother into the warrior he never dreamt he could be.
A strong heroine, ready to fight for what she believes in, and a reluctant hero, the Ghost Shirt Warriors gather together a group of unlikely individuals to form the legendary ‘Warriors of the Rainbow’, ready to fight back and make a stand against a band of ghoulish forces.
Based on Native American folklore with a strong twist of Scottish legend, all mixed up in a modern world on the brink of ecological disaster, this is a fast paced fantasy adventure with a good dose of humor. So come on... follow the Ghost Shirt Warriors!

YALF review based on chapters 1-4 Fade I YARGed fade some time ago and remember enjoying the very poetic prose and the imagery that your writing style evokes.

This is a great start. It made me cringe, smile and want to cry all in those first 7 chapters. You have a good understanding of the ‘cutting habit’ and describe this beautifully, even down to the four criss-cross cuts and their meaning, great stuff. I particularly loved your description of the sc... view book

YARG Review Hi Jaclyn I read your 8 uploaded chapters over the past 2 days and must say that they are thoroughly captivating. Your characters are full and rounded with their own traits and voices.

Hi Jay What a wonderful imagination you have. You set some lovely scenes ablaze with your turns of phrase and colorful characterization. I loved the opening chapter and the ideas of the seven rocking chairs and the family scrapping by. The advert looking for a chest from the month old paper and ... view book

YALF Review The Boy from the Next Dimension based on chapters 1- 6 Hi Isabel Well, pony and horse books are a new one to me, but I must say I found this world quite interesting and fun.
