Jae discusses the complexities of relationships in her writing, crafting stories that delve into the nuances of lesbian romance with a focus on authenticity and depth. Her novels, such as "Backwards to Oregon" and "Hidden Truths", offer readers meticulously researched narratives that explore various subgenres, from contemporary romance to historical and romantic suspense.

Her methodical approach is further exemplified in her non-fiction works, where she addresses common challenges faced by aspiring writers, such as the "show, don't tell" principle.

Meanwhile, through her involvement with The Sapphic Quill, she provides support and resources to women-loving-women authors, fostering a vibrant and inclusive literary space.
