edit data

Jennifer Jenkins lives in a village just outside of Rugby, Warwickshire, with her husband David (illustrator of the book’s cover), her two sons & her dog. Jennifer loves all things literary (including writing her own poetry), in particular historical fiction and Shakespeare, and supports local schools with Religious Education & spiritual development. Jennifer’s first novel, ‘Three’, is the tale of three brave women who lived through the plague visitation of the village of Eyam in Derbyshire in 1665-1666. Jennifer originally taught the Eyam plague to her class of seven year olds, sparking an interest in the Derbyshire village that has led to her first novel.
