Goodreads Author


Born
Chelsea, The United Kingdom
Genre

Member Since
November 2016


Jenny was born in Chelsea, London, and now lives and writes from her home. She is the author of her debut novel, Those Missing Years. A retired lecturer in English, Maths, and ICT, Jenny has spent many years reading historical fiction and romance novels, as well as writing short genre fiction stories.
She holds qualifications in Creative Writing from the Open University and in British Sign Language.
Her inspiration for Those Missing Years came from a lifelong fascination with World War II history and the resilience of those who lived through it.


My debut novel, Those Missing Years, explores the quiet courage of a young girl evacuated during wartime—a story rooted in healing, displacement, and hope
