Jenn J McLeod loves ticking things off her bucket list. So far she’s made that sea change, run that country B&B, and written that bestseller. In 2014, Jenn downsized her life and home is now a 3-tonne, 25-foot caravan named Myrtle the Turtle.

With her Seasons Collection of four novels already adored by readers, Australia’s nomadic novelist is finding inspiration for more heart-warming small town tales of friendship, family, and contemporary country life.

Book #6 - House of Wishes is going back to Calingarry Crossing. Join me.

Other titles: House for all Seasons (#5 Top Selling Debut Novel), Simmering Season, Season of Shadow and Light, and The Other Side of the Season. Her fifth novel is A Place to Remember.

I have a confession …

I once said, at the very start of my publishing journey (back in 2012) that I would never do the new-fangled thing people called ‘blogging’. I disliked the word (and therefore the concept) because no matter how I said it—“I need to blog” , “I have a blog” , “It’s time for a blog” —-it […]

“An improbable set of circumstances.
An impossible situation.
How long could she hold on to the truth? Should she hold on?...Was she obligated to protect the deceptions of the dead when the truth might somehow help the living?”
Jenn J. McLeod, Season of Shadow and Light
tags: truth

“Sorry, Will, bad habit of mine. You have to stress hot in the city these days. Some places have absolutely no idea how to make a decent long black.' And there she was being all uppity slutty again.”
Jenn J McLeod

“Openness and acceptance give victims help and hope, don’t you think?’ John’s nod said he agreed. ‘They let them know there are options. Forty years ago I had no such outlet and innocence is quickly lost when a child experiences violence in the one place they need to feel safe.”
Jenn J. McLeod, A Place to Remember
