Sally Jenkins loves writing about mature characters with a lifetime of emotional baggage; characters who are searching for, and who richly deserve, a happy-ever-after.

Words and stories are Sally’s lifeblood. She ran a book group for eleven years, is a Shared Reading group leader for the charity, The Reader, and has worked as a library assistant.

Outside of her bookish world, she is a Women’s Institute member and a church bell ringer. She also enjoys yoga, walking and swimming.
