| Biography | Jen loves the fun in writing for younger audiences. She came to children’s literature from a background in science writing and editing, breaking through in 2008 with a short story in the Touchdown children’s magazine, one of the long-running NSW School Magazine quartet. This was closely followed by publication of her comedy/spec-fic novel, Spider Lies, by Fremantle Press in 2009 and another story in the School Magazine. She recently completed a second young readers’ adventure novel, sneaking time away from her adult fiction project towards a PhD, and will have a spec-fic children’s story anthologised in late 2010. Jen was born in Perth, Western Australia and, with her family, lives there still, happily within sniffing distance of the Indian Ocean. |
