Following the success of House for all Seasons (#5 bestselling debut novel in 2013) Jenn wrote three more Calingarry Crossing stories for Simon & Schuster AU before the UK's Head of Zeus published her fifth full-length novel - A Place to Remember. Known for both her signature small-town stories and her nomadic life with Myrtle the Turtle (a purple and white caravan) Jenn established Wild Myrtle Press while travelling somewhere between Nth Qld and NSW, later joining forces with Pilyara Press - a diverse group of women writers and creatives who helped her publish book #6 (a follow up to her Calingarry Crossing Collection). House of Wishes gained national recognition in 2020, awarded 2nd place in the Romance Writers of Australia Book of the Year Awards.
Country Crush is a collection of BIG little stories, again with a backdrop of contemporary country life. Enjoy!
