About Me
I live with my husband in Devizes in Wiltshire where I spend my time writing, reading, riding (I am the lucky owner of a beautiful horse, Blue), and keeping up with my four children and an increasing number of small grandchildren (eight so far). I was for many years a nurse and a Relate counsellor. I have taught creative writing both at a local college and a prison, and I review a wide variety of items - including books - for the Amazon Vine programme.I write to death row prisoners in America, being a life-long opponent jof the death penalty. And I spend too much time blogging..
My Books
Below are the books I have written.
Ruth Robinson's Year of Miracles
Women Behaving Badly
Dead Ernest
Cassandra's Secret

DeleteMm, it did cause me some offence actually. I hate to think of people teaching innocent young kids to use filthy language. Sorry!
ReplyDeleteI sorry, Jenny, but you were warned! In my experience, these words are usually picked up in places other than at home. They seem to,be everywhere.
DeleteMy son picked an excellent vocabulary up whilst toddling round the workshop on a Saturday. At four years old he knew the difference between an arc welder and a TIG set. Qualified by fucking.
