Jenny’s links with Yorkshire, where she lives, date back through many generations, where her mother served in the Land Army during WWII, her aunts were pharmacists and shop-workers, and her grandfather worked as a village blacksmith and pub landlord. Jenny also writes children’s books as Jenny Oldfield, and her books have been adapted as major dramas for the BBC and ITV.
