Jenni Keer is a history graduate who embarked on a career in contract flooring before falling in love and moving to the Suffolk countryside. Her lifelong passion for reading became a passion for writing, and she was delighted when her debut novel, The Hopes and Dreams of Lucy Baker, was shortlisted for two awards. Her first two books were contemporary romance but she has now embraced her love of the past to write twisty, turny historicals.

Living with four grown up children and three cats (but just the one husband) she is frustrated by their inability to appreciate that when she's staring into space, she's actually working, and that watching television counts as research. Much younger in her head than she is on paper, she adores any excuse for fancy-dress and is part of a disco formation dance team.
