- Author Bio -
Jenny Bayliss lives in a small seaside town in Kent with her husband, their children having left home for big adventures. She went back into education when she was thirty-nine and gained a first-class degree in Creative and Professional Writing from Canterbury Christ Church University. Jenny likes long walks along the seafront and baking days, especially when it' s cold outside. She is a stationery-obsessed coffee lover who doesn' t believe in saving things for best and shamelessly wears party dresses to the supermarket. The Winter of Second Chances is Jenny' s second novel.
