Author Bio
After Jenny stopped wanting to be a ballerina (aged around seven) she felt as if there were only two choices of career for her - an actor or a writer. In 2003 she won first prize in the London Writer's Competition and began writing her first novel. In February 2007 it was finally finished and it was swiftly snapped up and published as the internationally bestselling Before I Die.
