Über den Autor

Jenny Phillips lives in Australia where she works full time in a small family business. She has lived in three different continents: Africa, Europe and now Australia. Her motivation to write goes back to her late teens, where she got about 3/4 of the way through writing a book, but after receiving a rejection letter from a publisher, and as a petulant teenager, she gave up and destroyed the book. Although on the back-burner for most of her life, she never gave up on the idea and here is the proof, with Family Heartbreak being her debut novel.
