ⓘ About Jenny Bayliss
She was a professional baker for a number of years, before returning to college at the age of 39 to study part time for a degree in Creative and Professional Writing from Canterbury Christ Church University. Jenny wanted to write a story about a woman in her 40s beginning again, one with grown up kids and business success, and all of the baggage and wisdom that an older character would be carrying with them. And to show this woman’s journey while she finds that she’s still the leading lady in her own life, and that happiness, love, and fulfillment are there for the taking, even with slightly saggy boobs and laugh lines.
