Author bio:
My name is Jenny and I live on the sunny Central Coast of New South Wales in Australia. I have been interested in reading and writing since a small child and belong to an internet group called Diving Deeper: a writing workshop. I have 5 children and 4 grandchildren and work as a social worker in Child and Family Health where I work with mothers, fathers and babies, school age children and their families doing assessment, counselling and groupwork in addition to supervision of other workers. I have a personal interest in access and equity for all families especially where there is disabilty in the family and in diverse cultures, particularly the indigenous cultures of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. My own family is descended from an eclectic mix of Celtic, Anglosaxon, European, and the Indigenous cultures of the Australian Pacific region.
