Jenny, tell me a bit about yourself.



I'm a very happily married mother of three. My husband and I met when I was seventeen and were married when I was twenty. We've had our ups and downs, but overall, he's truly "my hero" as sappy as that sounds :) My childrenare a true blessing. Dustin, who's fourteen, is six-foot, three-inches tall and wears a size 15 shoe. He's definitely my "gentle giant." My daughter,Molly, is full of life, loves to dance, sing, and is very athletic.

Last Thursday I sat in my back bedroom listening to the arts programme Front Row on Radio 4, it was a displacement activity on my part designed to avoid writing the 3000 word essay I should have been working on.…

Well the second book in the Frost Sister Mystery Series is at the publisher. Now comes the nail biting time. So meantime back at the ranch,I'm busy working on the stand alone suspense that has been calling my name.

But if that isn't enough to keep me busy, my internet connection boots me off after about 5-10 minutes. Makes it tough to do research and answer emails. I have to keep rebooting the computer to get back on for another precious few minutes. That's part of the reason I've…

I visited the local law library today for the first time. It was very eye opening and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to research. I used just the first resource I was directed to and spent 3 hours mining it.

The staff was very friendly and gave me cheat sheets on how to use the library. The most important one was How to Read a Cite. It named 3 different ways something could be cited, and how each would break down into case name, volume number, book title, and page…
