Although I never discount the horrors of the time period, the main focus of my work is on ordinary people who prove to be strong heroic characters in unfathomable circumstances.

Jenny O'Brien

Hi and thanks for stopping by.

I took up writing about twenty years ago when I first came up with a plot for a book, and I haven't stopped since. When I’m not writing, I’m ferrying around 3 teenagers or working as a nurse. I’m also an all-year-round sea swimmer.
I write what I love to read, which is romance and thrillers.

My next release, out April 11th, is The Book of Lost Children, a World War 2 historical novel set in Guernsey, where I live. I am currently working on a second WW2 novel.

If you like my writing please get in touch - my social media links are below (I’m rarely on Goodreads so it’s best not to drop me a message here). I also have a newsletter, which you can sign up to via my website.

Dogboy v Catfish -in the press
https://theprint.in/ani-press-release...

Seven out of nine suicides in Australia are men. Seven! A journey into the murky world of counterfeit designer goods, an industry which sells fakes worth more than the exports of Australia.

Dogboy v Catfish... A missing person has more rights than someone alive.
