Jean was born and bred in the UK where she lived most of her life until she retired to The Balearic Islands following the death of her dogs - two Maltese bitches called Trudie & Caisha, and who were the loves of her life. It is here that she found the time to begin writing seriously.

Jean had been in Spain barely two years before she was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and was by then at a very advanced level (Stage lV) having tumours from the neck down to mid-calf, and infection in the bone marrow. The fact that she has survived this long never ceases to amaze her. She has been clear for some years now and will always be grateful to her wonderful Oncologist who not only saved her life, but promises that her cancer will never be allowed to return.
