Jenny Barden

Jenny Barden is an artist-turned-lawyer-turned-writer who has had a love of history and adventure ever since an encounter in infancy with a suit of armour at Tamworth Castle. A fascination with the Age of Discovery led to travels in South and Central America, and much of the inspiration for her debut came from retracing the footsteps of Francis Drake in Panama. The sequel centres on the first Elizabethan 'lost colony' of early Virginia. She is currently working on an epic set during the threat of invasion by the Spanish Armada.

Jenny has four children and lives in Dorset with her long suffering husband and an ever increasing assortment of pets and animals.
