Jean Roberts

Jean Roberts is a retired social worker and a cautiously negative optimist. She is married with two grown-up children and a small tribe of grandchildren. She spends her time between her home in Essex and her happy place in Spain.

Jean began writing as a child and continued through her adult life and her career. ‘A Kiss Behind the Castanets’ moving to Spain, is her first published book and is a light hearted look into her journey from a forced early retirement through to choosing, buying, and renovating a house in Spain, and into falling in love with a country, its people, its culture, and, ultimately, falling in love with life itself.
