Person
Jenni Francis was born in London, England and moved with her family to New Zealand when she was eight years old, for which she will be eternally grateful. Jenni has trained as a teacher, and a teacher of deaf children, as well as completing a degree in education. She began writing after her first grandchild was born, and has continued writing novels and short stories. Having had a wide range of different life experiences, including living and working on a dairy farm for two years, Jenni has much to draw on to fill out her novels. Skiing, beach holidays, school camps and school life are part of the background to her novels. She has been involved with children in her capacity as a teacher, a mother and a grandmother, and now as an author of children's books and has always enjoyed interactions with children. She intends to keep writing for children until she runs out of ideas, which won't be anytime soon! But, just for a change, Jenni has completed a novel that is aimed at adults. It is contemporary and is a departure from her adventure stories. The idea for another is tickling in her creative brain.Jenni lives on five acres with an orchard, a pond a stream and a neighbour's sheep. She has twelve grandchildren and she lives with her husband, a dog and a cat.
