PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Kate grew up in the Cotswolds and now lives in the West Midlands, where she worked as a primary school teacher before joining Usborne in 2019. Since then, she has worked on books on all sorts of topics, from airports and trucks to unicorns and butterflies. Jenny Brown earned a graduate degree in 19th-century history. Her very first professional sale as a writer was a biographical piece about Louisa May Alcott's childhood. Years later, her favorite hobby continues to be reading biographies of people who lived in the 18th and 19th centuries. She has earned her living in many different ways: performing as a singer-songwriter in Western Massachusetts and Nashville, writing nonfiction, and, for the past fifteen years, running a successful small press. Jenny has been a student of astrology since her teens. This ancient art helps her make sense of her life and accept that the way she is, with all her oddities, is the way she's supposed to be. Though she has always loved reading love stories set in the past, what got her writing them was finding, at last, the Hero of Her Own Romance.
