Women's Fiction author Jennie Walters signs

Bloodhound is delighted to announce the signing of Jennie Walters and her fantastic wartime women’s fiction, which will be released next April.

Jennie worked in publishing for several years before writing her own children’s books; successes included the Party Girls series (not those sort of party girls) and the Swallowcliffe Hall trilogy, which gave Julian Fellowes the idea for Downton Abbey – perhaps. What We Did in the War is her first novel for adults published under her own name: the story of two women who meet by chance during the second world war and take advantage of the chaos to create a new life for themselves. She also writes historical fiction under the name of Daisy Wood.

Jennie has two grown-up sons and lives in London with her husband, two rescue dogs and the best cat in the world. The most exciting thing she’s ever done is jump out of a plane with a parachute on her back. Now cured of all adventurous leanings, she now enjoys cooking, reading, walking the dogs and the idea of riding her exercise bike.
