As a little girl Jen dreamed of becoming a police detective at the top of her game. She wanted it so badly she even had an imaginary friend who was in the force.

When Jen was growing up she suffered a lot of pain in her joints. This was written off as growing pains however the problem hit a peak when she was travelling with friends.

Excruciating pain in her fingers and thumb meant that when they arrived for two weeks in Australia they ended up staying for 8 months. Jen had to go straight to a doctor where she was told she had rheumatoid arthritis. Thankfully the correct treatment and medication was found do help Jen so she could continue her trip however on arriving home it soon became clear that her hopes for a career in the police force were over.

Thankfully Jen would go on to find a job in a small publishing office and was able to grow with them. She learnt all aspects of the publishing industry and was fortunate enough to have a very understanding boss who let her go freelance after having her baby. Jen now runs her own successful copy editing and design business from home. She is the editor of the super successful Mums on Fire book series and her own story will be featured in edition four which is due for release for pre order December 2018.
