Jenny lives with her husband Steve Cobb and her dog Oliver in Salisbury, NC.
A former high-school and college English teacher for 17 happy years, Jenny now practices what she preached: the discipline of rewriting, which, in her humble opinion, is the key to a writer’s success.
Jenny is represented by Jonathan Lyons of Curtis Brown, LTD, New York City. Her second novel, And We Stay, will be published by Random House in early 2014.
When not writing for young adults, Jenny writes plays. She acts with theatres in the area and serves as Managing Director for the St. Thomas Players in her hometown. Read Katie Scarvey’s portrait of Jenny in The Salisbury Post.
