ABOUT ME

About Jeny

I am an Indian writer and poet. I live in Melbourne with my husband and daughters. I am a kindergarten educator.

I started writing very early. My writing developed extensively during college days, mostly for fun. Poetry and stories have a life of their own; they complete themselves, in their own way.

I published my first book in 2009. I am an obsessive reader and my favourite genres are romance, mystery and thriller.

Hard core romance and just happily ever after isn’t that much my forte. I need something more. A little bit of mystery and suspense makes it all the more interesting.

I would say the books speak for themselves. They just need to be opened. I have loved narrating and writing stories since my teenage.

Sometimes a character has a story to tell. Sometimes a story brings out the strengths and weaknesses of the characters.

About Jeny

MY INSPIRATION

My mother is my greatest inspiration. Though she would never agree, she was a wonderful story teller, especially old forgotten history. And though she is no longer with me to guide me, I know her blessings are always with me. I want to make her proud.

DRIVING FORCE

I was once asked what drives me to write. I would say it’s the stories themselves. They won’t leave me alone. They keep repeating in a loop in my head until I get it out. Since I don’t want to be possessed my that character or story, I write.

MY THOUGHTS ABOUT WRITING POETRY

I believe poetry is not written. Poetry just bleeds out. When our hearts want to say what our mind doesn’t realise, poetry is created. At least, that’s how I see poetry.

MY HOBBIES

I love food, especially desserts. I like tweeting the recipes a bit here and there. Believe me, it always tastes better. Cakes are my specialty. I’m a baker when I’m not a writer.
