About the Author

JEN MARLIN lives in an old wooden cabin by the sea, where she spends her days writing, rock climbing and taking trips in her dinghy. She wishes it was as magical as Wind Rider! In the evenings she likes to go litter picking on her local beach, or kick back by the fire with a good book and her scruffy dog Darwin.
