About the Author
Jennifer Kloester loves books: reading them, writing them, collecting them. Jennifer was born in Melbourne, Australia but has spent many years in other parts of the globe. She was living in the jungle in Papua New Guinea when she first read Georgette Heyer's wonderful historical novels and she rediscovered them while living in the Middle East. Those novels inspired Jennifer to write Georgette Heyer's Regency World and Georgette Heyer: Biography of a Bestseller. Recently she's written two YA novels, The Cinderella Moment and The Rapunzel Dilemma, both published by Penguin Australia and her next novel, Jane Austen's Ghost, will be out in 2018.
