Jenny is currently working on her fifth book of the \u201cOf Gold & Blood\u201d series (Book 1, \u201cPoisoned Legacy,\u201d released 2018) set in Gilded Age California. Born in New Zealand, Jenny Wheeler grew up in a farming community and fell in love with books and radio dramas. After teaching and being a physics data collector, she joined the New Zealand Herald as a general new reporter. She also wrote for the New Zealand Woman\u2019s Weekly and the Auckland Star. Jenny also hosts her weekly \u2018Joys of Reading\u2019 podcast where she is joined by authors of mystery, suspense, thriller, and romance, answering questions that readers always wanted to ask. Host Patricia McLinn talks with Jenny about research, exploring history, and crafting stories using her a journalism background. In Jenny\u2019s words: \u201cI love stories that are semi-based on fact. I guess that\u2019s the journalist (in me) once again; and I really enjoy being able to inject real fact, historical fact, into my stories.\u201d [39:50] You can connect with Jenny: Website Facebook Twitter BookBub Thank you so much for listening.
