Jennifer Glynn is a young Australian author living in the beautiful southern state of Tasmania. Specialising in Young Adult fantasy and mystery fiction, she is best known for her novels The Beaumont Egalitarian Society and Call Me Rumpel.
“Your daughter is going to be a writer,” her first-grade teacher once told her mother, holding up her scrapbook filled with several pages of stories, all written in a language and handwriting only she could truly understand. Little did any of them know that her prediction would one day come true.
Jennifer’s career began as a primary school teacher, having received a Bachelor of Arts and Masters of Teaching with a major in history and English. Whilst undertaking her degrees and subsequent years teaching primary-aged students, she spent most of her free time writing short stories. These began with Harry Potter FanFiction (where she wrote over 200 stories under the penname whitetiger91) and quickly turned into original stories entered into various writing competitions.
Her love and knowledge of writing progressed when she delved into the world of online story-telling through the Episode Interactive app under the penname whitewave91. On this platform, she soon rose to fame with her fantasy elemental story, White Wave. Continuing with fantasy stories such as The Monsters We Hide, The Kitsune’s Lullaby, and As You Wish, she soon received several acclamations, earning a place on two Own Voices shelves (Women’s Voices and Voices of People with Disability) and an Editor’s Pick. In November, life-changing news was received by the Episode Interactive team involving a writing opportunity (more information of which will be revealed soon).
Jennifer is proud to represent and advocate for the neurodiverse and disabled community in her writing. This includes a focus on characters with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, as well as personal challenges involved with Congenital Hypothyroidism.
When not writing novels, she is busy at work covering television and movie news stories for Collider.com, learning AUSLAN (Australian sign language), painting, or hanging out with her uniquely Australian menagerie of cats, quolls, possums, pademelons, and currawongs. Her dream job, other than being an author and allowing millions of readers to escape from reality, is to one day open up a small museum filled with the antiques she collects.
