Author: Jennie Ensor
A Londoner with Irish heritage, Jennie Ensor began her writing career as a journalist, covering topics from forced marriages to mining accidents. She isn’t afraid to tackle controversial issues in her novels, either – Islamic terrorism, Russian gangsters and war crimes in her debut Blind Side (Unbound, 2016); child abuse and sexual exploitation in her latest book THE GIRL IN HIS EYES, a dark psychological drama published by Bloodhound Books in September 2018. Her third novel, Not Having It All, a comic family drama was published by an imprint of Bloodhound Books in 2019. She’s working on a 4th novel set in the ruthless world of London street gangs. Ms Ensor’s poetry has appeared in many publications. In her spare time, she sings, cycles, twists herself into yoga poses and reads everything from crime to lit-fic.

…when bloggers remember they do actually have a blog (my hand is up, have lapsed lately) and people wish each other all sorts of unlikely to be achieved states of mind.

Banishing news, TV and social media to write
September 6, 2019
In late July I set off with my husband and dog for our large, very old house in a remote part of France for a long summer break. As Mr E had to get back to London in August for work, I had two weeks there with only the dog for company, and hoped to … More Banishing news, TV and social media to write
Update from London
July 18, 2019
It’s been a while since my last post, I know… But it’s quality not quantity, n’est pas? My book news to kick off. The paperback launch of NOT HAVING IT ALL last month went incredibly well, especially given the near non-arrival of the paperbacks.

An extraordinary novel: review of The Colour Of Bee Larkham’s Murder by Sarah J Harris #bookreview
March 25, 2019
My decision to write one-par book reviews from now on has been swiftly overturned by The Colour Of Bee Larkham’s Murder. I totally LOVED this book and felt sad on finishing it last week. I bought the novel after seeing the large number of rave blogger reviews last year (great cover too) and listened to … More An extraordinary novel: review of The Colour Of Bee Larkham’s Murder by Sarah J Harris #bookreview

Alongside this I’ve been musing on my next novel (radically different from this one, of course), writing a … More How far can a comedy go? Getting my next book ready for publication
