A Londoner with Irish heritage, Jennie Ensor writes dark, emotionally-charged psychological suspense and thrillers as well as darkly comic fiction. She began her writing career as a journalist and loves to tackle controversial issues in her novels: Islamic terrorism, Russian gangsters and war crimes in her debut Blind Side (a thriller set in the year of London’s 2005 terror attacks), domestic abuse and sexual exploitation in her second, The Girl in His Eyes. Her third book is Not Having It All: a wickedly funny, feel-good novel about love, lies and middle-age. Her fourth – due out 7 December 2021 with Hobeck Books – is a crime thriller with a strong psychological element that ventures into the shadowy world of ultra-violent, teen-exploiting gangs and police corruption. Ms Ensor lives in north London with her husband and an Airedale terrier. She writes short stories and poetry as well as novels, some of which is published in UK and overseas journals; her poem ‘Lost Connection’ placed second in its category in the 2020 Fish Lockdown Prize. In her spare time (?) she reads widely, sings choral music and practices yoga. She is a fiendish walker and regularly cycles the punishing local hills. Evenings she can often be found collapsed in front of a TV crime drama with a bar of chocolate/glass of strong alcohol.

Greetings from une très chaude France! I’ve retreated to the Pyrenees for the summer, where Mr E and I have a house. A friend and I stayed here first (with the dog), then my husband and more visitors arrived. Mostly I’ve been hard at work editing my WIP in between gardening, walking, cycling, swimming, reading … More Summer in the Pyrenees
It’s all over for another year… I spent two days at the international crime writing festival in Bristol,12-15 May 2022.

It has been another unsettling year, full of uncertainty and unwanted isolation. I grew weary of most of what had been done face to face being transferred to zoom, from yoga classes to writing groups to the chamber choir I’m in. Thankfully, the choir began to meet for real in a local church and I … More My 2021: fears and joys
Suffice to say, this week has been AWESOME. My book was published this Tuesday, a deliciously hectic day trying to keep up with social media – Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

At long last I can post videos again (pricier WordPress plan). Here’s a couple of clips of me reading from my new book at the Brixton Book Jam on 22 November, a laid-back literary event held quarterly at a pub in south London. It was the first bookish thing I’d been to for yonks – … More Reading from Silenced💀
There’s been a lull in my mailing list and website activity over the summer, owing to me being away supposedly having a break but actually getting on with a flurry of book-related tasks in between occasional hikes and lake swims. But I’m back now! Such a lot is going on with this new book, my … More Gang novel coming soon. Life has got crazy again…
Hello there, greetings from the south-western corner of France! I’ve been here in the mountains since July with husband and Hogy, our terrier, our longest ever stay.
