About Jenny Wheeler

Over a long and happy life I’ve been a magazine and newspaper editor, a health products entrepreneur and a devoted step-mother and step-grandmother. But I’m as surprised as anyone to have completed seventeen mysteries, and posted over 300 episodes on my popular fiction podcast, The Joys of Binge Reading. It’s in recess at present, but there are 300 different authors from all over the world there, telling their stories.

When I started out writing, I planned a trilogy about three brothers in post-Gold Rush California. That series – Of Gold & Blood, – grew to ten books, and I’ve just kept going. Home At Last followed, and now I’ve switched locations to Sydney with the Sisters of Barclay Square trilogy, just out in a boxed set.  The new four novella series, Runaway Ladies of Sydney, begins with Runaway Lady #1, to be published December 2025.

I’m a Kiwi, delighting in my garden and my beehives in coastal Auckland. From my peaceful little kingdom, I love to think of readers around the world putting aside the day’s cares, relaxing with a glass of wine or a cup of tea in hand and visiting long-forgotten places and making fabulous new friends in my books.
