Mary Jayne Baker

Mary Jayne Baker is an award-winning author of romantic comedies. She grew up in rural West Yorkshire, right in the heart of Brontë country… and she's still there. After graduating from Durham University with a degree in English Literature, she dallied with living in cities including London, Nottingham and Cambridge, but eventually came back with her own romantic hero in tow to her beloved Dales, where she first started telling stories about heroines with flaws and the men who love them. Mary Jayne also writes cosy mysteries as Penny Blackwell, contemporary women's fiction as Lisa Swift and World War II sagas as Gracie Taylor and Betty Firth.
