Ride the Waves

Jennie Dodd was raised in the picturesque market town of Shrewsbury, famous for its medieval castle, steep narrow streets, little alleyways, and timber-framed buildings. Situated on the River Severn, the town nestles in amongst the ancient Shropshire hills of the Stiperstones, the Long Mynd, Wenlock Edge and the Wrekin. Educated at the Wakeman Grammar School, Jennie developed a keen interest in art, history, a love of English literature and excelled in sport. Following three years of study at Glamorgan College of Education, she acquired a Dip Ed in Advanced Main Physical Education and subsidiary Art and English before beginning a teaching career spanning over forty years. Ride the Waves, her third novel to be published, shows her continuing passion for horses, dogs, indeed animals in general and a deep appreciation of the natural world.
