Biography
Jenny Smith was born and raised in Glasgow, and has lived in Oxfordshire for almost twenty years. Her first job on graduating was as a development worker in Lesotho and Botswana – where she once ‘christened’ a brand new pit latrine, to tumultuous applause – and some singing – from an entire village.
Far too easily bored for her own good, she has worked as a secretary, for a school textbook publisher, as a copywriter in advertising and as a grants and trusts fundraiser for an Oxfordshire charity.
She now lives in a small village in South Oxfordshire with her husband Russell, her two sons and a West Highland terrier called Angus. Jenny’s proudest claim to fame is that she is one of only two people to appear on the Dave Gorman show ‘Genius’ twice.
