Jeanette Goddard was born and educated in Nottingham. For thirty years she pursued a career in education, progressing from class teacher to primary school head. She worked in several counties throughout the Midlands with children up to thirteen years of age. When ill health forced her to leave teaching earlier than anticipated, she turned her attention to writing children's fiction. Jeanette has three grown up children and lives with her husband of over thirty years.
