About Jeni Mawter:
I’m a storyteller. It’s what I do. Parts of my stories are true. Parts are made up and others have a little bit of truth that I’ve embellished. On my gravestone I used to think I wanted the inscription ‘Break the Rules’, but now I’m leaning towards ‘Jeni was here’.
Jeni (J.A.) Mawter is the author of the hilarious ‘So’ series: So Gross!, So Feral!, So Sick!, So Festy!, So Grotty! and So Stinky! as well as the Freewheelers series: Unleashed!, Launched! and Extreme! (HarperCollins). She has also published non-fiction, poetry, verse narrative, songs and scripts.
