Jenny is a novelist and non-fiction writer and the founder of Wily Publications, specialising in historical fiction and non- fiction. Her latest book, “Behind the Twisted Wire: New Zealand Artists in World War I”, explores how New Zealand artists recorded their experiences of the Great War.

The latter was at the insistence of General Freyberg. The artists were recording, in colour, what photography could only reproduce in black and white.
