Jinny Alexander

Cozy mysteries set in Ireland and the UK

Jinny was first published in Horse and Pony magazine at the age of ten. She’s striving to achieve equal accolade now she’s (allegedly) a grown up. She has had some publishing success with short story and flash competitions and secured a publishing deal in December 2020 for her first three novels. Publishing credits include MsLexia Magazine, Writing Magazine, Flash 500, Bath Flash Fiction Awards, Writer's Playground, and others. Jinny has an MA in Creative Writing and teaches English as a foreign language to people all over the world. Her home for now is in rural Ireland, in a village uncannily like the fictional village of Ballyfortnum which is featured in her Jess O'Malley Mystery series, only with fewer murders. Jinny has realised she's still a bit homesick for England, and the new Mrs Smith's Suspects series takes her home to an imaginary town with an old-fashioned high street, shops within easy walking distance, and the life she'd like to return to one day, if it still exists!
