Jennifer Page

Jennifer Page is an English author of cozy romcom novels. Before delving into romcom novels, Jennifer authored books on music teaching and budget weddings. The latter, published under her previous name, Jenny Hopkin, reflects her experiences with relationships and internet dating.

Jennifer Page was born in Lancashire. Her writing journey began at the tender age of 8. In Natureland, she wrote about her favorite animals, ponies. Jennifer crafted the book with the innocence and creativity of childhood, covering it in sticky back plastic and dreaming of its publication by Puffin Books.

As a 14-year-old, she published a computer program in Practical Computing, which was her first success.

Before becoming a full-time writer, Page learned Dutch, taught music in primary schools, and ventured into the world of opera direction. She also has made television programmes, most notably "Songs of Praise" for BBC1.

Ironically, she divorced the same month her wedding book Easy Wedding Planner (2004) was published. But life, as in her novels, had a twist. Thirteen years of internet dating led her to Hermi, her current partner, thanks to OKCupid.

Together, they share a love for board games, which inspired her debut novel, The Little Board Game Café (2023).

In her late forties, facing health challenges and inspired by Hermi's early retirement, Jennifer also retired. They moved to their current home, a charming farmhouse near Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire, where she continues her journey as a writer.
