My dear readers,

I feel I haven't been in touch lately, and it's time for an update.

Sadly, my professional life is still rather stressful, and I don't have a lot of time for anything else. I want to continue writing, but at the moment, I can't seem to find the time. Hopefully, I'll be less busy once the Christmas period is over.

Thanks for your continued support.

Yours truly,

Jenny Wren

Who is Jenny Wren? "A child - a dwarf - a girl - a something"; "Child in years, woman in self-reliance and suffering". Jenny Wren is a character from "Our mutual friend", Charles Dickens' last finished novel (That's where the quotations in this paragraph come from, just in case you were wondering.). She's an outsider of society because she suffers from a physical handicap. This enables her to comment mercilessly on everything she sees and hears.

Some of you may know me as Josephine, which is my usual screen name (on phansonline.net, for example). I'm 31 years old, born in Germany, but living in London, work in veterinary health and in love with "The Phantom of the Opera" for over half my life.

My stories are mostly ALW stage show based (about 90 per cent, I'd say) with about 9 per cent Leroux and an occasional drop of Kay. When you've already read anything written by me you'll have noticed that I'm not a shipper of any particular pairing. I think that under the right circumstances many, many combinations are possible. This is what makes writing so much fun!
