Jeynes, Karen (South Africa)

Karen Jeynes is a writer: of plays, tweets, television, poetry, fiction, radio, and pretty much anything people will pay her for. She has an unnatural obsession with reality television and Nutella. She lives in Cape Town, which is bloody distracting when you’re trying to hit a deadline but the city is basking in the sunshine. She has two boys who are far more entertaining than she is, and frequently teach her new shortcut keys on the computer. She’s optimistically attempting to adapt Jane Austen for her Master’s Degree. She teaches scriptwriting online at www.sawriterscollege.com, and you can follow her @karenjeynes or read her occasional blog at karenjeynes.wordpress.com
