Retired Head of Exercise and Health Department at Morley College, Jenny Thomas, was inspired to set up local Book Groups where she recognised the lack of novels portraying active, healthy older characters, leading her to publish The Silver Swimmers. Advocating for representation, she highlights the underrepresentation of Boomers in literature despite being avid readers. Jenny’s work extends beyond fiction, with contributions to articles, poems, and Over Streams and Squirrel Woods.
