To make a long story longer.

One year ago I convinced myself to start a blog. A domain name and a dream was all I could muster—it was as far as my courage would let me go. In the 11 months since, I have found reason after reason against putting my words on a public facing medium—after all, I’m not a writer. You see, twenty-two years ago, I acquired a degree in journalism, but never practiced it because another dream was born.

Jenny Castle has a knack to make a long story longer—spin a story to put a smile on your face. These are the tales of an extraordinarily ordinary life of a dreamer, a feeler, and sometimes make believer. In a little over one month I, Jenny Castle, will turn 45, and age has finally pushed this “late bloomer” into believing that I AM A WRITER—and this is my page.

The Adventures of Jenny Castle:


She’s destined for greatness…the world just doesn’t know it…YET!

Jenny Castle is an extraordinary, but ordinary 40-something with dreams of changing the world.

Her super power is her heart and a quirky wit that’s getting sharper with age. Enter the world of Jenny Castle and immerse yourself into the funny and the fabulous adventures that, well, only Jenny can create.
