Jennifer Morag Henderson is a writer from Inverness in the Scottish Highlands. Her main interests are history and biography.

Jennifer’s newest book “Daughters of the North: Jean Gordon and Mary, Queen of Scots” is a historical biography of Jean Gordon, and a re-examination of 16th-century North of Scotland. It has been acclaimed by reviewers as “deeply researched and detailed”, “involving and satisfying” and “captivating”, and was longlisted for the Highland Book Prize.

Jennifer’s first book, biography “Josephine Tey: A Life”, tells the true story of Golden Age crime fiction novelist Josephine Tey, aka playwright Gordon Daviot.
