Jean Grainger

Jean Grainger is an Irish author of historical fiction from Cork. She has a bachelors and masters degree in History and English and has held a number of careers before turning to writing. Some of her most notable occupations have been university lecturer, tour director and secondary school teacher. She has also been involved in script writing and play directing for many high school plays. However, it was her experience as a tour guide which indirectly led to a career as an author. In the early nineties, Grainger rebelled against the notion of getting a traditional job to become a tour guide and director.
