Biddy Jenkinson writes, when she can; gardens, paints and whistles( badly) when she can't. She lives, when possible, in a house, on a hill in Wicklow. The surrounding field is filled with plants and shrubs, to suit bees - bumble bees in particular - and birds.

She is grateful to Coiscéim for publishing several books of her poetry, the latest 'Sceilg na Scál' in 2017. Coiscéim has also published three collections of  her short stories. Two of these collections are detective stories imagining, as detective, An tAthair Pádraig Ó Duinnín, compiler of the Irish Texts Society's Foclóir Gaeilge agus Béarla.

Her plays have won prizes and have - less often - been staged. She would like to mention Aisling Ghéar,  Belfast; Aisteoirí an Spidéil, Conamara; Lab na Mainistreach, Daingean Uí Chúis; Guthanna Binne Síoraí, Dublin as companies to which she is indebted.

She has no taste for writing - however fine - that adds to the world reserve of gloom. Her own ambition is to pull the devil by the tail and get away with it.
