Jennifer Kremmer was born in 1965, the second of five girls and a
boy in the frontiers of suburbia in Sydney's south-west. She went
to six different schools,including a boys' school that was going

In 1984 Jennifer started studying architecture in Sydney. As far as
she could tell, she was the only student from the west of Glebe.

After quitting nursing Jennifer enrolled in a BA (Media Studies) in
Newcastle. At about the same time she began writing fiction,
including performance poetry.
