Louise Jensen Duffy, writing as Ernest Jensen, is an Australian author living in Scotland who writes horror and historical fiction.

Louise won the 2023 Cheshire Novel Prize, with a previous title being longlisted for the 2022 Cheshire Novel Prize. She was longlisted for the 2023 BPA First Novel Award and was also shortlisted for the 2022 Comedy Women in Print Award, winning the CWIP Runner-up Unpublished Book to Screen Award.

To date, Louise has written five novels and, while technically they’re her first foray into fiction, she spent the last twenty-odd years writing for government, which has given her a solid foundation in creative writing.

Nameless Things is her first horror novel.
