Author, Jane Green
Jane Green is the international best-selling author of Straight Talking, The Accidental Husband and The Patchwork Marriage. She joins us for a moment to talk about her memorable experiences and what she does when she’s not writing.
What has been your most memorable experience as an author so far?
It is mostly the little things that blow me away. Someone recognising my name from my credit card in a shop and saying, ‘wow, you have the same name as my favourite author!’, or being shown to a table in a restaurant and have someone whisper that Jemima J was her most favourite book ever. But I have to confess, being sent to meet Harrison Ford and have him fly me up to Malibu in his helicopter, probably won’t ever be matched. He was the real deal: an old school movie star with buckets of humility and charm.
What do you like to do when you’re not writing?
I cook, garden, decorate, entertain, keep chickens, look after children, dogs and cats, make candles, make jewellery, read… I’m the ever-ready bunny. I keep going until the batteries run out. Which they do at around 8.30pm. I am good at many things, but late-night partying is sadly not one of them.
Jane’s latest book, Tempting Fate is available now.

by I’m Laura. I started Novel Kicks in 2009. I wanted a place to post my writing as well as give other writers like me the opportunity to do the same. There is also a monthly book club, a writing room which features writing prompts, book reviews, competitions, author interviews and guest posts.
I grew up by the sea (my favourite place in the world) and I currently live in Hampshire. I am married to Chris, have a cat named Buddy and I would love to be a writer. I’m trying to write the novel I’ve talked so much about writing if only I could stop pressing delete. I’ve loved writing since creative writing classes in primary school. I have always wanted to see my teacher Miss Sayers again and thank her for the encouragement. When not trying to write the novel or writing snippets of stories on anything I can get my hands on, I love reading, dancing like a loon and singing to myself very badly. My current obsession is Once Upon a Time and I would be happy to live with magic in the enchanted forest surrounded by all those wonderful stories provided that world also included Harry Potter. I love reading chick lit. contemporary fiction and novels with mystery.
