Jane Fallon Bloggers Event – The Club at the Ivy, Monday 26th September 2011.

What do you do when you get invited to meet Jane Fallon at the Ivy? You get yourself down there as quickly as possible.

Jane, Helen and Laura

Joe from Penguin and Helen.

Novel Kicks got to go to the Club at the Ivy to meet the lovely Jane Fallon, author of Getting Rid of Matthew, Got You Back, Foursome and her latest, The Ugly Sister which is due out on 29th September 2011. Thank you to the guys and girls at Penguin for a wonderful night.

Helen and I arrived and we were immediately taken aback by the Ivy. I’d never been to anywhere like that before and I was so excited to go in and have a nosy around (and not actually be thrown out again.)

I’m not always good with heights so the lift was an interesting experience as it was made of glass. I was wishing I had taken the stairs.

Once we arrived, we were shown to one of the rooms on the other side of the bar. An event like this is nice as you get to meet some of the other bloggers and have a drink.

Once I got up the courage, I was introduced to Jane. I couldn’t believe I was stood talking to her chatting about National Novel Writing Month and writing practises. She was such a lovely lady and it was great to meet her and the guys and girls from Penguin.

For more information on Jane, head to her website.

We even managed to get some photos…..

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.
