A Moment with Jane Green

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.

I'm Laura. I started Novel Kicks back in 2009 as I wanted a place to discuss books and writing - two loves of my life. As someone who has anxiety, these two things give me, and I am sure countless others, a much needed escape.
There is a monthly book club, writing exercises, prompts, reviews, author interviews, competitions and guest posts. I cover many genres and I hope there is something for everyone.
I grew up by the sea in Dorset and currently live in Poole with my husband, Chris and three cats. I love writing and have a BA (Hons) in Creative Writing from Falmouth University. I am writing my first book. If only I could stop pressing delete. Chris has threatened to stop it from working. Haha.
I have always loved creative writing since I was in first school and would very much like to meet my teacher, Miss Sayers, to say thank you for all the encouragement she gave me then.
When not writing, I love reading, cats, Disney, singing (I can't sing but this doesn't stop me,) and falling into a good TV show or film. If I could step into any fictional world, it would be amongst the characters in ABC's Once Upon a Time.
I love reading many genres and discovering new authors.
