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 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.
