About the author

Jane Wenham-Jones is a journalist and presenter and the author of nine books. She has written for a wide range of magazines and national newspapers, is a regular columnist for Woman’s Weekly and an agony aunt for Writing Magazine. As a presenter, she has hosted the Romantic Novel of the Year awards since 2011, and often pops up on radio and TV. A regular interviewer on the literary festival circuit, she has been “in conversation with” hundreds of top authors and celebrities and is a founder member of BroadstairsLit – literary events throughout the year – in the seaside town of Broadstairs, where she lives. But her major claim to fame is being the one to first coin the term “Writer’s Bottom”! Strange but true…
