I have just started reading The Dead Ex & so far I'm really enjoying it, as I did your 2 previous books. I am a big fan. My question is the book that I'm reading The Ex is called David but on the back cover in the synopsis, the Dead Ex is referred to as Daniel?? Is this a mistake? I have also noticed that some people leaving reviews here on Goodreads have also referred to him as Daniel. Thank you.
Jane Corry Thank you so much for getting in touch. I have been told there was a printing error. The name should have been David on the blurb. I do hope you still enjoy reading THE DEAD EX. Do let me know what you think. Kind regards, Jane

I loved 'Blood Sisters', not only was it a fabulous page turner of the book- it made me think about the realities for people living like Kitty. I am pleased that you didn't shy away from the harder parts of life and this made it feel real. It made me think but was also rather humourous too. 'My Husband's Wife' was a fabulous book with lots of great twists and turns. I hope you plan to write many more books like these?
Jane Corry Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I’m sorry for the delay for some reason, I’ve only just found this on Goodreads. I hope you enjoy my new book The Dead Ex Which came out at the end of June and is now a Sunday Times bestseller. Do keep in touch. Best wishes, Jane

Thank you for giving the world your works. I have read "My Husband's Wife" and "Blood Sisters." Is another novel in the works, yet? I hope so! Brava!
Jane Corry I’m so sorry for the delay. For some reason, I’ve only just found this in Goodreads. My new book is called The Dead Ex and it came out at the end of June. It’s already a Sunday Times bestseller. I do hope you enjoy it. Thank you so much for your wonderful comments about my books. Do keep in touch. Very best wishes, Jane

Hi Jane, I am currently reading The Dead Ex, it's really intriguing so far! I was so looking forward to a Q&A/signing you were scheduled for in Exeter next week, but it looks like it has, unfortunately, been cancelled. My Q is: do you enjoy reading psychological thrillers as well as writing them? And if so, who are some of your favourite authors? If not, what genre do you like to read? Thanks :)
Jane Corry I was told that the Waterstones event has been cancelled because of staff shortages. I’m so sorry not to meet you. In answer to your questions, I don’t normally read psychological suspense because I don’t want my my own writing to be influenced. However, I am sometimes asked to give quotes on other people’s books. I tend to read in various genres. I’ve just finished Anita Shreves’ The Weight Of Water which was rather dark and fascinating. I’m now reading Andrea Levy’s Fruit Of The Lemon which is wonderful. Thank you for reading my books. Do you live in Devon? Very best wishes,
Jane

How do you deal with writer’s block?
Jane Corry I've only had this once and that was when my first marriage ended. It lasted for about two minutes because I forced myself to sit down in a corner and just write. It became my therapy.

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?
Jane Corry Choose a subject which you feel passionate about. Don't try to fit your writing to the current trend. If possible, write every day so you keep the story going in your head. It doesn't matter if it's just half page. It all adds up. Make sure that each of your character has a problem. Problems = tension which is a good thing in fiction!

What are you currently working on?
Jane Corry I never talk about what I'm writing - otherwise it can take away the need to tell the story! However, I can say that I'm nearly three-quarters of the way through and that I'm very excited by it.

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?
Jane Corry From working as a writer in residence at a high-security male prison - and also from marriage! I wondered what would happen if a second wife needed to ask a big favour from the first....
