My Interview with Judith Ashley
Continuing catching up the interviews I conducted with authors last year and I really like the animation I did for this one. It helped that Judith has quite a few books out and her covers are lovely. In this interview, Judith Ashley discusses her Sacred Women’s Circle series of novels, her short stories, her life, and her writing process. This interview is also available as audio only.

My Interview with Courtney Pierce
Continuing to post some of the interviews I conducted with fellow authors last year. I had a blast talking to them all and I really enjoyed putting together the video animation. In this interview, I talk to Courtney Pierce about her magic realism trilogy: Stitches, Brushes, and Riffs. We also chat about her previous career on Broadway, her writing process, and Courtney’s future plans at the time of the interview. If video is not your think, there is also an audio only version available.

My Romantic Comedy Going Out of Print
The exciting news is that I am writing a new science fiction series of novels which will be coming out late this year. Unfortunately, to prepare for that, my romantic comedy novels and stories are going out of print. I want to thank everyone who read and enjoyed them.
My women’s fiction will be coming out in a new form later this year, including a few stories not yet published. If you would like to be informed when these books are available, please sign up to my newsletter, the link for which is on the right sidebar if you scroll down a bit (if you’re on a mobile or tablet, it’s at the bottom of the page, scroll down a lot!). Or drop me a line via the contact page: Email me .
In the meantime, there may still be a few copies of favourites like If Wishes Were Husbands and Fairy Nuff at various retailers, particularly in paperback, but they will be disappearing very soon. So if you want to pick up a copy, now would be the time!

Busy Writing
I seem to have a lot of things on my to do list these days and one of them is always “update website”. Along with having a good tidy up of my home, it’s a job I haven’t got around to in while. This is because I am busy writing. I have a novel series due out in the autumn (that’s the fall to our American friends) and I’ve been pushing out all distractions to get it done.
In the meanwhile, thanks for stopping by. As the books get written, I hope to return to my website with some news – and there will be some in the forthcoming months, I promise!

Jane Killick Podcast Author Interviews – Coming Soon!
Every month I’ll be interviewing some fantastic authors and finding out a bit more about how they tick. I’ll be delving into their lives, their inspirations and the backgrounds about their books in what I hope will be an interesting listen.
It’s being done through my publisher, Windtree Press, with the podcasts published both here and on their website. Or sign up via the likes of iTunes and YouTube to get your monthly fix. So as to not freak anyone out having to look at writers talking on video, they’re recorded like a radio interview, with visual elements added for the video. For example, here’s a trailer:
And here’s an audio-only version.
The release dates are the first of each month, with Maggie Lynch (aka Maggie Jaimeson & Maggie Faire) the first to take the plunge on September 1st. Make sure you tune in!

I’ll Use Any Excuse to Get a Man In
I am hopeless at DIY or anything around the house, so when I need something done, I “get a man in”. At one stage in my life, I had so many tradesmen traipsing through my home painting the windows, fixing a leak and pruning my plumb tree, it became a common phrase: “any excuse to get a man in”!, which I would say with a little wink.
The tradesmen who came to my house only ever painted windows, fixed leaks or pruned trees. Apart from the occasional conversation about the weather, that was it. However, I wondered what would happen if a woman wasn’t joking when she said “any excuse to get a man in” with a suggestive wink. If only part of her employed him to do odd jobs round the house, while the other part had something a little… more… seductive in mind.
The result of that is my new short story, Getting a Man In. At less than £1/$1 in ebook, it’s worth a look. As always with my writing in this genre, it’s quite fun Here’s all you need to know:
Getting A Man In by Jane Killick
When things go wrong, Suzie always gets a man in. Electricians with beer bellies, kitchen fitters with bad breath, tree surgeons with unsightly tattoos. But when Adam the sexy plumber arrives at her door, she wants more from him than fixing her shower. Even if Adam needs some persuading.
A fun short story of sexual frustration, rejection and a temperamental bathroom.
Another romantic comedy from the author of If Wishes Were Husbands and Fairy Nuff.
