Before her crime debut, Janice worked as a journalist, magazine editor and speech writer for the Cabinet Office and Home Office, as well as writing for the stage and screen. Her first feature film Retreat came out in 2011, and she won the award for Best New Screenplay at the 2014 British Independent Film Festival.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, Janice published her chart-topping debut thriller <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=2958989\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The Appeal<\/em><\/a>, which has been a big hit with Suffolk readers. Composed of emails, texts, police transcripts and other documents, this unique interactive murder mystery filled with amateur sleuths and thespians took the crime thriller to new places.<\/p>\n<p>Janice&#8217;s second novel, <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=3046979\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The Twyford Code<\/em><\/a>, revolves around a secret code spotted in a famous children\u2019s author\u2019s work by an English teacher who subsequently disappears, and the former pupil who starts to investigate her fate decades later. You can find Janice&#8217;s books on the <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolkcommunitylibraries.co.uk\/borrow\/our-catalogue\/\">Suffolk Community Libraries catalogue<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;19px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.3em&#8221; link_font_size=&#8221;19px&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who were your heroes as you were growing up and when did you first start writing?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think I had human \u2018heroes\u2019 as such, but in my \u2018tweenage\u2019 years I loved horses. Watching them, feeding them, riding them\u2026 Only, I lived in an outlying dormitory suburb of London and there were no hoofed animals within a twenty-mile radius. I\u2019d never touched a horse, let alone sat on one, so I read pony books instead. Most were cheerful jolly-hockeysticks tales from the 1950s, but one author stood out: Patricia Leitch. She wrote several standalone pony books, plus a series called <em>Jinny at Finmory<\/em>. Her stories are shot through with Celtic mythology and have a distinctly 21st Century sensibility to them. Jinny Manders and Shantih the Arab mare became my heroes.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been writing ever since I learned how to. I read English at UCL because in the days before universities offered degrees in Creative Writing, English was the next best thing. I only went into journalism because it seemed to be one of the few professions where writing was a major part.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Before you became a bestselling writer you had a distinguished career as a speechwriter and a journalist. How does the pressure of writing a book compare to the high pressure world of politics?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Government communications is probably the hardest writing I\u2019ve ever done. Not least because when I started doing it, I\u2019d spent the previous 15 years writing about tweezers and mascara for a trade magazine. By comparison, novels have far more generous deadlines, but they are much, much longer, so it all pans out in the end.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your writing routine?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Artistic people are traditionally messy and chaotic, but I find having a fierce routine really helps the creative process. I\u2019m at my desk by 8.30am every day and will write intensively for three to four hours. After lunch I have another three to four hours of re-reading and amending what I wrote in the morning, plus catching up with correspondence and other bits and bobs (like answering these questions).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you decide on the innovative format you used for <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=2958989\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>The Appeal<\/strong><\/em><\/a> and as the author how did you keep track of the characters?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was a happy accident that became the aspect of the book I am most proud of. Before deciding to write a novel, I\u2019d had a vague idea for a TV series about a couple who return from volunteering overseas and whose experiences there inform their suspicions about a local fundraising campaign. When I started <em>The Appeal<\/em>, I thought: why not take the same story, but present it as emails that fly back and forth \u2018off-stage\u2019 so to speak, between minor players? That\u2019s why we don\u2019t hear from the three main characters and it\u2019s one of the most effective devices in the whole book. Once in the flow of writing, I kept track of the characters naturally\u2026 it helped that they are all very different!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your latest book, <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=3046979\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>The Twyford Code<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, is released in January 2022. Can you tell us a little about it? How was it to write?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Because it was written back-to-back with <em>The Appeal<\/em>, I had to make sure I didn\u2019t effectively write the \u2018same\u2019 book twice. So I made some rules. As <em>The Appeal<\/em> had been an ensemble story with female main characters, I vowed the second book would follow a single character\u2019s personal journey, and that character would be male. I started it in August 2019, but the majority was written in covid lockdown. I was totally focused with no distractions and it flew on to the page. I think the fact it\u2019s essentially a first-person narrative really helped with the flow. I loved the main character, Steve, straight away and hope readers do too.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there anything you can share with us about your latest project?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m writing my third novel at the moment. It will be published (all being well) in January 2023.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is on your &#8216;to read&#8217; pile at the moment? Do you get much time to read?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I struggle to read while writing because what I\u2019m reading interrupts my own writing style and rhythm. Having said that, I\u2019m fortunate to be sent advance reader copies of forthcoming books these days. On my stack is <em>Sundial<\/em> by Catriona Ward, <em>Nasty Little Cuts<\/em> by Tina Baker and <a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=2900334\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Annie Stanley All At Sea<\/em><\/a> by Sue Teddern (which is already published.)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the best and worst things about being a bestselling author?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There really isn\u2019t any \u2018worse\u2019 thing at all! It\u2019s been an amazing journey from the start. The best thing is connecting with readers and hearing how the book has spoken to them. One young woman told me it had inspired her to pursue a career in law. How wonderful is that?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you tell us one thing about yourself that your readers may not know?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have a family connection to the Suffolk area. My paternal grandmother was from Wangford and Lowestoft. She went into service at Henham Hall circa 1900 and her brothers are commemorated on Wangford War Memorial (the three servicemen by the name of Brown). She couldn\u2019t marry at the usual age because so many men of her generation were killed in the First World War, so in her late 30s she moved alone to London. There she met and married my grandfather, by then a widower of 60, and they had my Dad, who remained very fond of Suffolk throughout his life.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder if any distant Suffolk relatives have
