Stationery Freaks: A Deep Dive into the Prolific World of Author Jenny Kane (and Her Emotional Support Pencil Case!)

In this very special episode Rob and Helen are joined by our very special guest, the incredibly prolific author Jenny Kane.

We have briefly mentioned Jenny in the past as she is Helen's writing mentor.

In this episode we chat about the astonishing breadth of Jenny's literary career, spanning over two decades and encompassing more than 200 short stories and over 70 books across various genres and pen names – from her novels as Jenny Kane, and historical fiction as Jennifer Ash, to her "X-rated" works under KJB (for which she's won awards!).

Honestly, the part about Jenny's dedication, routine and writing habits is pure Gold.

  • Jenny shares with us the reasons behind her "emotional support pencil case" and her meticulous colour-coding system for pens.
  • Learn about her superstitious approach to choosing themed notebooks for each novel, and how these notebooks become the "little Bible" for every story, meticulously documenting plot, characters, and even overused words.
  • We also chat about Jenny's remote teaching courses, connecting with students globally.
  • Jenny chats about the reason behind the "Jenny Kane corner" in a coffee shop and the surprisingly early starts to her working day.
  • Plus, don't miss Jenny's ingenious and hilariously practical "Desert Island Stationery" survival kit – complete with a ruler for swatting and drawing pins for mapping!

Whether you're a fellow stationery enthusiast, an aspiring writer, or simply curious about the life of a highly successful author, this episode offers a fun and delightful glimpse into Jenny Kane's world of words, routine, and, of course, beloved stationery.

And also why searching for Jenny Kane Mars Bar Scones is deffo worth doing.
