Jan Irving - Exclusive Author feature for Star

You have many different genres in your backlist, which is your favourite?

I don’t really have a favorite. I think that the story comes first for me and if it says ‘yeah, I’m historical’ then I have to figure out how to write it. Or if it’s SF romance, then I have to dream up a logical world building scheme. It is not easy writing that way, believe me. 

Jan Irving - Blog Tour stop with Love Bytes

You have to ask yourself as a writer why you bother. I mean, what is it that makes you put the concentrated effort into telling a story. If we make it look easy, it is not. Basically you have to hold your story ‘mood’ for however long it takes to spill out the goods. It can take a week or years. I’ve had experience with both.

Jan Irving - Female First feature

I discovered Pinterest in 2014 and it was to change my life as an author for the better.

I didn't really understand it consciously until last January a friend of mine, a gifted yoga nidra teacher (yoga nidra is a deeply powerful meditative sleep) held a woman's only manifestation party. For me, I had a lot of things I wanted but I saw no clear way to get there.  But I was having a lot of fun on Pinterest, looking at pictures and imagining both story worlds and things that drew me for my own life—though often it's pretty interchangeable.
