Janet O’Kane went straight from Enid Blyton to what her Mum liked reading: crime novels. And despite occasional dalliances with other types of fiction, that’s where she has happily stayed.

Her career before turning to writing full-time included selling underpants to Roger Moore in Harrods and marketing nappies for Boots the Chemist. It was when she helped run a GP surgery that she decided a doctor would make an excellent main character for a series of crime novels.

Janet lives in the Scottish Borders with her stonemason husband and two cats, two dogs and far too many chickens. She is now working on the sequel to No Stranger to Death and learning to tap-dance.

I got the idea when we attended a local Guy Fawkes party on November 5th (known as Bonfire Night in the UK) and as we stood looking at the enormous bonfire I said to my husband, ‘That would be a good place to put a dead body.’ ‘You’ve always said you want to write a book,’ he replied. ‘So write that.’ (less)

It's been a long time



Despite regularly tweeting photos of my dogs/cats/chickens, I don’t tend to write about personal stuff and I don’t plan to start now. However, my lack of blogging for an entire year needs to be explained, in case you all think I’m being opportunistic, putting up a new post in the same week as I publish a new book.
The past year has been horrible. My husband and I have experienced ill-health, s Read more of this blog post »
