We all need an escape from time to time, and laughing is how we get through the dark times. It keeps us sane and lowers our stress levels. Humor has always been my salvation, and I hope my books provide it.(less)

I was deeply disappointed with your last book I read. I don't understand why you had to put the porn graphic sex scenes in the hospital bed. I read "An X to Grind" and "Secret Ingredient" and thought I had found my favorite author. I hated the way you ruined "Some Nerve" by detailing the disgusting scenes in the hospital. Very disappointed! why did you feel it necessary to be so graphic?

Jane Heller Hi Fran, it was not my intention for the hospital scene in Some Nerve to be offensive. None of my editors or other readers found it to be.

I write humorous novels and sometimes sex can be comical. But humor is subjective and you're certainly entitled to your opinion. "Hate" is a strong word, however. My books are meant to be lighthearted escapes. Perhaps you'll find another of my novels that is more to your liking.(less)

Long Time, No Post

I keep forgetting about my poor “Mainly Jane” blog, not giving it nearly the same amount of attention that I’ve been giving my “She-Fan” Yankees blog. So it’s high time I posted here!

After my move to Florida full-time in May, I was beset by some medical problems (I’m currently nursing a wounded leg), so I’ve had plenty of time not only to research the nonfiction book I’ve been intendin
