Jane Heller
Ideas come from so many places. I'll read a magazine piece or overhear a conversation in a restaurant or get an email from a reader asking about a character. I draw on incidents in my own life. As Nora Ephron famously said, "Everything is copy. Everything is material."

Jane Heller:
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?
