Author of the Week: Jill Mansell
Jill Mansell is one of the UK’s best women’s fiction writers, and rightly so. She’s been writing books since 1991, when her first book Fast Friends was released. She’s since gone on to write another 19 books, all of which have been enormous successes. You can’t go into a bookshop without seeing a large chunk of a shelf taken up with Jill’s brilliant books!
Here’s a bit about the lady herself:
“Jill Mansell lives with her partner and children in Bristol, and writes full time. Actually that’s not true; she watches TV, eats fruit gums, admires the rugby players training in the sports field behind her house, and spends hours on the internet marvelling at how many other writers have blogs. Only when she’s completely run out of displacement activities does she write.”
Jill’s latest release is Rumour Has It and I really enjoyed it. The book was a really fun read, and had a great story as well as likeable characters which is everything a good book needs to be a success! You can read the review of Jill’s newest book here on Chick Lit Reviews & News.
There’s been no word yet of Jill’s next book, but since she seems to release a new one every year, we’re hoping that there will be a sign of a new one early next year. I’ve only read some of Jill’s latest work, including An Offer You Can’t Refuse which was my first Jill Mansell, and it had me hooked! I can thoroughly recommend her books as they are enjoyable and fun stories that you can’t put down. It is chick-lit at its best, and that is why Jill Mansell deserves to be our Author of the Week!
