[January 16
Citrus Heights CA] Author Vera Jane Cook will appear on The
Authors Show Radio through February, 2011. In this interview, she
discusses her award winning, must read women’s fiction novels
Dancing
Backward In
Paradise and Hearts Upon A
Fragile Bough.
“I write,” stated Ms. Cook, “because my
spirit beckons me to do so. Mostly I enjoy writing for the 'other'
world I create with characters, all of whom are all bits and pieces of
people I've known, including myself.”
An only child, Jane began reading novels at an early age and was deeply
influenced by an eclectic group of authors including Nelson DeMille,
Anne Rice and Jodi Picoult. Jane worked in the professional theatre for
over a decade, falling further in love with the plays of Tennessee
Williams, Eugene O’Neil, Lillian Hellmann, and Sam Shepherd.
She has appeared in television, regional theatre, film and off
Broadway. Some of her credits have included both classic and original
plays at Playwrights Horizons, WPA Theatre, Kennedy Center, Theatre for
The New City, Bucks County Playhouse and many others.
She worked as an education territory manager for The New York Times and
presented many workshops on using the newspaper in education as a tool
for teaching English as a Second Language. She has worked as a Project
Manager for the Education department of the New York Daily News, as
well as an Education Specialist for Oxford University Press (ESL
division) and as an Education Consultant for Scholastic.
Jane has completed five novels and has developed her newest
workshop/seminar: The Corporate Crunch: Get Creative or Crack. This
seminar/workshop is presently available for workshops, seminars, and
adult education courses and is also the basis for her first non-fiction
book.
Dancing
Backward In
Paradise, Jane’s
first published novel,
received rave reviews from Midwest book review and Armchair Interviews.
It also won the Eric Hoffer Award for publishing excellence and the
Indie Excellence Award for notable new fiction, 2007. Hearts Upon a
Fragile Bough is Jane's
second published novel.
“I take risks in my writing,” stated Ms. Cook.
“Readers who enjoy eccentricity, humor, history and flawed
characters would like my books. They are very human stories and I write
as poetically as I can because I enjoy the rhythm and descriptive
beauty of the English language.”
Jane has published short stories, articles and newsletters and has also
written early childhood curriculum. Her published curriculum has been
for
Weekly Reader and McGraw Hill.
