I met Jane back in 2012 when we were doing booQfest in Northampton. She was launching her fabulous novel Vampire State of Mind at the time. I also did a Q&A with her in 2014 for another blog I help out with, and she offered up a guest post on Why Vampires? She's a fabulously fun lady. You can follow along on her blog and on Twitter. Huge congratulations and may the champagne bubbles never make you sneeze x
