For the latest Scots Whay Hae! podcast Ali spoke to writer Jenny Colgan to hear all about her latest novel Close Knit, published by Hodder & Stoughton.
Jenny talks about the personal inspirations behind Close Knit, how and why knitting is integral to the plot, the reasons behind the setting of Carso, and the north of Scotland more generally, why she made the novel contemporary, her approach to writing characters, and she felt it was vital to but community at the centre of events.
She also stresses the importance of the romance in romantic comedy, sets out the challenges and rewards of writing dramatic scenes, and explains why she included instructions for knitting a bobble hat (and/or headband), with the hope that readers may find a new favourite hobby.
Jenny also talks about her life as a writer, how it began, and how it's changed over the years. One of the most widely read authors to ever guest on the SWH! podcast, it was such a pleasure to be able to talk to Jenny Colgan about this new publication, and so much more.
