The whole book industry was talking about Jane Harper’s The Dry<\/em><\/a> before they even got their hands on a copy. It was dubbed ‘the next big thing’ and Jane certainly didn’t disappoint! The Dry<\/em> is an internationally bestselling, multi-award winning success and we’ve seen Jane become that ‘big thing’, just as predicted.\u00a0The Dry<\/em> has been formally optioned for film by Hollywood star Reece Witherspoon, with production talks well underway.<\/p>\n

Our love of this author is set in stone and there are many avid fans in the office. Gratefully, we haven’t had to wait that long for Jane to return with her next book. Force of Nature<\/em><\/a>\u00a0is out today and we were lucky enough to have Jane visit us yesterday. She signed hundreds of copies of Force of Nature<\/em>, a story about five women who are reluctantly sent on a retreat in the wilderness,\u00a0but only four come out the other side.<\/p>\n

Jane doesn’t waste time, with book three already in the planning stages!<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I always knew I would love to write more books\u2026 with a journalism background, I think I work best under a bit of pressure\u2026 it felt more natural to just get back into it.\u201d – Jane Harper<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\t\t
