BLOG TOUR: Jenny McLachlan talks all things Betty

Today the lovely Jenny McLachlan, author of Flirty Dancing and Love Bomb is here today to talk about her latest narrator, Betty.

Betty and Bettye

I always listen to music when I write. Rather than distracting me, it acts as a shortcut into a scene and my narrator’s voice. I had six months to write Love Bomb and I was also working full time as a head of English at a secondary school and I had two little girls. I had to write whenever I had a moment and I carried my tiny laptop everywhere. Listening to music was a quick way of jumping into back into Betty’s world and cutting off from the real world.
