From my experience lots of vulnerable women in a prison particularly sought out this type of literature
I also read somewhere that Martina Cole is another v popular author in women's prisons. She's ace although you need a strong stomach for some of the violent bits. Also Mo Hayder.

Anyway, with Jack, she's definitely got a little circle of regular detractors on Twitter now hasn't she? I find it very reassuring. It's no longer a flying monkeys circle only.

She's a publisher and counsellor? How's that?
Hedging her bets as she's rubbish at both, is my guess.

I adore that this therapist lists her specialties alphabetically.

re: crime novels, it's like someone said about Caroline Calloway - Jack doesn't want to write a series of "trashy" crime novels, she wants to have written it with no effort on her part

Absolutely spot on, in fact crime fiction and non fiction were much sought after.

Agree! Her absolute support of Jack would make me not go anywhere near her other services. How can she be any good, seriously?

Yes I think so. She also went to Venice just before Jack got “whisked away” She is also very good friends I think with G Hayden who is a cook book writer and used to work for …… THAT MAN !! I only know that cos I follow her too.

As a Conservertive constituent I can assure the Canal that I have not withered, begged or starved due to their largess.

Praise (rinsed) beans.

It makes sense, crime and misery memoirs can give people a catharsis for bad experiences, also helps people orient themselves; reading a story with clear-cut good guys and bad guys can help vulnerable people to feel like the world's been put to rights, in a sense. Also crime is just entertaining, everyone needs that!
Jack's Big Book of Misery is in another, ghoulish world though

Oooh, ninnies! Listening to Radio 4 right now talking about the cost of living crisis and an expert discussing CANNED BEANS said that whole beans pretty much cost the same, steel has gone up in price by 200% and the can itself has gone up by 50%!!!!

They are all up in Jack’s niche - except that they aren’t coz she’s not mentioned this once (has she? Happy to be corrected!)

How will the Tin Can Cook frame cans becoming too expensive for us poors? Will she start recommending (prepares to faint….) fresh food?!

I’m sure this hasn’t gone how she thought it was. Think she would share this extract and Twitter would go wild and declare it the best and most important political writing in the last 50 years…

Can I be cheeky and ask if anyone knows the rough timing of the sideboard glamour shots? I’m dying to read everyone’s live take on it…

Would've been may/June two years ago. Maybe July? Iirc it was just after Edinburgh and just before the black eye.
