What better way to start the New Year than to forget the grey cold days of winter, and look forward to a Cornish summer?…
I’m delighted to say that the sequel to my Cornish friendship and romance novel, Abi’s House, is almost ready, and will be out in the world in June! That might feel a long way away to you- but in novel writing world that’s almost next week! There are many bits and bobs to do to prepare a book in between it being written and reaching your eager hands. I should say at this point how grateful and humbled I am by all the messages I’ve had about Abi’s House. It seems to have touched a lot of people’s hearts. I can only hope that Abi’s Neighbour will be equally well received.
Abi’s Neighbour will follow on from where we left Max, Abi, Beth and their friends in the beautiful Sennen Cove, at the very tip of the Penwith peninsula in Cornwall. There will – obviously- be a new neighbour moving in next door to Abi on Miners Row. I’m saying no more for now- but there will be a cover reveal very soon…
In the meantime, why not hide from the awful weather and indulge in a little Cornish sunshine via Abi’s House.
Blurb
Newly widowed at barely thirty, Abi Carter is desperate to escape the Stepford Wives-style life that Luke, her late husband, had been so keen for her to live.
Abi decides to fulfil a lifelong dream. As a child on holiday in a Cornwall as a child she fell in love with a cottage – the prophetically named Abbey’s House. Now she is going to see if she can find the place again, relive the happy memories … maybe even buy a place of her own nearby?
On impulse Abi sets off to Cornwall, where a chance meeting in a village pub brings new friends Beth and Max into her life. Beth, like Abi, has a life-changing decision to make. Max, Beth’s best mate, is new to the village. He soon helps Abi track down the house of her dreams … but things aren’t quite that simple. There’s the complicated life Abi left behind, including her late husband’s brother, Simon – a man with more than friendship on his mind … Will Abi’s house remain a dream, or will the bricks and mortar become a reality?
Here are some of the lovely review’s Abi’s House has received…
“A summer read as scrumptious as its Cornish backdrop. Brilliant!”
“This novel is a box of delights…the perfect escapist read…”
“Better than a Cornish Cream Tea…”
“Reading a Jenny Kane book is like opening a journal by a much loved friend…”

Knowing Cornwall quite well having spent 20 plus years working with Cornish recording artists and living most of my life within studio walls it is good to know someone appreciates the countryside and settings for fiction. Following in giant footsteps of authors past. Good luck.

Thanks Jane. My father is from Penzance, and I spent a lot of my childhood in Cornwall. The first book, Abi’s House, went down really well so it’s fingers crossed for book two xx
