EP447: Jessie Keane — “Don’t Be Afraid.”

Jessie Keane has Romany heritage and her Gran — who had ’the sight’ — foretold that that Jesse would not only write, but be famous for it. 6.5 million copies later and with each book becoming a Sunday Times top ten bestseller, that prediction has come true. Jesse celebrates fifteen years since her debut novel, Dirty Game, with her latest thriller, Never Go Back. She tells us how she found her voice as a writer and why she never takes no for an answer. The Two Marks also answer the questions, ‘What’s the worst that can happen?’ by revealing their own most humiliating moments.

And in the extended version for Academy members and podcast Patrons, the Two Marks discuss putting real people into your fiction, how much of yourself should you put in your novels, and what to do when you get into the state of flow and download mode, and much more!

WE DISCUSS…

Living with a ‘completion complex’
Being fearless with your writing and your career
And why Jessie waits overnight for the next download…
