[[Category:Authors|Jenkin, Lorraine]]

Lorraine Jenkin first had a niggle for writing ten years ago when she used to fit it in amongst a busy job and a wild social life. Finally, on a rainy Sunday morning, she decided she needed to calm down and do things properly, or give up fighting and become a ravaged work-obsessed alcoholic. She took the decision to quit her job, rent out her house and set off for South America with little more than a tent and a toothbrush in order to write her first novel. Lorraine spent her days walking alone across the Argentine Pampas, swatting flies, getting bitten by dogs and having fights with men with knives. She spent her nights shivering and scared in a tent filled with mice and bugs. Eventually she returned home and had her book, Chocolate Mousse and Two Spoons published by Honno.
