JAYNE ANN KRENTZ – AUTHOR, PATIENT
We recently welcomed Jayne Ann Krentz to our monthly lectures to
discuss her approach to health and wellness, learn about behavior
change, and chat about her writing.
For those who already love Jayne’s books…’nuff said! Whether you
know her as Jayne Ann Krentz or her other pseudonyms Amanda
Quick and Jayne Castle, you may already be eagerly reading her most
recent book “Secret Sisters,” just released this past week. Jayne is an
accomplished writer in several fiction styles, more notably romanticsuspense, and her books have been on the New York Times bestseller
list numerous times.
In our interview together we delved into the topic of pre-diabetes and
how she has been able to keep diabetes at bay for over ten years now.
She revealed how she is able to stay focused on her health, and how to
keep motivated to follow supportive dietary and exercise regimens.
We also moved into the topic of her writing – what keeps her ideas
flowing, how she comes up with characters, and her process of writing
and publishing.
