We really enjoyed chatting with Jane and hearing how it was working with the Tolkien estate and bringing us the version of Lord of the Rings we all now know and love, as well as how she came to found the Voyager imprint at Harper Collins. We also talk about how her experience as an editor informs her own writing, and chat about the latest book, Secrets of the Bees.
