Title: Jane Asher ?
Post by: Stratford on August 24, 2004, 09:45:55 AM
I was browsing my local library yesterday, when I stumbled over several novels written by Jane Asher (even translated to Norwegian). I first I thought "Wow, that's a coincidense!" but reading through the information about the author, it was 'our' Asher indeed!

Am I the only one who was so daft I didn't know she was an author?

I felt a bit bad for her though, reading through the information at the back. It went kinda like this:

"JANE ASHER proves her worth with this new novel. - Not only is she a marvellous, captivating writer, but she also has an impressive past as an accomplished actor, journalist, artist and photographer. Yet, here in Norway we know her best as Paul McCartney's ex-girlfriend."

Talk about a career wipe-out! ;D "She did this and this and this, but still, she's his bleedin' ex, right?"

I have no plans to read any of her stuff, but still, it was an itty bitty shock.

She also makes cakes - you can buy them in Supermarket stores over here in the UK!

Does she? I'll have to check. What are they called? Asher Cakes? Or Macca's ex cakes?

Apparently she's angling to be the UK Martha Stewart!
