Cat Cafés, Fiction, and Finding Joy with Jan Edwards

In this episode, we chat with journalist and novelist Jan Edwards about her second Mallorca-based novel, The Mallorca Cat Café. Jan shares the inspiration behind her feline-filled fiction, what it’s like writing in retirement, and how her love for cats found its way into the heart of her storytelling.

We discuss the real-life sanctuary that sparked her plot, the challenges of self-publishing, the importance of editing, and what it means to find community through writing groups. Jan also opens up about life with her husband Richard, her early BBC career, and why she’s passionate about writing feel-good fiction.

Whether you're a cat lover, aspiring author, or just someone who loves a happy ending — this episode is for you.

📚 The Mallorca Cat Café is available now on Amazon in paperback, Kindle, and Kindle Unlimited. https://mybook.to/M3pg
