Biography
Melissa Jane Nathan was a journalist for a decade before she began writing comedy romance novels in 1998, including The Nanny (2003) which featured in The Sunday Times' Top Ten.
Career
For the first ten years of her career she was sub-editor for Prima Magazine, feature writer for Women's Weekly and contributor to The Jewish Chronicle.
When working on Persuading Annie (2001), Nathan was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had no time for most journalism written by cancer sufferers: "self-indulgent dirges without a helpline in sight", as she described them; she tried to joke about cancer's unoriginality in her Jewish Chronicle column and then added:
"That was what you call laughing in adversity. It's what makes people smile mistily at me, as if I'm fading in front of their very eyes while telling knock-knock jokes. What they don't know is that I have daydreams about being the oldest person at their funeral."
Ironically, the characters in Nathan's first book, Pride, Prejudice and Jasmin Field, were starring in a play version of Pride & Prejudice that benefitted breast cancer research. The book was written prior to Nathan knowing about her own future diagnosis with the disease.
