18/02/2014 Newsround

It's Tuesday morning. You're live with Newsround, and I'm Leah with

today's top stories. Sochi Snow Queen Jenny Jones joins

us live in the studio. And: I'm Jacqueline Wilson, and stay tuned,

because I'm going to be answering your questions later in the

programme! First up, for the first time in a good while, we can say

that there are no weather warnings across Britain today, meaning the

stormy weather is over - for now. Flood waters are still causing major

problems across parts of England but the number of severe flood warnings,

meaning there's a risk to life, has now gone down to two. Next up, let's

head straight to the Sochi Winter Olympics where the GB men's curling

team are in a make-or-break game against Norway right now. These are

live pictures. They have to win this to make it through to the last four

of the competition. Britain are trailing 5-4, but they are just

about to play their last shot. This is so exciting. The British women's

team went through yesterday and face a tough semifinal against Canada.

She's the first person to win an Olympic medal on snow, now Jenny

Jones is back from Sochi and in a few minutes we will have a chat with

her, but first, he is a reminder of when she made history.

Wonderful on the down rack. Check out the grab on.

So, Jenny, thank you for joining us. First of all, what does it feel like

to have the medal in your hands now? It feels ridiculous. It's just crazy

that it is mine. Has it sunk in yet? It's starting to now that I have

come back and everyone is congratulating me. Yeah, wow, I

think I've done this. What was going through your mind the moment that

you knew you could do it? I just never knew. There were so many more

competitors to come down, and they could have knocked me out. It wasn't

until the last girl went, then I realised, oh, my gosh, I am on the

podium. It was an incredible moment when we saw you on the podium. What

did your mum and dad and family say to you? My parents were over the

moon. They rushed down from the stands. I hadn't seen them, so it

was very emotional. They were just really pleased me. They know how

hard it has been. Very quickly, Jenny, what are you going to do with

that? I will be keeping it very safe and very close to me. Thanks for

joining us on the sofa. You are amazing. Now to Jacqueline Wilson

answering your question. You'll know her for creating CBBC favourite

Tracy Beaker. Her recent book Hetty Feather is being made into a play,

and despite being busy with releasing another children's novel

she still had time to catch up with Nel. Take a look.

We have a question from Anna in Richmond, and she wants to know

which is your favourite book of all of yours? I think it would be Hetty

Feather. It was a real treat for me to write the book and I was so

thrilled when she became very popular with children. How long does

it take to write a book, that is from Courtney in Sheffield?

Generally it takes me about six months, but even if you don't write

your own book, if you try copying at the first chapter of your favourite

book, you find out how long it takes. Another question from Jessica

in London, she asks what made you want to become a writer? It was

because I love book so much. As soon as I realise that the name was an

actual author whose job it was to sit at home and write books all day,

I got the bug. A question from the whole of the fifth year in Holden

primary School in Ashton under Lyne. Do you have a special place where

you write your books? Can you write anywhere? Well, year five, I like to

ride early in the morning, and upstairs I have a lovely pink sofa,

so I lie out in my pyjamas, and if I'm lucky, one of my two gorgeous

cats comes and keeps me company and curls up by my feet, and I ride with

a pen in a notebook for about an hour. That's all from me. We're back

in half an hour. They head to the website to send us your questions

for Jenny Jones and will give them to her later.
