Novelist Jong (5)
I believe the answer is:
erica
'novelist jong' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for erica that I've seen before include "hardy shrub" , "Heathland shrub; girl's name" , "Heather's Latin name?" , "I care about Heather, oddly" , "growing up on the moors" .)
