What inspired you to start the project?
My daughter, 16, was going to read Jane Eyre for a school assignment this year. It is one of my favorite books, so I decided to read it again, too. While reading, I kept finding all sorts of places in which paranormal activity seemed to fit right in. I blog with the Whine Sisters (http://www.whinesisters.com) and I happened to joke about it. Jane Slayre! With Jane as a vampire slayer! But my friend Kathleen Givens said, "Don't joke! That sounds like a hit. Get it off the blog and write it." I took her advice.
We think you have done a wonderful job at rewriting Jane Eyre. How daunting of a task has it been to tear apart a classic and add in a paranormal twist?
In Jane Eyre, we already know which characters are "monsters", but how did you go about adding in their paranormal character in Jane Slayre?
Who's your favorite character in Jane Eyre and why?
Who was your favorite character to re-write in Jane Slayre?
Are you planning on working on any similar projects like this in the future?
I am. I really hope so, anyway. I'm always reading, and I favor the classics. If I came across a book that inspired me the way that Jane Eyre did, I would jump right in and put my spin on it. It hasn't happened yet. The characters of Jane Eyre are still so alive in my mind that I think of working more with a few of them, too. We'll see. I'll keep you posted! Thank you for talking with me. I've had a great time with Mundie Moms. :)
