USA Today (3/04)
Jane Slayre, my April book with Charlotte Bronte, gets a mention in the Life (Books) section of March 4th's USA Today. My UK publisher calls it "A superbly written page-turner in which Jane Eyre is re-imagined as a Buffy-style vampire slayer."
If you get the paper and happen to see it, yay, that's me.

Whoo hoo!!! Way to go Sherri. Your hard work is getting noticed. I remember when you first mentioned you had a great idea for your next book and now here it is!!! I hope that it continues to get you recognition, and as I've previously said I think it might be time for me to fight those High School demons and give this re-imagined Jane Eyre a go!
Just wanted to add, the article is already up on their webpage.

Maryanne, I'm a fan of Jane Eyre, so it was all done with love and care-- but it is a lot more fun than Jane. There's a fresh injection of humorous situations.
My daughter is reading Jane Eyre this year in school. She didn't love Pride and Prejudice (my favorite book), so I was hoping to add something to pique interest in Jane Eyre for the Twilight generation. My goal would be to sell mine, obviously, but also to encourage readers to go back and read the original with new interest. Charlotte Bronte had a sharp wit and some really strong ideas of feminine equality that I didn't notice when I read the book in high school. I just remembered wanting Jane to feel pretty and not be so beaten down. I think Charlotte and I brought out the best in each other.

Very excited to read it and you deserve all the success!! I think you should write a book set in Disney!

Thanks, everyone. It was fun to be in the paper, though it wasn't much. My mom wanted to know why "that other guy" was getting all the attention. I tried to explain that "that other guy" started the mash-up trend with Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and became a major bestseller and has two books being made into movies (P & P & Z, with Natalie Portman and his new Lincoln book, by Tim Burton). But try explaining to a mom.
Shari, it would be so fun to do a Disney setting. Sometimes, I manage to work in some references, but I haven't figured out how to get Disney to hire me more exclusively or how to convince them to let me be artist-in-residence at the Grand Floridian. I can dream.

So true! I'm often blown away by hearing about other people's jobs and talents. The other day, I saw some pictures of quilts Shari (Murphy1) stitched and I was just in awe. Gorgeous!

Thanks, Amy! I'm so excited. Simon & Schuster has built a website around Jane Slayre with games and fun extras, due to launch any day. They've put an interview with me up on my author site. I'm getting all kinds of attention that I've never had on one of my books before, which is fun. The Readers Guide for book clubs in the back of the book is really funny (I didn't write that part, big credit to the marketing team).
