I'm very excited about today's interviewee. As you know, I had been looking forward to the publication of Jane for months when a review copy happened in my lap and I let out a gasp of joy. Being a modernized retelling of Jane Eyre with a rock star-ized Mr. Rochester named Nico and a cover that hits every last one of my aesthetic buttons, it was sort of made to order for this reader. Needless to say, it more than lived up to my not inconsiderable expectations and I have been recommending it on a pretty much daily basis to family, friends, co-workers, neighbors . . . you get the picture. It's now just under a month until the book is out and, in anticipation of the release, I invited April Lindner over to dish about all things Jane. She kindly accepted. Please welcome April! First things first: The Cover. I am in deep smit with that cover. Did you have any input and what was your reaction upon seeing it for the first time? I adore the cover too, and was blown away the
THIS IS SO EXCITING! But how are we supposed to wait until September?
ReplyDeleteI know. The eternal question . . .
DeleteA four part series, eh? I guess that makes us quadruple lucky :) Wonder what Miss Stiefvater thought of Beyonce's baby name...
ReplyDeleteKatie, exactly. :) And I hadn't thought of the name connection there. That's funny.
DeleteOoo. Interesting! Four part series? I'm checking out the links.
ReplyDeleteYup. It sounds just so very much fun, doesn't it?
DeleteI'm definitely getting the books. Want. And now you're blog has nested replies!!
DeleteLol. It does indeed. What do ya think?
DeleteDoes anyone know what it's about or if it's paranormal?
ReplyDeleteAllie, the link is to her announcement where she includes a summary. It is paranormal (or supernatural, at least) and includes a search for a Welsh king, bad boys, ancient curses, etc. So basically all the good stuff. ;)
DeleteBRING IT! That's how I felt when I saw her announcement too. I'm so glad she's getting to write the novels that she started when she was younger. Hope this one is just as good as The Scorpio Races.
ReplyDeleteI know. Those stories fascinate me about her as a young writer and how those ideas are being allowed to see the light of day now.
DeleteOh man, I'm a total Stiefvater whore as of late. I'm listening to Shiver on audio, and reading Scorpio Races on the side, and pretty much had heart palpitations when I saw this cover. Yay!
ReplyDeleteHehe. I know the feeling. I love glomming onto an author and just tearing through everything she wrote.
DeleteI just saw this one yesterday too!! Cannot wait.
ReplyDeleteSeriously. After THE SCORPIO RACES, how are we supposed to wait with anything resembling decorum?
DeleteI love not knowing much, too.
ReplyDeleteLets us savor the possibilities...
