Hi Melodie!!! I've really enjoyed your two retellings! I love that you took one of Jane's less known books and told it in such a well written update. I can't wait to know what your next book will be, any hints?

I've definitely got more books in the pipeline - I'm just finishing up writing my first original novel (yikes!) and I'll be posting more details on that to my Instagram in the new year, and then I've got another retelling in mind. I'd also love to pick up Emmie's storyline, from Once Persuaded, and perhaps give her a novella, but that might have to wait for a bit.

Thanks for reaching out, it's always lovely to hear from readers!(less)

Hello there, Melodie. Your retelling of Jane Eyre, was such a treat! I'm usually not into modernizations of my favourite classics because most of the times, they're disappointing and i end up frustrated. Your novel, though, was respectful to the book and the story did not seem weird, even though it is set in a modern law firm. I also appreciated that the story of your book was not too steamy. Any book news?

Modernizations certainly are tough - and intimidating to write - but I too adore the classics so I always try to go at the task with love. My second novel Once Persuaded, Twice Shy came out this past February (a modern retelling of Austen's Persuasion), and right now I'm working on my first original romance - we'll see how that goes! But I'm on contract for a few more books, and I would love to do more retellings in the future. I try to post book updates to my Instagram or website. (less)

Quotes by Melodie Edwards (?)

“I've got just enough skills to survive on my own, but I don't have the skills to be falling in and out of a fantasy life with you. If you fall too many times, you don't get up again. Maybe people who have families, who have other loved ones and people to pick them back up, can do it. But people like me can't.”
― Melodie Edwards, Jane & Edward
