Jane Eyre is so atmospheric with its somber moors, inscrutable employer, and creepy mystery in the attic. What kind of atmosphere did you create in your story?
Kelsey Bryant
I created an atmosphere that I am familiar with, which in some ways actually contrasts with Jane Eyre. Autumn in Texas is much warmer and brighter than northern England, for one thing, and there's nothing inherently creepy about my heroine's surroundings. But I wanted to show how we can relate to a favorite book even in a totally divergent setting. There is a small mystery that my heroine, Erin, discovers, and her employer is mysterious in similar ways to Mr. Rochester, so in those ways at least, Erin's story inherits the atmosphere of Jane's story.
