Jean asked Samantha Ellis:

How To Be a Heroine is one of my favourite memoirs, and also loved 'Take Courage'. In 'HTBAH' you mentioned you were writing a play about Gertrude Bell-what is it called, and is it published? I am interested in her and would love to use the play in my school drama club if this is allowed?

Samantha Ellis I am so sorry I never saw this question till now. I’m afraid i am not really able to license that play. But thank you so much for thinking of me and my work and I wish you all the best with your drama club!

Did you never read the Betsy-Tacy books by Maud Hart Lovelace when you were growing up? The heroine in these books which take her from childhood to adult is a writer in early 20th century mid western USA and has been cited as an inspiration by many feminist writers. They were before your time initially but have been reprinted due to a coterie of dedicated fans.

Lisa Mcbroom asked Samantha Ellis:

Do you see any similarities between Cathy from Wuthering Heights and Scarlett O'hara from Gone With the WInd? Also do you feel as if the heroines are your sisters?

Donna Maderer asked Samantha Ellis:
