I read Ella when it first came out and then several times more since then. When I heard the movie was based on the story I was very excited that my mom would finally be able to see one of my favorite stories(she can't read). However I was sorely disappointed. How did you feel about how they destroyed the the strong character of Ella and spoiled the romance of the relationship between Ella and Charamont?
Gail Carson Levine
Well, of course I prefer the book! But I think the movie is fun, and it has brought a lot of readers to the book, for which I'm enormously grateful.

I just finished rereading A Tale of Two Castles - thanks for the good read! I like how you turned the fairy tale on its head and made a whodunit out of it, too. I'm curious - how did you come up with the names Jonty Um, Menore, and so on? I think I can guess where you got Frair and Maydsin, and maybe Thiel's name, too.

You've mentioned before that you are a pantser. Does this make rewriting harder for you?
