Message:Taiane: Yes, I can understand that it would be very difficult to read a whole book in an unfamiliar language.

Perhaps you could write to the publisher if they have an eamil address in your book, or on Google and ask whether they mean to publish the second Jane Austen book

Message:Sim, seria muito difícil. Por mais que esteja estudando inglês, ainda não sou boa o bastante para ler um livro inteiro em inglês... Queria tanto que saísse em português...

Message:Nora: I hope you like my new novel, 'The Debutantes' as much. It has four sisters, daughters of an earl, but quite poor for their class. It takes place not long after the ending of the first world war.
By the way, I love the twist in the second episode of your story.


Rhys: Once you have a sentence or so for each chapter send the outline to me on the Story Club and I can probably help you to expand the story. I find that kids often have great ideas, but they rush through them too quickly. This especially applies to boys.

Taiane: I don't think that the publisher in Brazil bought the rights to 'Jane Austen Stole My Boyfriend'. You could get it from Amazon but it would be in English. Would that be too difficult for you?

Message:hi Cora! I've just read the two Jane Austen novels! they are amazing :') my four favourite characters are George(Jane's brother), Jenny Copper,Thomas Williams and of course Jane Austen! Will you please write some more books if you get time? I went into Easons and asked did they have " I was Jane Austens best friend" in stock, but they didn't! I was so sad! but thankfully the library had it! I lent my copy of " Jane Austen stole my boyfriend" to my friend and she is enjoying thoroughly. ( I doubt she likes it as much as I love it!) It's hard to believe that Christmas is over! Please keep writing!

Message:I've just read it and put it on and made a comment below. Read and see what you think.

It's a very fragile piece of writing and I mean that in a good sense. It would be a pity to brush the gossamer off the wings so I'm not altogether sure about what I recommend. Anyway try it and we'll see.

Message:Happy Birthday for Monday, Minnie. When you get to my age the years just fly past and there is no need to pretend to be older than you are! On the contrary, in another twenty years you will start subtracting the years and then you will grow younger!

Sooty: Oh, I'm getting more and more keen to write another Jane Austen book. I just must make the time!

Message:Hi Cora!
I would just like to say I have read both the Jane Austen books and I thought they were amazing! I fell in love with them and I was wondering if there would be a third one? Thank you!

Message:Aoife: You're a great reader to read 'Lorna Doone' so quickly.
You must some day go to Exmoor and see the little sunken valleys and the high moors - even though it's a bit touristy these days it is easy to imagine it as it was three hundred years ago.

Have you read 'Anne of Gren Gables'? That's another old favourite of mine.

Name: Cora Harrison
Message:I start with a numbered list of chapters and try to have at least ten before I allow myself to start. Then, but every writer is different about this, I force myself to do a certain number of words a day. I do two or three thousand a day, depending on how near my deadline for my contract is - you could perhaps set yourself three hundred and see how you go with that.

In the case of The Montgomery Murder and the other London Murder Mysteries I set myself to end each chapter on a sort of cliff hanger - a place where the reader feels impelled to go onto the next chapter in order to see what happens next.

Message:Thanks, Rhys. That's really useful information and I am delighted that you have done the ending. I also like to do a some biographies - back story of the main characters in the book (but don't puit these into the book - just have them at the back of your mind- use dialogue to show character)

How to fill the pages well, hard work, I'm afraid.

Message:I finished Lorna Doone last night. I think it is one of the saddest stories ever! I was suprised at Ruth and I never expecyed her to be good at doctoring. I thought that after she was first mentioned she'd fade away from the story. Thanks so much for reccomending it!

Thanks.

Message:Taiane: I'm glad that your story is progressing well.
Yes, Mary, in 'Pride & Prejudice' is not the rounded-out character that Lizzie is. I've sometimes felt a bit sorry for the three younger girls in the Bennet family - no one seems to care too much for them. Lizzie and Jane are great friends and rather shut the other three out and they react in different ways - Lydia, by being wild and silly, Kitty, Lydia's shadow, and Mary by an excessive show of virtue.

Message:Cora, estou avançando no meu livro. Eu quero mostrar para as pessoas não somente os defeitos de Mary, como falava em "Orgulho e Preconceito", mas mostrar que ela também poderia ser, dentro dela, uma moça doce e romântica. Mas, por fora ela seria aquela moça rígida de seus pensamentos, crítica, verdadeira, tola que acha que é sensata. E bem orgulhosa, também. Acho que Mary é uma mistura de tudo isso...

Message:Taiane: that would be wonderful if you could get your sister to translate. I know French, German, Latin and some Italian, but am only guessing when it come to Portuguese.
Aoife: I envy you reading 'Lorna Doone' for the first time. Wait until you come to the bit where he rescues Lorna. It is so wonderfully romantic. I think I will read it (for the thousandth time) again to-night.

Ellis: I love cousin Eliza. A collection of her letters were found not that long ago and were published. I read the book and fell in love with the character. She and Henry were very happy together. I'd love to write a book about her some day. She had such a romantic and adventurous life.

Message:hello Cora. After reading the Jane Austen books again (i loved them so much-they will always be one of my favorite ever books) i had more of a chance to think about the characters and pick up on more details! i love Eliza's personality. she is so confident and bubbly. i researched her on the internet and she married henry austen after her first husband, which i thought was really really nice! i love how you write the books and the scenes with Thomas and Jenny are so gorgeous.

Message:Thanks for reccomending the books. Iknow that my school has a copy of wuthering heights and I've found a copy of Lorna Doone. It's really good so far and I'm at the part where Jeremy Stickles is telling John about the story he heard from Benita the servant. Next time I'm in the library I have to look for Emma.
