Jo spent two years writing #LONGBOURN.....a lifetime day dreaming! Sadly, her Grandmother died before she published.


Member of the audience gave a shout out for the audio edition of #LONGBOURN - a great "listen"! Jo agrees.


Jo's childhood friend lived in a vicarage. That childhood memory of exploring the attic, the land, influenced her writing of #LONGBOURN.


Much credit to recent historical works, esp. by Amanda Bickering for Jo's research. #LONGBOURN. Jo even cleaned floors using tea leaves!


Jo explains the design of #LONGBOURN, the events of PRIDE & PREJUDICE background. Jo's book - a "subquel."


If Jo lived in Austen's time, she would not be going to the ball. Her Grandmother's background was in service.


"Bookstore Joe" from @ubs_events introduces Jo Baker, author of #LONGBOURN. Jo begins! Was introduced to Jane Austen by her friend Emma.

Special thanks to Northshire Bookstore Saratoga for bringing Anne Rice and Christopher Rice to Saratoga Springs NY


Best advice that Anne Rice has given to her son, @ChrisRiceWriter: "Write the book you want to read."


Anne Rice: "I feel that the female characters I create are not treated fairly by reviewers." It's easier for her to write abt males.


"Where did you come up with the name Lestat?" Anne Rice: It was a mistake. I thought it was an old Creole name, but it was really Lestan."


Q: Which character would you want to meet in real life? Anne Rice: "Lestat."


Kid in audience asks Anne Rice for writing advice. "Don't let anyone discourage you. Stick with it. Keep everything you write."
