Jill asked Jennifer Donnelly:

I loved the Tea Rose and was so excited to learn that you were the author of Beauty and the Beast, Lost in a Book. How did you come up with the ides that you used to expand on an already wonderful story? I loved it and wished it would never end!!

Jennifer Donnelly Thank you, Jill! The short answer is Belle and I are a LOT alike: we're both nerdy feminist bookworms, so digging deeper into her story was easy for me! Here's more on my inspiration for Lost in a Book: http://www.jenniferdonnelly.com/lost_...
