Elissa B asked Megan Shepherd:

What advice do you have for writing a book like The Madman's Daughter?

Megan Shepherd The Madman's Daughter involved a lot of research. Because it was a retelling, I looked into HG Wells and what he wanted to say with The Island of Dr Moreau. I also did a lot of research on the historical time period, and on Victorian-era science. But mostly, I was trying to capture the feel of a historical novel with prose that felt more modern.

ivy asked Megan Shepherd:

Hi Megan, Just finished The Madman's Daughter and really enjoyed! I was wondering what made you want to write these retellings of classic works, and out of the three books in The Madman's Daughter trilogy, which one has been the most difficult for you to write? PS. Not relevant to the question but I love all the covers in the trilogy, they're beautiful; yet, at the same time really dark and mysterious. :)
