This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

Jasper Fforde The whole Temperance Brennan thing was part of a 'Character Exchange Programme' idea I did with Kathy Reichs. She had Temperance reading a Thursday Next novel, and I had Temperance appear in my book. All the stuff I wrote I sent to her for approval, and she generously agreed to everything - a fine lady. I also had to agree that the characters were not transferable if I sold the movie rights. That's the tune of it!
