A New Series and the Contest Continues, Day 3

Joanna Campbell Slan was born in Jacksonville, Florida, but she grew up in a small town in Indiana. After graduating from Ball State University with a degree in journalism, she worked as a newspaper reporter, a newspaper ad salesperson, a television talk show host, a college teacher, a public relations professional, and a motivational speaker. In that capacity, she was named by Sharing Ideas Magazine as “one of the top 25 speakers in the world.”

When her son, Michael, got his driver’s license, Joanna was freed from carpool duty and finally able to pursue her dream of writing full time. She has since written eighteen books, eleven non-fiction and seven fiction.

On August 7, Joanna’s newest series—The Jane Eyre Chronicles— begins with Death of a Schoolgirl and features Charlotte Brontë’s classic heroine Jane Eyre as an amateur sleuth.

Two Sundays ago, we announced a contest featuring of Joanna Campbell Slan’s newest book Death of a Schoolgirl. This is the first mystery in The Jane Eyre Chronicles, which picks up where Charlotte Brontë’s classic Jane Eyre ended.  Yes, Dear Reader, you might win a signed copy of this new book as well as a stylish tee shirt (pictured). Here are the rules:

1. Each Sunday on this blog, we will ask you a question about the original Jane Eyre. If you haven’t read it, it’s available for free through Google books. If that’s too much trouble, you can find the answer to the Sunday question each Monday on Joanna’s author Facebook page (http://www.tinyurl.com/JCSlan)
2. All four of your answers are due on Monday, August 27. Send ALL FOUR answers to Joanna in an email at JoannaSlan@aol.com
3. You must put JANE EYRE in the subject line.

Are you ready?

Although life is harsh at the girls’ school that Jane attends, one teacher makes a tremendous difference in Jane’s life. When Jane is falsely accused of being a liar, this teacher refuses to accept hearsay. Rather she encourages Jane by saying, “Continue to act as a good girl, and you will satisfy us.”

QUESTION #3:  What is the name of this teacher?
