A Prunty and Brontë girls

The Boston Movie Examiner mentions the actress Meredith Prunty who as her own website says:

Creativity runs in her family genes as Meredith is a direct descendant of Hugh Prunty, the paternal great-grandfather of The Brontë Sisters.

Wendy Purdy explains her relation with books on Bluffton Today:

Growing up in England, and spending most of my childhood in the Lake District walking the same grounds as Wordsworth, Potter, and sometimes the Brontë Sisters, it was inevitable I would grow to work with books.

Saint Louis Post-Dispatch interviews the author Sheila Kohler:

You've said you liked the movie-version of your novel "Cracks." Are any other films in serious development? 
Not so far but I think this one would make an excellent film. Let us hope! There are also, of course, many versions of "Jane Eyre" which was the inspiration for my book, "Becoming Jane Eyre." (Jane Henderson)

Australian politics and the Brontës, a new combination. In The Australian:

Perhaps we were wrong to see a Jack Lemmon-Walter Matthau dynamic between Tony Abbott and Clive Palmer, and that what they have going on is something more akin to Jane Eyre's Edward Rochester, and his attic-bound wife, Bertha. And Mr Rochester is still at the tight-lipped stage of proceedings. (James Jeffrey)

Consequences of not acting against the rogue clampers. A letter in The Telegraph & Argus:

On holiday in the UK with friends, I had intended to visit Brontë country.
After reading the letter from Professor Dwain L Eckberg (T&A, July 2) I have decided not to go to Haworth as I cannot afford to pay £90-plus for car parking.
I have, therefore, decided to cut my visit to Yorkshire short (without regret) although I enjoyed seeing my family relatives. (C Murray)

Book Lovers Inc. interviews the author Anna DeStefano:

Imagery and setting seem like an important part of Her Forgotten Betrayal. What led you to choose a gothic backdrop for your latest suspense novel?
I’ve fallen in love with Gothic imagery, since long before I wrote my first Legacy book. I’m more of a Brontë girl, than an Austen girl ;o) Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights… These are novels that read and re-read every year.
