In 2010, she released Jane Slayre, a mash-up parody of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre which added vampires, werewolves, and other such supernatural elements to the original story. The book was released during the literary mash-up trend started by Seth Grahame-Smith's hit Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and was cited by reviewers as a positive example of the trend.
