Apologies if this has been asked before, but when do you think Hades wrote this book?

One of the extracts which appears in TEA mentions Jane Eyre which suggests it can't have been written before the action in TEA begins. So when you do think is most likely?

Lol... was half expecting this to be a spam message ;)

The way I see it we have three options -
(i) Hades wrote it while lounging arround Rochester House stuck in Jane Eyre - doesn't the book mention a period of several months?
(ii) Hades didn't write/complete it - its a chimera dredged up from the Well of Lost Plots.
(ii) Hades isn't dead - giving him ample time to write the book post-Thusday

That's the way I see it.

Sorry for the delay in reading and responding.

I'd not thought of (ii). I shall have to consider that one.

(i) and (iii) had both come to mind, though if (i), I wonder how the book found its way out of Jane Eyre and into the "real world". And as for (iii), I suppose the same question could be posed of Hades himself.
