Oh, yes, I get the feeling she's a very nice person, a few people on the mailing list sent her emails and she sent back lovely replies. And this despite the many nasty "WHY HAVEN'T YOU FINISHED YET??" emails she must have been getting (if the number I got was anything to go by)

But I do wonder about her internal decision making: One unfinished series I can understand, but when it gets to three it might be worth considering not starting any more...(especially with YA fiction, since your market will very quickly get too old to appreciate any new books)
