No pressure, but I fully intend to introduce any future hypothetical kids I have to Alexandra Quick as soon as they finish the Harry Potter series. So that gives you a vague deadline of, like, 15-20ish years unless you want to keep my hypothetical future spawn with a cliffhanger. If I don't have any kids by then I'm sure I can bother someone else's if necessary in order to make good on this emotional blackmail.

I understand and have your back. It's frustrating as a fan of AQ, but given how in-depth your series is, the time dedication IS monumental. If you decide a certain chapter doesn't work, that is like climbing up Everest and then deciding to go back down just to make the climb a bit smoother this go around. I imagine as a writer, and a human, you could list easier, more productive things to do. So while I hope for you to finish someday, always keep doing what you love, whatever that may be.

Also, I check your blog regularly and enjoy your book reviews though I don't comment much on those since youve read a lot material I am not familiar with, but you've got a knack for it!

I love Alexandra Quick. I only just discovered your writing, and have already read all your books. I noticed you saying somewhere that reviewers have told you they liked AQ just as much as Hogwarts Houses Divided. I too read that book first, and have to admit, while I was impressed with the level of quality a fanfic had, I thought it had at least a flaw that I noticed - at least for me, it seemed as if you wrote a little too much about every character's emotional reaction in a given situation at times, I thought it made for slightly overkill ( ... )
