Aunt Marge is getting good reviews from the pre-sales set, which makes my Christmas season a little brighter. One of my beta readers told me that her husband asked if she was going to make dinner, and she answered, "Not until I finish this book!"

People ask where ideas and characters come from, and I find (too often) that they come from me. I've become a little Aunt-Marge-ish in my old age. I don't have much patience for people who won't help themselves. I don't like to wait for things, not even long introductions to songs: Just sing, for pete's sake. Of course I'm not like her in some very important ways, so you don't have to run screaming if you should happen to meet me at Wal-Mart.
