How much research did you have to do on the whole BDSM thing? You seem to know a lot of the correct terms and stuff and I was wondering of that was a personal thing or just good research. Also, will we see more of Olaf, because he was cool in a serial-killer type way, and lastly, how do you pronounce Jean-Claude's name? I hope we see more of Jean-Claude onscreen!

BDSM is a part of our lifestyle, but I also do awesome research, because some of my characters' preferences are not my own. Yes, we'll be seeing more of Olaf, not sure when though.

This is kind of similar to my last question but slightly different so I feel justified in asking. Would you ever be willing to write short stories of her and her loves relationships deepening? What I mean by that is, Frost and Merry fell in love largely off screen. It would be nice to see just them going about their daily lives and/or hanging out and seeing what they fell in love with and how

After Affliction, Anita stated that she wasn't engaged to her men since her 2 of her other men, her girl and JC's girl had a problem with not having rings as well. There was no mention of this being resolved in Shutdown, does that mean because of these 4 somewhat insignificant people (as in not people Anita/JC love) they can't fulfill their happiness and get married?.. That seems like to much drama.

Will the new series of Merry (which I have read at least a dozen times and live for) translate to our current political, economic and racial climate?. I've always pictured Darkness as African although I know he is meant to be a shadowy jet dark. There is something about the light and darkness that has become the norm. Anyways fingers crossed.. I can't wait for more.. I love your work! Nightseer, Anita read them all:)
