Hi! I'm such a fan of the Chronicles of St. Mary's books--reading #10 now, and glad to see #11 comes out next year. Do you hope/plan to just keep writing them, or is there an end in sight? I ask because I will need major preparation to wrap my mind around the fact that it might all end!

Hi Ashley, thanks for your question.
Like Max, I don't give the future a lot of thought. I don't think St Mary's can or should go on for ever. I can't think of anything worse than people saying, 'Oh, she's just writing the same book over and over again,' which is something I really don't want to have happen.
That's one of the reasons I've started new series - The Nothing Girl, Elizabeth Cage, and there's a few Regency Romances I'd like to have a go at as well. And it's quite relaxing to write in a different genre as well.
Hope this answers your question. Best wishes, Jodi.

Jodi I have a theory and I'd love to know if I'm right or not. I seem to remember you saying JODTAA was going to be a stand alone book until you realised you had more material. I remember Markham got shot and it's my belief that he was destined to die until you decided to continue the series. Is this right? Is this also why he's also thought of as indestructible?

Can't think of a way to word this so it's not a spoiler.
In the Battersea Chronicles the end of the story rests on a point of law in the constitutional monarchy - that of a member of the Royal Family declaring the government unfit for purpose. I know a little about constitutional monarchy but not nearly enough to know - is that legally possible? Or are have you stretched things in your alternate universe?
