I listened to Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, and part of Chapter 4 in the audiobook Imager's Challenge. How many inches is a digit?

Thank you. I have enjoyed your books for decades. I do not have a question, I just wanted the thank you, and this will not post without a question mark?

Stephen Finnemore
Stephen Finnemore asked L.E. Modesitt Jr.:

Your Recluse series jumps around in time from two book sets to the next, in your other novels you follow the three book series method. Compared to many other authors, you are the only one that seems to jump in time completely, where others just use the "flash back" or legend tales. Do you find this to be unique in your writing or is it how the stories have developed in your exploration on how they want to be told?
