Michel Sizaire

Michel Sizaire asked Jodi Taylor:

Good day Jodi: I'm reading book 3 and I'm wondering; why are the mission folks, not using under the skin, tracking devices?

Jodi Taylor Hi Michel - thanks for your very excellent question. Which is what politicians say when the answer is less than very excellent. When I started writing these books it obviously made sense for them to have some sort of tracking device but as an author, I couldn't make it too easy. I couldn't have them saying, 'Oh God, we've lost Max again but never mind - she's half a mile away in that direction,' so I gave them tags and tag readers but they couldn't be that efficient otherwise there would be no drama. (Lack of drama is not often a feature of St Mary's life but you know what I mean.) Hence, tag readers that work quite well when the author wants them too and less well when she doesn't.
There's an episode in Book 4 when the tag reader works too well and another in Book 11 when it doesn't. Blame the author - I do.
Best regards, Jodi.

Hi Jodi So far, I've read the first two St Mary's books and will be reading more. The short stories look very interesting. Do you think they will be available in paperback for us old fashioned book people any time soon? Anyway, love your writing. Thanks Fred

Anita Elder asked Jodi Taylor:

Love your books, Jodi, and eagerly awaiting the next one! Question...throughout the books, you allude to a big war that happened in the U.S. and borders closing. It's been driving some of us in our book group crazy, since you haven't yet revealed why it's even important to the stories. Do you have any plans to elaborate on that event in the next or future book?
