How many Keeper books do you think there will be? And, sorry to keep asking questions (I just love your books so much!), but what is the chance of a movie of it? (High, maybe, low)? I understand that you're waiting for the 'right' movie makers. *Gasps* has Disney ever contacted you yet? (And I say YET because I believe there is a good chance!)

Honestly, the answer to both of your questions is: I don't know.
I've been letting the story steer me as I write the books, so I never really know if I'm going to need another one until I get to the end. Right now I'm in the process of writing book 4, so I can definitely say "there will be four." But I won't know if there will be more than that until I finish, and once I know of course I'll announce it.
As for the movie, ALL books pretty much fall into the "low" chance of having a movie made. It's just how Hollywood is. Movies cost MILLIONS of dollars to make--and they don't make THAT many each year. Plus *I* as the author am also being a bit selective, since I'd like it to be a good movie. So at the moment, it's all very wait-and-see, which doesn't mean it will never happen. Usually books get made into movies years after they're published, so it definitely could still happen. But I wouldn't recommend vowing to not eat candy until it happens. That could be a loooooooonng time w/o candy!
