Hi! If you could go any where in the world during any time period, where would you go and why? (Also, I absolutely adore your Keepers series! Thank you SO MUCH for writing them!)

Yay for loving KEEPER! And ha, my answer to this question is going to be pretty boring because--much as I love history--here's the thing about the past: it smelled really, REALLY bad. No toilets or indoor plumbing. Total lack of regular showers (and often re-using the old bathwater for multiple people). No deodorant. Lack of refrigeration so even their food storage was iffy. And I have a FREAKISHLY strong sense of smell. So I'm pretty sure if I went back in time I'd last about 5 minutes before I was gagging and begging the universe to take me back to the modern world. ((hugs modern technology). So my answer is that I'd love to stay in the present time, and go to Ireland, since I haven't had a chance to visit there yet.

Hi I was just wondering,(and Im pretty sure this question has yet to be asked) So you have a plot whisperer named Kari Olson who occasionally helps you out with the plotting system and whatnot... So i thought "Maybe she knows all about the story and what's gonna happen" Well,is it true? I mean does she know where the story is going and so so?
