A Goodreads user asked Deborah Harkness:

You mention in a previously answered question that Philippe is a favorite character of yours (he is mine as well, btw). I am curious of the wide range of female characters if you have a favorite (aside from Diana of course)? Also, have you ever ridden side saddle? If so did you enjoy it?

Deborah Harkness My favorite female character is Miriam. And no, I have never ridden side-saddle. It terrifies me!

I have heard some authors who write a series mention (or have even shown readers) that they have notes and material about the world and characters they created that they never used in the series for one reason or another. Do you have material like this?
