I'd have to go with Jed and Abby Bartlet on THE WEST WING. They are Exhibit A in the defense against the bullshit proclamation that far too many writers make that married couples aren't interesting to write (often cited when making feeble excuses for dragging sexual tension beyond all possible limits or for breaking perfectly good couples up). While President and Dr. Bartlet have their issues and struggles, they are a solid, happy couple, one where they are devoted to each other, and who are genuine partners in their endeavors together. They are a joy to watch, and a textbook example of how to maintain conflict and interest and depth in a couple that is already in a devoted relationship.

As a reader, I prefer e-books; in recent years, most of my new book purchases have been electronic. As a writer, do you have a preference for how your work is published? The SCE series speaks to the marketability of an electronic-only release, so I imagine it's professionally equivalent. But on a personal level, are you as satisfied by bits and bytes as by something you can put on a shelf?
