Disappointed but I thought they were ambitious with so many authors at once being interviewed. Here's hoping that the interview does get rescheduled. Thanx Jonetta for you diligence.
Ladies and gents I apologise in advance for this. And ask that you forgive the thought but I was wondering. I also know the questions where sent off already and is way pass closed any way Has Ms Roberts thought of writing an outline of her final book for Eve and Roarke? i don't want a manuscript but an outline of how it should end. Why am I thinking of this? If anything should happen to our beloved author I don't want to be left in limbo with what ifs and wonder what coulda, woulda, shoulda. Or maybe I don't want to know if such a thing exist but maybe just put a thought in Robb's ear? Life is short and long may she live !!!!!!!!! Okay scary fan moment for the year I think. * hanging my head with embarrassment *

Okay. Thank you for the correct term. And thanx for not making me feel bad. I don't even know how that thought popped into my head. Now I'm thinking maybe that one has a big epilogue. Because need to know what happens to the rest of them.
Mod
Now that you've put it that way I'm kinda agree Michael. Don't want know the end. I think the thought of Eve's family growing to include baby and Roarke and Summerset and know that Robb has said that would never happen or would end the series. But your idea us much better. Thinking of Eve continue up and onwards

I guess I always like to imagine that "The End" would be a new beginning for Eve, Roarke and a family. And of course she would have to become a Captain so she could be on her way to Commander.
I agree, Dawn! I can understand J.D./Nora's thinking on this. I can respect it. I would never tell her what to do. That being said, it doesn't stop me wishing to see their life as parents.
I think it's because she made these characters so well. I want to see Nadine fall in love. I want to see Peabody/McNab get married and have kids.
I guess I just want all these people (my good friends who help me through my migraines and/or sinus headaches) to stay in my life perpetually.
The promotion thing has been covered quite a few times in the series.I hope I made it clear that I'm not opposing Nora's policy on Eve/Roarke as parents. I just wanted to say that personally I really want to know Eve, Roarke and the gang throughout their and my lives.

Kind of like an epilog in the back of the last book. I'd be happy with that.
I love it when they interact with children (Survivor being my favorite book so far) so maybe she could just have a kid or two stay with them periodically.
If any die hard IN DEATH reader/listener really read between the lines, Commander Whitney has offered Eve a promotion several times. She has always turned it down.She's turned down the promotions because she loves going out in the street and the chase. And the biggest reason she turns it down is SHE HATES PAPER WORK and DISLIKES BEING A PENCIL PUSHER.
We know she has turned it down. But we are talking about the end of the series possibilities.
I think that Eve would probably take the Captaincy when she was ready to move on to parenthood. Right?
I agree. But since we know JDR will not write a child in until the end, probably no Captaincy until then either.
I personally don't think that Eve or Roarke want to be parents of a child on 24/7 basis. I think it's because of their backgrounds. They like children, but do not want children of their own.
Seeing Bella, Mitzi (?) and some of the other children they have saved in different books is enough for them.
I think Roarke will want them way sooner than Eve will. But being Mavis' birth coaches just might have scared them both off the idea lol
I agree, Dawn! I think they are hesitant and a little scared at this point. But I think eventually they both will want at least one.
I have never given birth to a child. In fact it caused my divorce. Then I took custody of my great nieces and nephews. 5 in all. Today, the second oldest texted me that I will be a grandma in 7 1/2 months. I know many childless couples, all but two wanted a child but could not have them. My reason for saying Roarke wants one more us because he has stated he wants children with Eve.

Right?"I almost think Eve would take the captaincy if it comes with the understanding/ guaranty that she has moved up the ranks but it changes nothing. She still does field work, she doesn't have to play politics and don't have to bother, overmuch, with paperwork. This might also be round about the time that Peabody gets her lieutenant badge.
Michael wrote: "It might be hard for some with kids to wonder how any couple gets through a lifetime together without children, but it does happen. At least, I've heard it happens, although I don't personally know..."I've always thought any daughter would have a rough time. Number one, how would you know any boy wasn't just after you for your money? Number two, just how protective would Daddy be?
Perhaps her father damaged her so much, I mean 8yr olds are tiny, maybe she can't even have kids. Roake would never let her on the streets if she got pregnant.
The lives they led, mentally, maybe they couldn't deal with being a parent.
She can't be the cop she is if she was a parent; no set schedule, late hours, non existant sleep schdule during a case, barely time for Roake during a case. Where would a baby fit in??
