Hm...I thought she was finished. I mean, the last I heard, she was re-working a couple of chapters. As for the wait, well, we don't have much of a choice there, do we? sighs Yes, I too am glad that Jo puts quality ahead of everything else...Ms. Francine Pascal could take a lesson from her there. (I'm still bitter about the downfall of the "Fearless" series, and if that happened to Harry Potter, I don't know what I'd do.)
