Yes, I am DELIGHTED to be mentioned in the Acks! And with an Official Title, no less! :-)
"Czarina of Traffic", indeed. I still can't keep from giggling EVERY time I see or think about it.

i just finished the book.... talk about cliff-hangers. I couldnt believe it when i finished.... i dont think i can wait 3 years to find out what has happened to everyone!!!
This is a SERIES not separate books and if you write a certain way for 6 books, how does it work if you change it up for the 7th? IT DOESN'T.
I want to make this clear-I LOVE the first 6 books, have read them all 5 times each. Even the 5th times, I could not put them down. Echo-I don't even know if I can finish it!
1. Why didn't Roger and Brianna ask Jem about what he and Jamie found in the cave?
2. What is the connection between Jem and Mandy - are they pychic?
3. The letter from Frank Randall to Brianna about her son that she did not finish.
4. That Jem is in the mine on the train and Roger thinks he went back in time.
5. That Buccleigh was in the present and his timeline said he would be dead at 38.
6. That Ian is dead (the father).
7. That there are so many loose ends to this story....how many books can she possibly write?
8. It seems that if only Jamie could time travel, they would be much better off in 1980 then in 1777.
9. Why do so many bad things happen to Jamie and Claire?
