I think writing to her is a great idea. You might tell
her how many fans she has here (you probably were
already planning t do that) and how many of her books
are already scanned and in the collection. As for our
buying her books -- I get mine from the library, but
I've looked at the bookshelves in the grocery store
and drugstores where they have popular paperbacks for
sale and not one so far has had one of hers, though
they do have other popular authors such as Maeve
Binchey, Sandra Brown, Grisham, etc. I've wondered
why. Is that something she doesn't want?
