Do you have "nothing to announce at this time" because,

1. There is honestly nothing to announce, because nothing is set in stone and the earth could be hit by a meteor tomorrow.

2. There are juicy, relevant details that you have been sworn to secrecy by both business and secret organizations by signing your hand on a non-disclosure agreement.

3. There is nothing to announce because life is miserable and why get people's hopes up?

Are there any funny/tragic/hilariously tragic instances in your novels going through translation? I am about to buy ASOUE in Italian, and was just wondering.

Your book series was the best children's book series I ever read, and it helped me get through some very tough times, including the untimely passing of my mother, who bought me all of your books. What made you decide that you would do the ending in the way that you did, pulling no punches and leaving many things ambiguous? Did your publishers object to an atypical ending? And will we ever see a book series in-between ATWQ and ASOUE?

would you ever try teaching a college/high school/elementary school?

Also, would you give homework or extra credit, and what would it be?
