I just want to know the story behind the "case of the incindiary cat" comment!
Lois has thrown out lots of one-off comments throughout her books, each of which *could* be the start of another story.
But, but, but....
She only writes one book per year. Just doesn't write any faster, and only that fast when life doesn't land too hard. And, to top it all off, she doesn't like to write prequels, or backstory, or such. She just doesn't like to try to fit details into already established storylines. Extensions are fine, what happens next is great, but not old history, or some story in the midlife of a character who you know already survives. I can understand this limitation, but it means lots of itches go unscratched.
