I seriously think book 12 was suppose to be final and she did make a huge decision in that book. It should have ended there even though 13 is probably my favorite. All the rest the writing changed, the male characters became hollow versions of their former selves. I still think she wrote 14, 15, 16, 17, and possibly 18 but after that someone or someones took over. I do believe she has some say though. She said on Facebook that her paranormal series released was on hold due to publisher pushing for a June release of Tricky Twenty-Two. She later released the next in her paranormal series with a co-writer.
It's all a mystery of how much she takes part in the Plum series anymore.
