I was! I loved Northern Exposure. It's been so long since I've watched it, you're making me want to see if I can find it on Hulu or Netflix. And yes, I can see some of the "Alaskaness" that both stories share. There are a few similarities, but the situation and the characters of Nadia and Kache are so different from Joel (a NY doctor) and Maggie (bush pilot), that I hadn't made the connection. But I'm honored by the comparison, because it was such a great show. Thanks, Stephen! Now I'm off to see if I can find it. (Book Three might be delayed because author was binge-watching Northern Exposure...)

I do have another book in the works. I'm not sure when it will be published, but I'm hoping to finish writing it this year.

Hi April,
Please forgive my slow reply--I didn't see your question until now! Picking a favorite character is a bit like picking a favorite child: impossible. I love some of my characters because they were easy to work with. They showed up every day and revealed who they were. Others I love because they've challenged me in new ways or taught me or surprised me. A lot of them did all of the above. I will say that Nadia did all of the above and more. My favorite characters from other books? I have many. But at the top of the list are Cal from Middlesex, Olive Kitteridge, Owen Meany, Liesel (and Rudy) from The Book Thief, Adah from The Poisonwood Bible, Alma from The Signature of All Things, Ruby from Cold Mountain. From childhood: Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables and Karana from Island of the Blue Dolphins. Thanks for your questions!
