I reached out to VR last year and she is well, but life has gotten in the way of writing. No doubts she would appreciate knowing this story still holds folks attention!

A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.
Thanks for replying to my message, and please send my love to VR, I'm a huge fan
