6. Every time I've seen her she has been approachable and chatty.

I consider her a goddess.

The very first time I met her, about six years ago at a Bubonicon, I came away from the encounter feeling I'd known her most of my life. She has that way about her.

Did she tell the story about when she was doing research on her books on the Blitz, and her husband Courtney came across a group of women who were exactly the people she was writing about? I hope so. It's a great story.
