Did Darcy pass her FSA exam?
Yes, of course! Originally, I had a line in Hang the Moon that mentioned the vacation Elle & Darcy took to Vancouver was partially to celebrate Darcy passing her exam, but the line got chopped during copy edits/ page proofs and I didn't realize it wasn't mentioned somewhere else in the text. Darcy is brilliant and dedicated, so of course, she passed with flying colors! Rest assured, everyone in my books not only lives happily ever after relationship-wise but is fulfilled in their careers, too.

Are you going to write more books set in the 'Written in the Stars' universe? Or more books about Elle & Darcy?
At this point, I have no plans to revisit the WITS characters. If you've read Count Your Lucky Stars, I hope you enjoyed the epilogue. I gave all of my characters the conclusion I wanted for them.
