Not sure how many she actually wrote, but The latest was published in October. BECAUSE OF THE LOCKWOODS There are still short stories to come, though and I'm providing the introduction to the next lot that are published. This will be in 2016.adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15826710558292792068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-11512253304947495032015-04-07T09:21:39.815+01:002015-04-07T09:21:39.815+01:00Whipple was her husband's name.

They are wonderful, and I have been acquiring and enjoying them ever since I first heard about them. She gets right into the heart of all her characters, including the children, and the stories are incredibly compelling. Thanks for this, Adele. I believe I still have one or two to track down (not sure that Persephone have published ALL of them yet?)
