Looking forward to it! But it's on the fence for me because We sort of saw her 10ish years and 18ish years so I worry about a retread as there isn't much I think there could be, but she could surprise me! XD I already talked with her about that. The thing is, and most readers don't realize it, she CAN'T choose the main character of the book. It is OUAT/ABC people who decide who she has to write about, but then she comes up with her own story. I would be curious to know how much leeway she has as far as introducing new supporting characters. I realize the main character(s) of the story are set (with Regina at 16, I would imagine the main characters would be Regina, Henry Sr, and Cora, and possibly Daniel), but what about interactions with new characters? I can speak for Wendy, but from what she told me, she is free to do everything she wants if she introduces new characters. Using more characters from the show is more delicate because she can't take the risk to make a mess with their continuity, so she has only a few characters allowed I think.

Which explains why Red's book was mostly original characters. I agree with Hmcooper that the four existing characters she could use would be Regina, Cora, Henry, and Daniel. Did she give you any hints or anything as to what new Disney characters she is including, or anything about the plot in general?
