Tessa asked Nancy Springer:

I've been a fan of the Enola Holmes books for a long time, but something has always bothered me: What do the letters on the hardcover copy of the first book mean? SEBQR?

Nancy Springer Thanks for being a fan! As for the cover art on the first book, you'd have to ask the artist, but I'm pretty sure the idea was simply to appear mysterious and cryptic. The "letters" in the trees have no meaning as far as I can see. But I love the 221b running backwards in the wrought-iron fence! Again, I truly thank you for being a reader.

Glad to know there will be more adventures coming, just finished reading the last one and was really hoping there would be a follow up.?

BookSweetie asked Nancy Springer:

I wish I had dozens more to read. I'm interested in how long it takes you to get a good first draft done -- and if you find yourself having to do a lot or a little rewriting? Also, did the first in the series take longer to write than the subsequent books? Did any of the books "write themselves" much more quickly or more slowly than the others?
