AMong the many christamsy-themed things in the site, there's an advent 
calender (extra stuff) and I'd swear there's a new window open every day. So 
maybe this advent calender marks not only christmas but the announcement, as 
a countdown, I don't know. I, too, think this change in the text means that 
she's finished the book and that we'll have a release date announced pretty 
soon. Otherwise it doesn't make sense. OTHO, Why update the site with the 
"no news" bit where she clearly states that she's still writing? Unless she 
finished the book, I don't know, yesterday.
Cheers,
Fridwulfa
