I have the highest respect for Verlyn Flieger; her talks at Tolkien 2005 were excellent, and her way of handling questions (even stupid or off-topic!) was very kind and gracious. I was also able to have her sign two of her three books; they're excellent, though I haven't managed to read them from beginning to end yet. I usually dip in to whatever interests me at the moment.
