Pop quiz! Win an ARC!

I have had a battered and beaten ARC returned to me by my housemate (he read it, he enjoyed it, but these poor babies aren't meant to last forever). Since I can't exactly send it out to a review site, I've decided that it's POP QUIZ TIME! The first person to answer all twenty questions correctly will win the ARC. (If you already have one, you can still win, and tell me where it should be sent.) If no one has answered all twenty questions correctly by tonight, I will pick the person with the highest number of right answers. In case of a tie, it still goes to first.

People who have known me for more than ten years are respectfully asked not to play, as that just wouldn't be fair to the rest of the planet.

Game on!

Okay, it's funny that in my mind, Late Eclipses was the second book because it's the one she's working on now. Because in the NORMAL, SANE WORLD, if an author is releasing the first book in a series soon, I would presume she would then be working on the second book. Not the fourth.
