chipperTHERE WILL BE SPOILERS.
Seriously. If anyone comments here at all, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. So please don't read and then yell at me because you encountered spoilers. You were warned.
You can also start a book discussion at my website forums, with less need to be concerned that I will see everything you say! In case you wanted, you know, discussion free of authorial influence, since I always wind up getting involved in these things.
Have fun!

Ah, but that's not how the reward system works. She writes a book, you buy the book, she gets money. The money serves as an additional reward for writing the book (finishing the book is apparently enough of an incentive in itself), making writing the next book more appealing, et cetera.
If you give Seanan all of your money now, you're breaking that part of the feedback loop, which limits you to telling her that this was a wonderful book and you're definitely buying the next one, and so forth.
Now, if you can figure out some way to get All The Books Seanan Is Going To Write Ever, then you could give her all of your monies right now. But that would involve a time machine, and risk paradox, with a possibility of imploding the universe. (On the other hand, if you can figure out a way to do that safely, could you pick up copies for me? Thanks in advance.)
