Huzzah! Kate Orman is one of the better NA writers. When I sold off a lot of my NA's due to a move, I made a point of keeping all of hers. (Also she once called me perverse on a mailing list, but that's another story.)

I hope all the Virgin NAs get re-released, as well as the Missing Adventures. And the EDAs as well from BBC! There's a lot of them missing from my collection that I'd love to have.
