After two published cookbooks, I don’t think she’s an “aspiring writer” any more and is simply a “writer.”

I don’t know that he has any appetite to write for Marvel again any time soon, but here’s hoping that, after he gets done beating the crap out of the heavy bag in his garage, Jeph Loeb teams up with more great stuff with Tim Sale like Superman for All Seasons or the Batman: The Long Halloween.
