It's eight books now. I'm only up to the fourth, 'A Wizard Abroad'. Five is 'The Wizard's Dilema', six is 'A Wizard Alone', seven: 'Wizard's Holiday' and finally, eight is titled 'Wizards At War'. Book eight was released in October, BTW.
Also, don't forget the books in the spinoff series about feline wizards who help maintain the Manhatten area world gates. They are, in order, 'The Book of Night with Moon', and 'To Visit The Queen' (which, for some reason, is called 'On her Majesty's Wizardly Service' in the UK).
I'd like to see more of the feline characters. My only regret is that at most I'd only be able to reference them in my fic - it'd be rather impractical to bring them along for the ride, especially seeing as they don't stray from Manhatten except on the most urgent business.
I'll probably make up a gate maintenance team for the Tokyo area. It'll take some research, but I think I can pull it off rather nicely (after all, cats are cats wherever you go). And even then, this team would probably only do as a bit role, much like Tom and Carl from canonical series. They'd probably point out 'that big fellow who keeps to himself' to my character and Haru.
And yes, in case you people haven't noticed, I'm feeding this plot bunny. It strikes me as having merit for becoming a truly outstanding story...
Wonder what Miyazaki would think of it? He does, after all, have a great appreciation of young adult literature (remember Howl's Moving Castle?).
Oh crap! Can you imagine Miyazaki bringing Duane's series to anime!? O__O-NeoRaven

I find it amusing that she, like Pratchett, frequently gets poorly written e-mail/snailmail that accuses her of ripping off Rowling.
