Katherine Applegate was similar. When I was younger, I was seriously obsessed with the Animorphs books. And there were glaring inconsistencies because, as it got up into the 30s and 40s, with a new book coming out on the same day every month, most of her books were ghostwritten. (And just to be clear, the ghostwritten books were remarkably well-written, exactly like Applegate herself). Whenever inconsistencies were pointed out, they were usually changed in later editions of the books. And Applegate happily referred to them as KASUs--Katherine Applegate Screws Up.
I know this doesn't have much of a point, but it's just another reference to a great author versus a good author. LKH is good (well, she used to be), but she isn't great.
