"She is currently on leave." "Leave? Most important people call it a sabbatical, or hiatus. The proletariat calls it a holiday, or a vacation. Most people who are "on leave" or "taking a leave of absence" are in trouble. What did she do?
She claims to be off typing a book. (As will everyone, eventually.) The use of "leave" is a bit odd. (People don't always return from those, do they?) We weren't so sure she will be back, but we may just be expressing hope.
