I don't think Duane has confirmed that at all-- it's just an extremely educated guess given the parallels between the personal histories of both women-- both are divorced American women operating a horse farm in Ireland. Too, page 37 of Abroad specifically mentions that Aunt Annie has two sons named Alec and Todd, which squares exactly with the names of McCaffrey's sons.
I love Duane's Easter Eggs. I let out the most undignified shriek ever when I realized she'd managed to hide the Doctor in High Wizardry.
And I see your point-- Ronan's a very flat character in Abroad. I suppose for me, Ronan's actions at the turning point of War have-- something of an additional layer of resonance in light of his initial reluctance in Abroad?
