In my opinion (humble though it may be lol ) i think the writing style
is not so much a 'more developed style of writing' as it is more
characteristic of how skiff thinks. this isn't a narrators point of view
on his life, all eloquent cultured and sterile; this is how he thinks,
views his world, how he exists in his every day life. we aren't going to
see complex sentence structure along 'established lines' of correct
usage.  she's telling skiff's story from his point of view, so far i
think its excellent and i can not _wait_ for the book to come out!  I
for one will gladly break down and by a hard-cover!

I was extremely intrigued by Take A Thief and found that there was a little
bit of depth to Skif that I hadn't expected. I liked his personal thoughts
and found them a little complex and they seemed to add a touch of
intelligence to him that he often doesn't show. At this point he seems
pretty honest so I will be glad to see how his character develops into a
thief. I'm guessing its out of pure survival, after all living where he
lives there aren't many occupation choices.

 I also am interested to know why he never claims he has any kinfolk at all.
Granted they seem to be pretty scummy kinfolk but to never mention them *at
all* suggests that maybe they did something pretty horrific to Skif...other
than the miserliness and the squalor. That cousin of his seems like a real
thug. I feel sorry for the serving girl.

As for typos, I wasn't really looking for any so didn't catch any. I really
did enjoy the snippet and appreciate that you took the time to send it to us
Paul. I haven't had a chance to read the other snippet yet but am hoping to
get to it tomorrow. Nice to know I have a pleasent surprise waiting in my
email for tomorrow.

I'm am really excited about Alberich's book. I have *always* liked Alberich
and wanted to know more about him. (I'm still trying to find Werehunter so I
can read about his choosing) He has always seemed to have plenty of hidden
depths and his life as a Herald must have been one of struggle. After all,
Heralds are human too and they must have had a hard time not being
prejudiced about him.

Firecats like the Companions started reproducing, or would she be barren? It
would be an interesting side note, at least in my humble opinion *S*

A great place to find books for reasonable prices is Abebooks
http://www.abebooks.com .. They'll often have a massive selection of used
books and you can find a cheap copy in pretty good condition. I've delt with
the various booksellers on a fairly regular basis and have only ever had
trouble with one seller. (And that was more due to the fact they were four
and a half hours ahead in timezones than any problem with the bookseller
themselves.)

Other than that, there's always Chapters, http://www.chapters.com ..
Canadian prices and more reasonable shipping.. or if you're in the states,
Amazon.com .. Amazon also sells used books.

The last option is always ebay auction.. You can generally get some nifty
stuff for a good price if you put your absolute top bid in at the start and
never go back if you get outbid. (The item WILL be sold again by someone
else and it may take 2 or 3 tries but you WILL get it for a good price as
long as you're realistic.)

I think it's Karal who thinks that the reason Firecats aren't as common as
Heralds is that there's a lot more dead heralds than there are dead
priests.. and the thing is, it's not just a matter of being a dead priest,
it's a matter of being a dead *good* priest. Karse had a good chunk of time
where there were corrupt priests.

..And are Firecats really needed to the degree that Companions have become
to be needed?

I totaly agree with that! Is ML writing anything of
the sort?? it sorta seems to me that the founding of
Valdemar and the first companions were a really
important thing to have happened and I personaly would
LOVE to read all about it... Do you think if we all
made big puppydog eyes at her she'd write them...?

   I don't believe that it was just any priest. IIRC, it was stated that a
firecat was the reincarnation of a Son of the Sun, basically the ruler of
Karse. This would even more restrict the number of 'cats that were in
circulation at any given point in time.

   I would like to see a modern war between Karse and another nation at some
point, what with their deity playing such a more direct role in everything .

I'm also looking forward to more about Alberich, both in Skif's book and in 
his own.  (One of the cool things I recently realized about Skif's book is 
that we will also be seeing more about other people that I like, like Kris 
and Dirk, perhaps at the beginning their own careers as the Queen's Thieves, 
or whatever their nickname was).

I agree with you about Alberich's early time at the Collegium being 
difficult.  Heck, I don't even think he spoke Valdemarian, did he?  And I've 
always been intrigued by the fact that he and Elcarth were year-mates.  Must 
have been an odd year to be teaching at the Collegium, what with Elcarth 
coming in at the ancient age of about twenty, and Alberich coming in all the 
way from Karse.

Hoi,

Roxanne, I bought Werehunter (paperback) last week at Proxis. I didn't know 
it was hard to find. May be you can have a look there (www.proxis.com). I 
want to read it this weekend and I promised my mother that I would hurry, 
because she wants to read it too. Another ML-addict :-)

I thought I read somewhere that ML said she didn't want to write about the 
founding of Valdemar because it was better as a legend. I just hope she 
changes her mind...I know I would like to read more about it!

I also liked the Skif snippet. I'd like to read the rest of the book, but I 
will have to wait for the paperback, because buying American hardcovers here 
in Holland is for millionaires (sp?) only :-(

Hard-to-start-working-after-your-holiday sheep to all,
Sanne.

The italics (actually, the text leaves the premises technically underlined,
but the printers convert that to italics) are in the original;  but sadly
that's something that does not survive translation into pure text. I
considered sending out an MS word document for these, but on the whole
thought that would be rather unfriendly for those who don't consider MS to
be the be all and end all. There's always RTF format I guess - just about
everybody with a word processor can load that.

I'll think about it - but I can't post it via the list while it converts any
MIME or UUE (or even HTML) into plain old ascii.

Many many people have said that, and each time Misty says she would rather
leave that as legend.

Mind you, I keep pointing out the demand, and saying that there's probably
money in it ;-).

At this time though, there are no plans for it.

Aye, RTF works quite well for most simple styles and to make it easy for
people to open in almost any browser.  The other possible option is to make
two copies, one in RTF and one in just plain text, and have those
requesting the writing request which format they recieve it in.

If I may make a suggestion, surely there is a webpage somewhere you could
use a corner of space to link the writings?  or an FTP server?  If you
could post the snippets on a web page or on FTP that would allow most of us
to self-serve the stories.  Those who cannot get to the web or FTP for
whatever reason could still request them from you, or from one of us who
can, but it would make it that much simpler with most of us downloading for
ourselves.  Just a suggestion =)

I REALLY enjoyed the bit of Skif's story, btw.  Haven't read the other yet,
saving that for a bit later, seeing how long I can torture myself =)

"Probably" money in it?  Well, I would go so far as to say that by this
time, most of us would RUSH out to our bookstores or see that we ordered it
from Amazon to arrive asap on our doorsteps =)  I am among those who would
LOVE to see what happened, how the people accepted these talking horses and
how the first Heralds accepted Choosing...  <sighs wistfully> ah well, what
will be will be and what won't, won't.

Heyla List-Sibs!

I am SO looking forward to the date when "Takes A
Thief" hits the shelves!  I loved the snippet from
that book, since it gave me an insight to how Skif
really thinks.  I rather like the fact that it also
shows that his speech has changed over the years, too.
 Someone mentioned that in the later books, Skif says
he has no family, although there is definite family
ties in the new book.  Who knows what's going to
happen later on in the story, though... Only Misty, of
course! lol

Also, I read the snippet from "Shadow of the Lion",
and I must say that I am also eagerly awaiting the
release of that one as well!  I already like the
style, and I'm a huge fan of books like that!  I think
those three (authors) have made a good team on this
one...

And I too would like to see Alberich from the point
that "Stolen Silver" leaves us off at.  Although I
think it would be a bit like Karal coming to Valdemar,
I think it would be so much worse.  I mean, the two
countries aren't friendly, and Alberich probably
doesn't know anything but maybe a phrase or two of
Valdemarian.  Plus, he's coming in having to recover
from an illness/injury.  I would like to see him going
through classes/training with Elcarth and others.

Thanks again to Paul for whetting our appetites (okay,
I'll be honest, making us drool!) with the snippets
from the upcoming books!

Well, that is her perogative as creator & author....

I for one would like to see a book about the founding
of Valdemar not necessarily about the creation of the
Companions and the adjustments thereof; but about what
exactly the Eastern Empire did that was so horrible. 
But then, I'd like to know more about the Eastern
Empire period.  From what was presented in the Storm
series, it seemed very Neo-Roman Empire-like & I'd
like to know more about it and its assimilation
procedures.  Perhaps any book/series that carries
Valdemar farther into the future might concentrate
more on the Hardon campaign.  I have to assume that
the Empire was thrown into complete chaos after the
events in the Storm series....but I'd like to be sure
& see what happens next over there.

Speculations anyone?

Speculative sheep to all

Did anyone not decide to buy the hardback if they could get hold of it
having read the Take a Thief snippet?  I knew it its really one big
marketing ploy to part us from our overdrafts.
Thanks Paul.

The snippet that I think it was Rosemary Edghill / eluki bes sahar put on
the Baen Bar of the book that comes after Beyond World's End sounded pretty
good too.  So thats 3 of Misty's books to buy.

Got to ask, do Natoli and Karal last as a couple long term or not?

Having recently just bought the Mage winds trilogy from my local book shop 
(I'm relatively new to misty, and still trying to track some of her older 
books down) I got into a conversation with the gentleman behind the counter, 
who informs me that they can barely keep up with the demand for misty's 
books and are trying to get their hands on everything possible.  Things are 
looking up for those of us trying to get hold of things in England.

'Owl' trilogy was great for that and there are bits in 'Brightly Burning'
but....more, please...? <ingratiating grin>.

Cheers,
Becky.

As I pointed out to one UK individual (Hi to all the folks back home!) the
fastest way to get any American author's books is to order them from an
online source. It's cheaper to wait, but there you go. I understand that the
London store "something wicked", where Misty did a booksigning session with
Larry in '99 I think (gosh, is it that long ago? surely not?) also carry the
american versions of her novels.

The source I recommend is firebirdarts.com though - they often get special
deals on Mistybooks (tm) since Misty is friends with the proprietor. That's
why there's the extra Mercedes Lackey information there too.
