I've arranged for another snippet for you folks. This time, in order to make
this easier, I asked Terri Lee over at firebird to post it.

So... the place to look is http://firebirdarts.com/indexmlackey.shtml for
the whole of chapter one of "Take A Thief". Don't forget you can also now
preorder the whole book from Firebird right up there as well!

anywho, uh yeah.

Has anyone heard
>if she is going to come out with anymore Valdemar books?

She is coming out with a new valdemar book in October( I think) Called Takes 
A Theif. It's about Skif. And Paul has been sending out various snipets of 
it for us to read becuase he is SUCH a nice guy. I personally plan to be the 
first one at the book store the day it comes out.


Also about the founding
>of Valdemar and more, more, more! <pant> <pant> I LOVE these books!

I don't think there will ever be a book about the founding, much as we would 
love it.

Oh and I am on a mission to find the Addy for Newbiefest, I will post it as 
soon as I find it.

Well, it at least told me I won't find an answer to my "Lammas Night"
question.  BTW - great timing on the "NewbieFest" addy - it was the third
message I got after joining the list.  THanks!

Interesting: so your favorite characters don't appear in your favorite 
books?  I have a hard time separating the two things, although I did really 
like the Last Herald Mage series despite Vanyel not being one of my 
favorites.  (Not that I *dis*like him: I just wouldn't list him as one of my 
favorites).

I suspect that there are some characters that I like more than I might 
otherwise because I like the book that surrounds them: the Arrows books were 
my first Mercedes Lackey books, and I loved them, and suspect that I am 
therefore fonder of Talia and Dirk than I might be otherwise.  I enjoy 
rereading "Arrows of the Queen" and "Arrows Fall," but there are parts of 
"Arrow's Flight" where I get very impatient with Talia.  I also suspect that 
there are books that I like more than I might otherwise because of the 
people: there are sections of "By the Sword" where nothing really happens, 
but I don't mind because I find Kerowyn and the Skybolts so much fun to 
watch.

Hello Everyone, I'm a newbie to the list, but I am glad to be here and very
interested in discussion all things Misty!

My favorite Misty books are the Urban Fantasy books... And my favorite
characters are Beth and Kory from Bedlam's Bard..

I just finished reading Beyond World's End, and was interested in
everyone's thoughts... I've  included spoiler space...

I was sort of disappointed by the brief appearances of Beth and Kory in
this sequel. I really love the interaction between these two characters
and missed seeing them more in this plot. Does anyone have a scoop as to
whether these characters will appear more in the next book? I think its
called "Spirit's White as Lightning"

I apologize if this has already been discussed to death... Or if this is a
'dead horse' topic. (Grin).

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
