I got a list of all her books from QO when I asked for info about QO. > When will it be out? I don't really know. Sometime in '98 I think. Vanyel was exactly 37 when he died. Misty left a bunch of different clues in her books for anyone who wanted to know. This is the easiest way to figure it out: Van was 16 when 'Lendel died. 20 years later he got hit with that leach blade. Now he's 36. His birthday is sometime between Summer & early Fall. Since he went after Leareth in the Winter that makes him 37. Ta-Daa!

BTW, Firebird has a new domain: http://firebirdarts.com/ and the FAQ where there is usually info about Misty's new books is at: http://firebirdarts.com/1faqml.htm So anywaym here it is. Enjoy! Peace, Ele Councilor of Mist _________________________________________________________ FAQ about Mercedes Lackey - Last update 9/16/97 When is her next book going to be released? Just released and in stock Firebird in paperback Storm Breaking in paperback Owlflight in Hardback Owlflight: New Valdemar novel featuring the Hawkbrothers. This takes place after the events in Storm Breaking, and features a new character, a Hawkbrother scout who has a owl bondbird. The border, as ever, is a chaotic place to try to live, and makes life very interesting. Yes, there will be another book, no title yet.. Finished and at the publishers Four and Twenty Blackbirds New Bardic Voices book Oathblood: The third Tarma & Kethry book collects all the short stories that were not in the Oathbound or Oathbreakers. Plus a new short story (Remember the Shin'a'in stud that wasn't from the Last Herald Mage? To create a new breed of heavy horse, they crossed him with draft mares. Needless to say, spring plowing at the Ashkeveron estate will never be the same.) And a new Novella. (Set at the School, a twin students are kidnapped and held for ransom. Kethry's kids want to help with the rescue, no matter what older and wiser heads have to say.) In the works: Queen of Air & Darkness: This is a fantasy about Queen Elizabeth I. She is both the Queen of England, and the Queen of the Witches. Black Swan A re telling of the Swan Lake Ballet. Tempest Fugit: New Serrated Edge novel Elvenbane/Elvenblood #3 with Andre Norton. Down the road Phoenix & Ashes Cinderella Serpent's Shadow Snow White meets the goddess Kali in England. Gates of Sleep Sleeping Beauty Are the Concordances ready yet? The Last Herald Mage Concordance is going to be printed next, and should be out sometime . The remaining concordances will be out later. When is the Shadow Stalker Songbook going to be ready? Sometime in winter, depending on how other things go. We spent quite a bit of time working the bugs out of the software used to generate the music, and the layout. The next books should go faster In the works from Firebird More portfolios by Larry Dixon. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Oct 1997 17:25:34 -0400 (EDT) From: Moiami1-+AT+-aol.com To: mercedes-lackey-+AT+-herald.co.uk Subject: Recent conversation Message-ID: <971003172442_-295255523-+AT+-emout09.mail.aol.com> I haven't been able to read the list in about...oh, three weeks because i've just read the arrows, winds, and storm trilogies.
