And I got these _after_ I read Knight of Ghosts and Shadows, Summoned to Tourney, and Bedlam Boyz from the library! what I was asking about was the Tempist Fugit and stuff.

I'm such a hypocrate. Well, I for one was glad to see the T&K stories (I assume you mean Oathblood) because I didn't start reading Misty until long after they were published. Although, when I got it I did say something about "why're there stories from the previous Oath books and was informed that to get those two in print today is next to impossible and that they were originally short stories). Same goes for book (I can't remember the name) that had the stories that she had written for other anthologies. I would never have bought the Grail anthology, but after reading Misty's story from it I just might try to find it. > I'm also still waiting for Black Swan, and am doing so without much > patience. > Me: Has Mercedes Lackey's Black Swan come in yet? > Bookstore guy: Are you stalking me? Ha! I've got books I've been waiting years (4 for one 10 for another) to come out (not to mention having to wait longer than those in the U.S., it's really frustrating to see people talking about a book that I know I aren't get for another year ;-)) The bookstore people are getting tired of seeing me :-) -- Paige Proud Mom of Victoria - 4/24/98 Proud to be Outlandish Royal Defender of The Brat There is no "I" in "TEAM"...but there is an "M" and an "E" ------------------------------ End of MERCEDES-LACKEY Digest 2063 **********************************
