social-ob party to go to, and I didn't gt a chance to tell anyone
ahead of time.

[17:44] <Soulknife> Hello, Katherine, I am unfamiliar with your
writings.. but from what people has told me, it sounds fun.
[17:44] <Mistyck> especially now that ITKS is done
[17:44] <Shiral> How is the desk excavation going, KK?
[17:44] <Martine_L> Katherine, Arwen's offering Gus a bite of chicken
and inquiring politely if he's managed to hoard any shrimp?
[17:44] <KK> I actually got the first chapter of DR redone this week.

[17:44] <DeryniBot> Revan baptizes Temprus in the stream to purge them
of the 'Deryni Taint'
[17:44] <KK> Gus wouldn't know a shrimp if it whalloped him with its
cockroach antennae.

[17:44] <Mistyck> wb Temp
[17:44] <RainTurtle> wb
[17:44] <kirienne> woo hoo ! fun reading coming our way soom
[17:44] <TerryOBrien> Desk excavation? Sounds familiar. <g>
[17:44] <Martine_L> ROTFL!!!!
[17:45] <Shiral> LOl
[17:45] <Devin> KK: is it just DR that's going to be redone, or the
entire trilogy?
[17:45] <Shiral> Poor Arwen, No Irish shrimpies tonight
[17:45] <KK> Entire trilogy.
[17:45] <kirienne> soon even, I'm so excited I can't type <g>
[17:45] <Shiral> That's common around here Kirienne <G>
[17:45] <Martine_L> Humph. Arwen just turned around and walked away. I
think I need to teach her a few more social manners!
[17:45] <Mistyck> Katherine:  I have a question for you regarding
Ansel
[17:45] <KK> And I expect to get the copy-edited ITKS back in the next
couple of weeks.
[17:45] <Kiri`> brb  have to take boxes out.
[17:46] <Shiral> Good work Katherine
[17:46] <KK> Gotta be a quick turnaround time, in order to meet the
October publication date.
[17:46] <Kiri`> oh  and how is Imre pronounced
[17:46] <Dennis> Poor copyeditor.
[17:46] <KK> Im-ray.
[17:46] <kirienne> Kiri, are you moving?
[17:46] * Soulknife has left #Deryni_Destinations
[17:46] <Mistyck> Was the Fiona marrying Ansel something that is born
just from Codex or is there a story behind Fiona and Ansel
[17:47] <KK> They do marry, I believe.
[17:47] <Debbie-VB> I was just going to ask if you had a tentative
publication date yet
[17:47] <KK> Just October.
[17:47] <Shiral> We'll just have to hit the bookstores every day  in
October, then <G>
[17:48] <Dennis> Or hope it's early october.
[17:48] <KK> I'll know more, closer to time, and will pass on the
word.
[17:48] <Tieg> that's great news, I am going through withdrawals
[17:48] <bynw> maybe in the end of Sept too
[17:48] <Mistyck> ok, thanks KK
[17:48] <RainbowDragon> KK, how soon will an ISBN number be assigned
to ITKS?
[17:48] <Debbie-VB> like I need an excuse to visit the bookstore?
[17:48] <TerryOBrien> Don't worry, we
[17:48] <Shiral> True, Debbie <G>
[17:48] <TerryOBrien> 'll all be waiting.
[17:48] <KK> I'll let you know about ISBN, too, as soon as I know.
[17:48] <Martine_L> Who needs an excuse when the bookstore is also the
nearest Starbucks?
[17:48] <RainbowDragon> Okay
[17:48] <RainbowDragon> Thank you
[17:48] <Mistyck> Martine:  Has to be a B&N!
[17:48] <Martine_L> Bingo!
[17:48] <Shiral> Ta da!
[17:48] <Debbie-VB> or a chapters
[17:48] <KK> I'm sure Amazon will know early, too--and if you order
through them, we get a kickback.
[17:49] <Mistyck> woohoo!
[17:49] <Shiral> So hit the Website amazon link, folks <G>
[17:49] <KK> And go via the Deryni website.
[17:49] <Devin> Unfortunately, Amazon often posts incorrect
information as factual.
[17:49] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Quite so, Devin.
[17:49] <Devin> But kickbacks are a good thing.
[17:49] <Debbie-VB> and I usually get an Amazon gift certificate for
my b-day
[17:49] <KK> Well, this is definitely on track, so I expect the info
will be accurate.
[17:49] <Shiral> They enjoy confusion, I guess
[17:50] <Kelos_al-Hazar> They showed the Codex as still available
nearly a year after the last copy sold!
[17:50] * Shiral hops up and down in anticipation of gettting her paws
on ITKS
[17:50] <Martine_L> Down, girl!
[17:50] <Devin> Shiral: I suspect they're just too big and have too
much data to manage, especially given how famous they were for cycling
through personnel here.
[17:50] * Martine_L tosses Shiral a shrimp in bribery
[17:50] * Debbie-VB still wishes she could have heard about the codex
in time
[17:50] * Shiral sits, but whimpers and wags her tail
[17:50] * Martine_L tosses Shiral another shrimp
[17:50] <Shiral> I suppose so
[17:51] <Shiral> Hey Arwen, stop snagging my shrimp treats!
[17:51] <Mistyck> lol
[17:51] <Martine_L> LOL!
[17:51] <Shiral> Katheirne, have you been doing anything for your own
pleasure of late?
[17:51] * kirienne  promises to get her copy from amazon, to provide
kickback
[17:51] <Tieg> KK, now that the book is done, will you have a chance
to take a break and do something fun?
[17:51] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Well, I have an associateship with Amazon
(two, actually) but I've gotten very little actual commission from
them.
[17:51] <Martine_L> Katherine, did you ever manage to climb back into
the saddle?
[17:51] <Shiral> oops, Katherine that is, bad fingers
[17:51] <KK> Deb, just remember that the Codex, as interesting as it
is in some respects, is no longer cholly canonica..
[17:51] <bynw> Katherine, do you know which hotel you will be at for
GenCon??
[17:51] <KK> whilly canonical.
[17:52] <KK> No, Bynw.
[17:52] <Martine_L> LOL! Bad rented fingers everywhere!
[17:52] <Shiral> The fingers are really attacking tonight
[17:52] <Dennis> What history book ever is?
[17:52] * Devin laughs. Sounds like relaxation has already started!
[17:52] <Mistyck> thanks, Bynw I knew I had another question to ask KK
[17:52] <Kelos_al-Hazar> KK: Comparing the Codex map to the one in
KKB, what changes were made?
[17:53] <KK> Not back in the saddle yet, but I have an offer of a
horse to ride, and someone to ride with--a neighbor or Annie.  This
week, I hope to pick up some half-chaps, so that I can give it a try.
[17:53] * bynw grins at Mistyck
[17:53] <Martine_L> I wish you a smaller horse than I had this
morning! ;-)
[17:53] <kirienne> and a less stobborn one than Martine had
[17:53] <Martine_L> Half draft horse, 17.2 hands, and ALL attitude!
[17:53] <kirienne> stubborn too
[17:53] <Shiral> Martine, you shouldn't have borrowed Kelson's War
Destrier, that's all!
[17:53] <Shiral> <G>
[17:54] <KK> This is a draft horse mare, so I have no idea what to
expect, except that she should be pretty cold-blooded--i.e., calm.
[17:54] <Mistyck> KK:  So far as we know, Bynw, Harvey, Susan, myself
and Ryan and a couple of other people are going to be at GenCon
[17:54] <Martine_L> Shhhh..... Shiral, don't tell him!
[17:54] <Shiral> Too late now! <G>
[17:54] <Debbie-VB> speaking of horsies. what breeds would be
considered as palfreys?
[17:54] <Shiral> Good question, VB
[17:54] <Martine_L> All draft horse would not be any smaller, I guess!
[17:54] <Shiral> Nope, but hopefully more tractable
[17:54] <Kiri`> back.
[17:54] <wrengl> hi katherine, missed you coming in
[17:54] <RainTurtle> palfrey = saddle horse
[17:55] <Kiri`> kirienne - yes  today.  have to be gone by tomorrow
morning.
[17:55] <Shiral> Hmmmm, Maybe something like the modern anglo-arab?
[17:55] <KK> I'm not sure on breed.  They'd be smallish, not too
heavy, perhaps sort of like a handy quarter horse, except that they
didn't have quarter horses.
[17:55] <Martine_L> They'd be smaller than war chargers, and probably
be bred for smooth gaits and gentle tempers.
[17:55] <kirienne> oh my Kiri.  were you able to find a nice place?
[17:55] <KK> Yep.  Ladies often rode palfreys.
[17:56] <KK> Yike, Kiri.  Moving is one of my least favorite things to
do.
[17:56] <Kiri`> a place.  not what i wanted.  not anything to write
home about.. but a roof.  a roof that allows cats.
[17:56] <Martine_L> Except it's not half as exciting when your gentle
palfrey isn't trying to bite the instructor or lunge at your husband
and his mount! <g>
[17:56] <KK> Where is it?
[17:56] * kirienne will pray that kiri will find a better place soon
[17:56] <Kiri`> i dont like it.. it's been made harder in that i have
no help and can't lift or move much myself.
[17:56] <Kiri`> same town i'm in now..
[17:56] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Renovation is worse, KK...especially if
you're living in the house you're renovating and the only bathroom you
have is the one you're renovating. Heh.
[17:56] <Martine_L> A roof that allows cats is a good start in the
right direction :-)
[17:56] <Shiral> yes
[17:57] <Martine_L> I'd nominate Katherine for the queen of
renovation!
[17:57] <Shiral> I second the nomination
[17:57] <Kiri`> Katherine - if you have a cottage on your grounds I'll
come live there and tend the garden.  i'm also not a bad editor =)
[17:57] <Debbie-VB> I know that feeling Kiri.  I went through much the
same things last time I moved
[17:57] <Kelos_al-Hazar> We lay the floor in the new kitchen
tomorrow...should go quickly, if we can keep it running straight.
[17:58] <Mistyck> KK:  how's Scott coming along on the book?
[17:58] <KK> What book?
[17:58] <Mistyck> his book
[17:58] <TerryOBrien> DIdn't see a cottage on the grounds when I was
there, Kiri, although there is the folly tower on the next hill. <g>
[17:58] <KK> No cottage.
[17:58] <Mistyck> I thought he was working on the 3rd book
[17:58] <KK> You mean, Nazi Vampires III?
[17:59] <Mistyck> yep
[17:59] <Shiral> Hey, for the privilege of living on Holybrook, we'll
BUILD a cottage <G>
[17:59] <Martine_L> LOL!
[17:59] <Kiri`> it could work =) *grinning*  then again i guess i'd
have to compete with duck for the gardening spot..
[17:59] <Kiri`> nazi vampires?!
[17:59] <Shiral> Duck is a very amiable roommate
[17:59] <KK> He's working on the Prisoner of Zenda script right now.
[17:59] <Martine_L> Shiral - build a cottage to live in while we
restore the burned-out wing ;-)
[17:59] <Mistyck> aah.  OK
[17:59] <Shiral> Indeed, Martine <G>
[18:00] * Kelos_al-Hazar notes that he's about to start helping to
build a house for Habitat for Humanity in his hometown...
[18:00] <bynw> no he must write book 3 of the Knights of the Blood
.... :-)
[18:00] <bynw> Is Scott coming to GenCon too KK?
[18:00] <kirienne> cool Kelos
[18:00] <KK> No.
[18:00] <Shiral> Oh wow, Bynw, for a minute there, I thought You'd
written Knights of the BLOND
[18:00] <bynw> silly Shiral
[18:00] <Mistyck> lol, Shiral, get your mind away from Swedish men
[18:00] <kirienne> LOL Mist
[18:00] <Martine_L> Well, they ARE Nazi vampires, Shiral. I'd imagine
a lot of them are blond.
[18:01] <Shiral> True <G>
[18:01] <bynw> LOL
[18:01] <Shiral> But they go for blood, not hair <G>
[18:01] <Debbie-VB> Do you realise that Adolph Hitler would not have
qualified as Aryan?
[18:01] <Mistyck> he wasn't an Aryan
[18:01] * Devin tries to imagine Knights of the Blonde and fails.
Badly.
[18:01] <Mistyck> not pure anyway
[18:01] <Shiral> Me too, Devin <G>
[18:02] <Martine_L> Devin, imgaine a castle full of hairspray! and
shampoo!
[18:02] <TerryOBrien> Gotta run, people: dinner won't wait, and
neither will my stomach.
[18:02] <Shiral> Night, Terry
[18:02] <Devin> . o O ( "Like, ohmygosh, I'm so sure! Put that silly
cross away and let me chomp you! As if!" )
[18:02] <Martine_L> Night, Terry!
[18:02] <Mistyck> nite Terry
[18:02] <kirienne> bye terry
[18:02] <Debbie-VB> Nighters Terry
[18:02] <wrengl> night terry
[18:02] <Dennis> It's a dippy term anyway.  Aryan refers to a part of
India, I believe from whence a lot of European peoples are thought to
come.
[18:02] <KK> Nighters, Terry.
[18:02] <Dennis> Bye Terry!
[18:02] <Kiri`> so what does a nazi vampire do.. ?  *trying to get
this thru her head*
[18:02] <Martine_L> Hold on! Can you HOLD it on the garlic, please?
Can't you see I'm TRYING to fix my hair?
[18:02] <Mistyck> yeah! for Dennis...one of the few people know that
fact!
[18:02] <RainTurtle> be well, Terry
[18:02] <KK> Master race that will live forever?
[18:02] <Devin> Martine_L: imagine vampire hunters using all those
cans of hairspray as ready-made flamethrowers. *Not* good for the
vampires.
[18:03] <Shiral> Undead Master Race?
[18:03] <Martine_L> ROTFL, Devin! I love it!
[18:03] * TerryOBrien Quit
[18:03] <Kiri`> but what to they do.. wander around drinking jewish
people ?
[18:03] <Shiral> Yes, but their hair is never mussed, Devin
[18:03] <KK> Nope, impure blood.
[18:03] <Kiri`> and other people nazi's generaly are idiots about?
[18:03] <bynw> Kiri`, you need to read the books :-)
[18:03] <Mistyck> yes you do, Kiri
[18:03] <Debbie-VB> .oO somebody's been watching too much buffy
[18:04] * Kiri` isn't sure she wants to..
[18:04] <Martine_L> Sorry. Only seen one episode of Buffy
[18:04] * Devin never watches Buffy.
[18:04] <Shiral> I'm more interested in the Blonde Lord of Corwyn who
has no vampirish tendencies
[18:04] <Shiral> <G>
[18:04] <Shiral> At least, we hope not
[18:04] <Devin> Shiral: not even a little nibbling?
[18:04] <Mistyck> Dennis:  It used to always get me how Hitler got
people to believe the stuff about the Aryans...cuz I'm Aryan and I'm
from India
[18:04] <Kiri`> yes that able to be in the sunshine thing never does
go out of style =)
[18:04] <Shiral> Ask Richenda, Devin
[18:04] <Martine_L> I'm sure you wouldn't mind a SMALL vampirish
tendency, Shiral <g>
[18:04] <Debbie-VB> that's one more then I've watched Martine
[18:05] * Temprus2 has joined #Deryni_Destinations
[18:05] <DeryniBot> Bishop Denis Arilan welcomes Temprus2 to
DeryniChat.
[18:05] <Kiri`> KKL - i'll send you the electronic versions on cd when
i'm done with this last one.  then you don't have to worry about
dl'ing it.
[18:05] <Mistyck> wb Temp
[18:05] <RainTurtle> wb
[18:05] <RainbowDragon> Katherine: at what point does ITKS end? Just
before Cardosa?
[18:05] <KK> It ends with Alaric's birth.
[18:05] <Shiral> =o)
[18:05] <RainbowDragon> Oh, okay
[18:05] <Mistyck> ooh...cool!
[18:05] <kirienne> Shiral, I agree with you about blond lord of Corwyn
<g>
[18:05] <Kiri`> oh i t ends with "I'm here!"
[18:06] <Dennis> Mistyck: It's really sad, but if I had a dime for
every time something like that worked, I wouldn't need the Cash Fairy.
[18:06] <Debbie-VB> the trilogy may end just before Cardosa
[18:06] <Kiri`> brain blanking.. cardosa?  what happens?
[18:06] <Dennis> Is the whole trilogy outlined?
[18:06] <KK> Me too, Kiri.
[18:06] <Debbie-VB> That's where alaric is at the beginning of DR
[18:06] <KK> It ends just before the hunt at the beginning of DR.
[18:06] <Kiri`> aha  *grabs clue tightly and hangs on*
[18:07] <RainbowDragon> Kiri: Brion... merasha
[18:07] <Shiral> Morgan at Cardosa.. G<>
[18:07] <Kiri`> im-ray.  oops   been thinking of him as EE-mer all
these years.
[18:07] * Temprus Quit (User has been mind-ripped)
[18:07] * Temprus has left IRC
[18:07] <Shiral> So Duncan would also be on the way in book II I guess
[18:07] <Dennis> Are there any Cardielish bishops in ItKS or are all
of them like Oliver de Nore and Edmund Loris?
[18:07] <Devin> Shiral: sounds like something from that one episode of
ST:TNG where the alien race speaks in allusions to metaphors and
legends.
[18:07] <Shiral> ?? Devin?
[18:08] * kirienne points arrow threateningly at peer
[18:08] <Devin> Shiral: the "Morgan at Cardosa" thing.
[18:08] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Shiral: Episode "Damok", IIRC.
[18:08] <Shiral> Oh right
[18:08] * Kiri` is now known as `Peer`
[18:08] <Tieg> KK, any plans for another Adept book?
[18:08] <Mistyck> so, KK did you do any celebrating after you got ITKS
sent off?
[18:08] * Debbie-VB remembers that episode
[18:08] <`Peer`> eeep!  help she's pointing sharp sticks at me!
[18:09] <KK> Yes, but no contract yet.  Ace calls the shots,
schedule-wise.
[18:09] * Martine_L approaches peer with her nastiest riding crop
[18:09] <Shiral> Or just heave a sigh of relief <G>
[18:09] * `Peer` flees
[18:09] <Tieg> thanks
[18:09] <`Peer`> it's this portal honest.. tis faulty!
[18:09] <Martine_L> I've always wanted to see peer on the run!
[18:09] <Shiral> Peer Pressure
[18:09] * `Peer` is now known as Kiri`
[18:10] * bynw ponders other questions he could ask ... but is unable
to think of any just now ...
[18:10] <Shiral> Hmmmmmm, Good question about the bishops, Dennis
[18:10] <Mistyck> How are sales from Deryni Tales doing?
[18:10] <Kiri`> Katherine - what will you be doing this week?
[18:10] <Shiral> Any good eggs or are they all rotters?
[18:11] * bynw is getting ready to have dinner with that Custodes Monk
who was at his wedding
[18:11] <KK> Don't know re sales, other than that they're good.
[18:11] <kirienne> LOL Kiri
[18:11] <Shiral> =o)
[18:11] <KK> Doing more DR this week.
[18:11] <Dennis> The scenes with the Curia are some of my favorite
from the original trilogy (and CH).
[18:11] <KK> And some Annales.
[18:11] <Shiral> Wunderbar
[18:11] <KK> And chapter headings for ITKS.
[18:11] <Mistyck> cool!
[18:11] * Temprus2 is now known as Temprus
[18:11] <Dennis> What's the Annales?
[18:11] * Temprus is on IRC
[18:11] <KK> The bishops are pretty bad, and will get worse.
[18:11] <kirienne> wb temp
[18:11] <Kiri`> KK - the bits with the lovely quotes?   even the non
biblical ones *hope hope*
[18:12] <Shiral> Oh dear! But that makes for good reading <G>
[18:12] <Kiri`> the Bad Bishops of ..   
[18:12] <Dennis> Makes you wonder how Cardiel, Arilan, and Bradene
slipped through.
[18:12] <Martine_L> Sounds like the bishops are good for use on
Halloween, Shiral.
[18:12] <bynw> gods good grace is how that happened
[18:12] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Gotta have a few good ones in the bunch.
[18:12] <Shiral> And Duncan, too
[18:12] <Mistyck> and Duncan...don't forget him
[18:12] <RainbowDragon> Who will be doing the cover art for ITKS?
[18:12] <KK> I'd better sign off. Exhausted from watching all this war
coverage.  We saw the footage of the American POW's.
[18:13] <RainTurtle> be well, Katherine
[18:13] <RainTurtle> Thanks for chatting with us
[18:13] <Kelos_al-Hazar> Sleep well, KK.
[18:13] <Jessie> Night, Katherine.

[18:13] <Shiral> Night, Katherine, sleep well and write well
[18:13] <Martine_L> They didn't show that here that I know of. Only a
photo without id marks on the prisoners.
[18:13] <RainbowDragon> G'night, Katherine.

[18:13] <Kiri`> night KK!
