I can't believe I didn't hear about this via the so-called news information services - I guess if it's not a disaster or a scandal, it's not news. It certainly changes my world.

Re-reading all of MZB's books is at the top of my "list of things to do when I retire". ANd although I love MZB's Darkover and Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar, I get the biggest kick out of Mercedes Lackey's urban fiction - Knight of Ghosts and Shadows, etc. It's great to read a book that makes you think elves are hanging out in places like Los Angeles (as the cover says: "elves in LA? Well, it would explain a lot...").
