5:00 Red hi patty
5:00 Janilee Hello Patty
5:00 Patty Hey y'all.
5:00 Has hi Patty
5:00 Jenn hi patty
5:00 Faer It was neat meeting you in person at ConBUst.
5:00 Red
5:00 Patty Very cool
5:01 PaulaL joins Main
5:01 FH Hello Patty (Good morning!)
5:01 Faer Oh, yeah, I don't want to brag, but I won second place in the cosplay contest!!!!
5:01 Has Hey FH
5:01 Faer Hi FH! WHere do you live?
5:01 FH Hi has
5:01 Patty One of the things I really enjoy about the Forum, is that I sometimes know people when I'm out and about.
5:02 Red if only if only
5:02 Patty Congratulations Faer, there were some cool costumes there.
5:02 FH I'm in Japan
5:02 Red oh i remember you
5:02 Janilee The internet does make the world much smaller
5:02 catlauria I look forward to when you come to Denver in October, Patty and Mike:)
5:02 Faer Very few actually entered, the Best in Show looked storebought and mst've been tedious to wear.
5:02 Red FH did you change your name
5:02 Faer Me?
5:03 FH No, I didn't
5:03 Red srry talkin to FH
5:03 Faer FH, that's so cool, I want to go to Japan...
5:03 Red hmm then who am i thinkin of?
5:03 Faer I didn't stick around for the announcement of the hall contest.
5:04 FH Please do Faer!
5:04 Janilee Patty are you going to try to moderate and answer questions?
5:04 Faer If any of you have seen Miyazaki's My Neighbor Totoro, the Best in Show was a Cat Bus costume.
5:04 PaulaL {I wanted to go to ConBust however dealing with a brakelight that was staying on took precedence...
5:05 Faer LOL. Sorry, Paula...
5:05 Patty For a group this small, I think chaos rules will work :) Maybe try to keep it to one question at a time?
5:05 Janilee O.K.
5:05 Faer kk
5:05 FH Yes, of course, Faer. I've seen all his work, I think. Sorry
5:05 --jasmine-- alrite
5:06 PaulaL I wanted to show her the responses that my college dormfloormates had made regarding me postin the URL for the silver bullet experiments.... --notorious practical joke floor at MIT... indluding someone who almost made the US Olympic Pistol Team...
5:06 Faer No prob.
5:06 Red ill try but with a mind like mine no promises
5:07 Red boo!
5:07 Has I have a funny feeling there will be more people showing up later
I think we meet up an hour later5:07 Patty You should see the reaction the silver bullets get from the professors at MT Tech <grin>
5:07 malika well I don't have a question, but I wanted to say I found the reprints for Steal the Dragon and the Raven books, and I've enjoyed them so far. I haven't read much traditional fantasy lately, but these are good enough to make me forget what genre I'm reading!
5:07 Faer Yeah, I read Dragon Bones (finally finished) and that was WAY COOL!
5:07 Red wat made you want to start the silver bullet thin?
5:08 PaulaL my copies of the Hurog books show much wear on them...
5:08 Faer I read the webpage, it's funny. "How would I make silver bullets?" "No I need to actually fire them. I want to see if it would actually be able to kill a werwolf."
5:08 Faer "My wife is an AUTHOR."
5:08 Patty Anne, my editor, tells me that the new covers have put Steal the Dragon back on the B&N f/sf bestselling list
5:08 Janilee I enjoyed seeing both the reprints with the old and new covers side-by-side in the store. Makes you wonder about what book seelers think will work.
5:08 Janilee sellers
5:08 Faer LOL, I laughed SO HARD when I read that.
5:09 PaulaL dormfloor types were suggesting filling safety round with silver, or using silver-lead alloy (which is what pewter used to be made of, at actuallyly)
5:09 Patty Mike's pretty funny :)
5:09 Faer Yeah.
5:09 Patty But if you tell him you can't do something (someone sent us an email saying silver bullets can't be done)
5:09 malika Steal the Dragon is really neat. The new cover makes it very attractive on the shelf, with the belly dancer costume and the sword......
5:10 Red yeah he got me to read dragon bones
5:10 Patty So, of course he had to make silver bullets <grin>
5:10 PaulaL dormmates immediately realized "someone's going were hunting" and started wondering how to collect weres to experiment with bullet efficacy on....
5:10 Patty PaulaL -- that's pretty funny
5:10 Red lol that i can understand
5:10 Has I love the silver bullet adventures - Mike should write a book on it
5:11 Patty I like the new covers -- though the Royo covers are hard to beat . . . just a little dated
5:11 malika yeah, really funny! I hope they don't find any weres to experiment on though.....
5:11 Faer Are we gonna be learning more about the Walkers in Bone Crossed, or is it going to focus on another supernatura creature? You know, like Moon called focused on weres, blood bound focused on vamps...
5:11 Red hmmmm...???
5:11 PaulaL it's the dormfloor that once built a MORTARED brick wishing well, complete with water and pennies, in the middle of someone;s dorm room during Indepentddent activities month...
5:11 Patty Has, I think Kevin (the prof from MT Tech) is going to write a paper for a journal about it :)
5:12 Has fantastic !!!!
5:12 Patty Faer -- we'll learn more, I think (I'm still on chapter two) but not from the Walkers themselves.
5:12 Faer LOL, that's awesome Paula.
5:12 malika oooh, I've heard stories about the crazy things that happen at MIT dorms... especially if they are physics students!
5:13 --jasmine-- are we going to find out more about ben in this book?
5:13 Patty Mercy's going to do some stuff she didn't know she could . . . not really a step up in power, I don't think -- more of a step sideways
5:13 catlauria Bone crossed sounds like a magic construct, is there more with witches?
5:13 --jasmine-- cool\
5:13 Patty Jasmine -- I don't know. He's made it onstage anyway.
5:13 malika oh? new abilities are cool! any hints?
5:13 Faer I told dad that you're from the floor that's notorious for practical jokes... and his reaction was, "ALL of MIT is notorious for pulling practical jokes."
5:13 Patty Actually the witches show up in Cry Wolf.
5:13 Faer Yeah, just a small hint? Please?
5:13 PaulaL lucky [sort of, she's surviving, after all!] Mercy who has been having to find out by experimentation, lacking instructors...
5:14 Has we were speculating that bone crossed had something to do with zombies, prostitutes and pirates
5:14 Janilee You do tease well!
5:14 Patty Bone Crossed is focused on Ghosts and Vampires.
5:14 Patty Pirates being in short supply in Eastern Washington
5:14 Red i thought vamps were more of the blood bound
5:14 Janilee I'll have to pass that on.
5:14 malika that makes sense. she just found out about her thing with using ghosts to find vampires, so are the new abilities an extension of that theme, then?
5:14 PaulaL some are more flagrant than others.... the wishing well got on the cover of one o the Boston papers
5:15 Patty Red -- yes. In Bone Crossed, Marsilia has figured out who killed Andre, and she's not happy
5:15 Faer What does Bone Crossed mean? Or can you say anything about that?
5:15 Red oh ok keep go i didnt mean to interupt
5:15 PaulaL "stealing wheat and barley and all the other grain... I'm going to be a pirate on the river Sasketchewan... "
5:15 Janilee Is she upset with mercy or those who covered for her?
5:16 missyb joins Main
5:16 Patty Paula -- we used to have a drive in burger joint on the edge of campus. Every year the football team would take the "Baby Burger" figure (about 14 ft high plasic figure) and put it on the top of the dorm (which was more than ten stories high)
5:16 Patty It didn't fit in the elevator either.
5:16 Has well - since Marsillia cant really do anything overt against Mercy unless she wants war with Adam and his pack- and thats not counting Bran!
5:17 Patty Janilee -- she's not happy with any of them. But especially not Mercy
5:17 PaulaL does Mercy move in with Adam?
5:17 Janilee That would make Stefan a big target
5:17 Patty Has -- when you're as old as Marsilia, you figure out how to get around things.
5:17 Patty Paula, she hasn't yet
5:17 Patty Janilee -- Exactly
5:18 Patty Poor Stefan
5:18 FH Oh. I like Stefan...
5:18 PaulaL crossed bones are things that get heavily in some European beliefs... there are churches and such that had piles of crossed bones....
5:18 Faer Patty, considering where Iron Kissed left off, is the next book gonna beokay for teenagers to read?
5:18 Arrivederci joins Main
5:19 Has what about Wulf??? He was just as much a part of it - although I think he planned for this - hes sneaky
5:19 Red i can answer that one as a teen YES to the Max
5:19 Patty Faer -- at this point I'd say as okay as any of the Mercy books -- there will be blood & gore -- and probably sex -- but not an orgy
5:19 Faer Alright. So, Law & Order: SVU style, like last book.
5:20 Red like i said YES to the Max
5:20 Patty Wulfe can take care of himself -- but I haven't gotten to his part yet. I don't know if he's on the side of angels or devils . . .
5:20 malika oh man. my friend that I share these books with is going to be very upset if anything permanent happens to Stefan..... she loves his character the best.
5:20 mazoku joins Main
5:20 angbuf joins Main
5:20 Has I think hes a bit of both
5:20 Patty Malika -- not as unhappy as Mercy would be
5:20 Faer Yeah, everyone will be unhappy if Stefan gets axed.
5:20 Has Yay Mazoku ur here
5:20 Patty Has -- you're absolutely right
5:20 PaulaL there are "problem" books that are YA that have graphic scenes far beyond anything in Patty;s books... one of the speakers at a Readercon shocked all the peole in the room to silence with talking about "the obligator [ ] scen"
5:21 malika yeah, poor Mercy too.....
5:21 FH Hi Mazoku!
5:21 Red lol buy she has adam
5:21 missyb Hi, Patty sorry for joing late, I am trying to catch up...:) Does this mean the next Book will have more vampire stuff in it
5:21 Patty MissyB -- yes more vamps
5:21 mazoku hi everyone...i'm not sue how this works... *scratching head*
5:22 mazoku *sure
5:22 Patty Red -- Yes. But that doesn't mean she throws away her friends.
5:22 Faer Wulfe is what is known to Tabletoppers everwhere as a Plot Device.
5:22 angbuf hi everyone, this is the first chat i've been too
5:22 Patty Wulfe will be unhappy to hear that . . .
5:22 PaulaL "Tabletoppers" ???
5:22 Has hi angbuf
5:22 Red yeah but she would go after her starting a war
5:22 Faer Hi, Angbuf, welcome!
5:22 Arrivederci Patti--what's this about you heading to Denver in October? do you have location set up we can meet you at?
5:22 malika hi mazoku nice to see you at the chat!
5:22 Faer Tabletop Role-players
5:22 mazoku hi
5:23 angbuf hi
5:23 PaulaL Denver in Octorber... not the Worldcon then....
5:23 catlauria Mile Hi Con
5:23 Patty We're going chaos rules for the moment. Though if people keep dropping in, I think we'll have to institute some rules.
5:23 Arrivederci Sweet!
5:23 FH HI augbuf and missyb
5:24 angbuf Patty, are you ever going to make to Canada? Sorry if this has been asked before
5:24 missyb Hello
5:24 Patty Yes. Mile-Hi Con. When the schedule gets to me, maybe we can make some plans.
5:24 Patty Marsilia is not going to start a war -- she's smarter than that.
5:24 PaulaL It's sortof surprising that they're holding MileHiCon this year... Worldcons tend to wipe people out, e.g., regular Philcon got cancelled that year in favor of the 2001 Worldcon in Philly, to preserve the sanity of the people woring on it ..
5:25 Patty Angbuf -- Not in the immediate future -- and Canada is a Big Country <grin>
5:25 Arrivederci I'm a former Butte girl--was shocked to see it as your mailing address. Your Mercy books made me dust off my keyboard.
5:25 Faer Yeah, well, just cause there's no war doesn't mean Mercy'll be any happier.
5:25 Patty Though Montana is pretty close to parts of it.
5:25 Has no just more complicated
5:25 Patty Arrivederci - Howdy compatriot
5:25 Red yeah but she would by killing stefan she would know that
5:25 Janilee Would she go after Sam? It would hurt Mercy and give Marsilia her ware 'fix'.
5:26 angbuf Yes, that's very true. Montana, my hubby is coming there this week, that's funny
5:26 Patty Red -- Stefan's not dead yet -- though I have about 12 chapters to go . . .
5:26 malika Marsilia is sneaky. I bet she can make more chaos through deception and misdirection than an outright war....
5:26 Arrivederci The winters are nicer in Denver. don't know how you stand the winters there.
5:26 Patty She goes after some of the werewolves.
5:26 missyb Hi Patty I dont know if this has been asked yet but do you know the title of the next Mercy Book or can you tell us??
5:26 Patty Malika -- yes
5:26 Red i can wait to read it
5:26 Faer Malika - from what I've read of Marsilia she could
5:26 Patty MissyB -- Crossed Bones
5:26 angbuf cool
5:27 Has I hope Stefan gets through ok-
5:27 Faer Hey patty you just gave something away!
5:27 missyb I like it, Your titles just keep getting better and better
5:27 Red it be about vamps and ghosts
5:27 Arrivederci I hate it when Mercy gets physically injured. Can you take it a little easier on her in the next one?
5:27 PaulaL hmm, yeah, ghosts....
5:27 Red rarr!
5:27 FH I hope too, Has
5:27 Patty Faer -- only a taste. And it might not mean what you think it means (evil laugh)
5:27 angbuf I hope Stefan makes it through too
5:27 Red lol
5:27 Patty MissyB -- That's because I have this awesome editor who helps me with titles.
5:28 malika oh, no, going after the wolves is not good! if she hurts Sam, Bran will take exception to it I'm sure. Maybe Ben or one of the less-central wolves of Adams pack, meeting mysterious accidents?
5:28 Faer Are you gonna follow the naming pattern? Because I was REALLY annoyed when another great author I like switched his naming pattern in the VERY LAST BOOK and scrmessed with what everyone was calling the series
5:28 Patty Arrivederci -- no promises -- but she'll certainly be better off than she was in the last book.
5:28 mazoku mmmm...Patty, maybe it was asked before, but, do you come up with the title before or after writing the book?
5:28 Faer Well, we're not sure if it's the last...
5:28 Janilee Ben would have a serious vampire hate following book 2.
5:29 Patty Malika -- trust Marsilia to be more underhanded than that.
5:29 Arrivederci Patti--thank you for that. I don't Mercy to end up a physically broken, scarred old woman some day.
5:29 missyb speaking of last book, will she have any emotional problems from the last book going into the next??
5:29 PaulaL Faer, that might not have been the author's call.... marketing departments have lot more control than most people are aware
5:29 Patty Faer -- we'll try to keep it up as long as it makes sense to do so.
5:29 Red i knewz it she goin all dark and shady
5:30 Patty Mazoku -- Yes. Titles come before, after, and during
5:30 Janilee That's part of the reason the books are worth reading.
5:30 malika yeah, underhanded is right. I'm going to have to think on that one to figure out how she can go after the wolves without seeming like it's her doing it....
5:30 Patty Janilee -- you might be surprised.
5:30 Red yep yep yep
5:30 Faer Okay. That makes sense. At least your namin pattern has nothing to do with what kind of series it is, if you named something the call of purple cheese it would still be a Mercy book.
5:30 Patty Ben likes Stefan quite a bit
5:30 Red hmm?
5:31 Janilee So it would steer his hatred towards thewizard not the vamp.
5:31 Patty missyb -- yes, some things carry through. I'm working really hard to make BC a stand alone - but I expect people would like it better if they read IK first even so.
5:31 Has will we see any of the fae in bone crossed? and will that stick make a show?
5:32 mazoku the stick!!! I loved that one... :D
5:32 Faer I'm pretty sure the stick will make it in. It's a faery gift, they stick around.
5:32 Patty Okay. I'm starting to lose track. Mazoku, would you moderate?
5:32 malika really? did Ben and Stefan become friends when they were in captivity together?
5:32 missyb I am sure you will do a good job, i thought you handled everything just the right way
5:32 Faer Even if it gave itself, it's sttill a Faery gift.
5:32 Patty Let me answer the questions I have then start from missyb and work down.
5:32 katie joins Main
5:33 Janilee O.K.
5:33 katie hi
5:33 Patty Janilee -- yes. Ben knows who he hates.

5:33 Red hi kat
5:33 Has hey katie
5:34 Faer Hi katie
5:34 katie i almost had a killing spree with my sis
5:34 Patty malika -- I don't know if it is friendship . . . more like comrades in prison/war
5:34 katie lol
5:34 Patty Okay Mazoku, are you all right moderating?
5:34 malika ah, I can see comrades. It just wouldn't have occurred to me before... verrrrrry interesting

5:35 katie :)

5:35 Has Perhaps she forgot the time?

5:40 alley joins Main
5:40 Faer I'm lost....
5:40 Faer Sorry, patty
5:40 Patty Ben is never going to be comfortable to be around, unless he makes some big changes. But Mercy looks at him differently
5:41 mazoku now, red's turn :)
5:41 Patty I was unclear Faer -- but if you want to talk about something off topic, you can pm each other so the chat stays easier to follow.
5:41 katie my sis is hoovering over me......
5:42 Faer okay, no problem
5:42 Patty <grin>
5:42 Patty Red, did you have a question for me?
5:42 Red ok if she look differently then at ben then wouldnt that change how he views her to
5:43 Red making him change in the process
5:43 Patty Yes. Real relationships are always changing. He likes Mercy quite a bit -- and he's more willing to admit it. He still hates women & Mercy is a woman . . .
5:43 katie before spring break my former friend rozie (shes a huge fan of werewolves) consiserd
5:43 Patty He'll learn to deal with it.
5:44 katie me and a few other friends her pack lol

5:46 Red the perfect anti writters block
5:46 Faer MINE TOO! (about the room)
5:46 malika oh, man. I don't have any good questions this time. in lieu of a question, is there any hint about Bone Crossed that you can give us? if it has to do with Adam/Mercy relationship, all the better!
5:46 mazoku now, if malika has a question, it's your turn :)
5:46 Has I think anyone who has a sane and orderly brain is not normal
5:46 Faer *agree with has*
5:46 Has good question malika
5:47 Patty Some of it might take place in a haunted house in Spokane -- I haven't quite decided <grin>
5:47 katie my sister's room is a sea of trash like a herd of zoo animals came crashing through
5:47 mazoku normal, what's that? a disease?
5:47 katie my cousins live in spokane
5:47 mazoku now should be arrivederci's turn :) am I right has?
5:47 Perkinator ,
5:47 Patty Hard to give hints about a book that is still mostly unwritten -- things are subject to change without notice!
5:47 Red Has i think you most know my ex girl friend lol
5:47 malika oooh Haunted houses are good! I hope you do that!!!!!
5:47 Has haunted house I like that!!!!!

5:48 Janilee I'm good!
5:48 mazoku you're right, I had jumped her name,... *blush*
5:48 Has ok arrivederci then
5:48 Janilee I had technical difficulties.
5:48 Patty No worries :)
5:48 Arrivederci Patti you mentioned on your website you are thinking of putting your books on tape. Will you be able to choose the reader? A bad reader can ruin the book--Mercy needs to sound a certain way.
5:49 katie my and my friend susana are going to sneek into a scool cause the doors were ulocked, but didnt cuase we herd screams and my friend cried i was a helping hand
5:49 katie *me
5:49 Arrivederci I hope you get final say on a reader. And YAY on the haunted house. Bring it on!
5:49 Patty Penguin is doing the audio (they're the mothership for my imprint Ace). I don't think I have much say -- Love the woman who reads for Evonivich's (I know I misspelled that!) Stefanie Plum
5:50 Arrivederci Thank you!

5:52 mazoku faer?
5:52 Patty Quit apologizing :)
5:52 missyb Has you are doing fine!!! :)
5:52 Janilee You are both doing fine
5:52 Faer hmm... what kinds of other supernatural creatures are you going to introduce after Bone Crossed?
5:52 katie i wanted to be an extra on a movie based on a book... never did..
5:52 FH I'll ask next turn
5:53 Faer And are any of them going to be international?
5:53 Patty I'm not sure. I have a lot to chose from ! Someone sent me links to Serbian supernaturals/gods <grin> I'll have to decide when I'm writing the next book
5:54 katie [evil] hahaha... i like this smilie reminds me of elena..
5:54 malika Serbian! wow, a mythology that I don't know about? you should definitely include them!
5:54 Patty Faer -- of course. Most of the supernatural critters in my world (other than Mercy) are Imports. I might also take Charles and Anna to Europe sometime . . .
5:54 angbuf that would be awesome
5:54 mazoku catlauria now
5:55 catlauria I'm interested in Kyle. Is he going to be giving serious thought to trying to become a werewolf? It seems he might consider it after what happened in Blood Bound.
5:55 Red british accent
5:55 Patty Malika -- a lot of them are familiar Russian critters, but some are new to me.
5:55 Faer That'll be cool, don't know anything about Serbian mythology, maybe it'll keep me from knowing what kind of creature it'll be before it appears (had that problem with Blood Ties the TV sho
5:55 katie my nick name should have been kitten....
5:56 malika cool, I'm always interested in new creatures! I studied a lot of mythologies for my anthropology major, but I always like to hear about new ones.
5:56 katie my fav creature is the werecat,
5:56 Patty catlauria. Not in Bone Crossed -- and I haven't decided about later. Some things have to rise from the plot. As a writer, I don't want everyone turning into werewolves -- and Warren knows how dangerous that could be for him.
5:56 catlauria thanks Patty
5:56 mazoku jonnyp, if you have any question, it's your turn now
5:56 JonnyP i pass
5:56 --jasmine-- i hope kyle and warren stay togther throughout the series, cute couple =)
5:57 Faer Yeah, werecats are neat. one of my favorite things to do in vamp/wolf RPs is to play a werecat and just stir things up
5:57 Patty Catlauria. It is probable that the question will come up, though.
5:57 malika yup they are adorable!
5:57 mazoku paulal then :)
5:57 Faer Everyone loves KylexWarren
5:57 malika I played a were tiger in dnd
5:57 Faer My dad played a wemic once.
5:57 katie my heads about to explode! (hope you all have rain caots or should i say "blood coats"?
5:57 malika I'm now forbidden from playing cats..... mean people.
5:58 PaulaL Are the wolves going to start getting over their homophobia, and are there any in the closet (incuding ones who're in self-denial) who're going to get outed?
5:58 katie i almost let a wolf free in a zoo once
5:58 Patty Closeted werewolves are unlikely -- given that the wolves can smell sexual arousal. Most homosexual wolves are killed by other wolves.
5:58 Red hate to be rude but this is getting unorginized
5:58 katie it was awsome!!!!!!!!!!
5:59 Has maz is thinking up of another question
5:59 Has its her turn
5:59 katie just like humans are to homosexuals today they still do it not much of the killing though..
5:59 mazoku ok....so, is there any possibility of your books being translated in dear old Italy? :D
5:59 Has I have a followup quetion tho about homosexual wolves
5:59 Patty However, things do change in the werewolves attitudes. There's just a time lag.
6:00 mazoku hmmm, since it's related to what we were just talking about, you can ask now has, since you had passed before :D
6:00 Patty Someone has translated Raven's Shadow into Italian for their Master's Thesis (I think) and she's shopping the translation around.
6:00 Has what about disability and being a werewolf - what if a werewolf was autistic/deaf would they be killed off because they would be deemed weak
6:01 mazoku good!!! so I can get my friends to read your books too!! XD
6:01 katie okay, once i was walking home , idunno what it was but a massive animal i saw was ten feet away from me it looked like a dog but i dunno...???
6:01 Patty I think I've had an email (which I sent to my Agent) from an Italian publisher, but I might be mistaken. <grin>
6:01 Has angbuf ur turn
6:01 mazoku Woot!! *jumps around excitedly*
6:01 Has
6:01 angbuf Do you know when your books are coming out in Audio? Or is the answer somewhere on your website?
6:02 katie WOW
6:02 Patty Has -- it depends upon their Alpha -- and the wolf in question. Remember they tried to kill Warren -- and didnt' succeed.
6:02 angbuf that's the only way my hubby reads
6:02 Patty Also. If it is caused by an accident -- most disabilities would be healed by the Change.
6:02 GreyDrakkon joins Main
6:03 GreyDrakkon ::is mentally damaged and forgot when the chat was scheduled::
6:03 Patty Angbuf -- As I remember it, it should be this summer. But I'll double check and post the dates to my website.
6:03 mazoku hi grey!!! so glad you're here!!!
6:03 Has I think it would be interesting to see that though if an alpha allowed them to live- I think physical disability would be healed but mentally or emotionally ones would be harder
6:03 Has Yay grey
6:03 angbuf Thanks so much!!1
6:03 mazoku now, katie, it's your turn
6:04 missyb Hey Grey!!
6:04 FH Hello Grey!
6:04 malika hi Grey! mazoku and Has have been moderating for you. with mixed results!
6:04 Faer Hi Grey, I was wondering when you'd get here!
6:04 Patty I think a person with much of a mental disability would have a hard time surviving the Change -- and if he did, he'd have a hard time controling the wolf. Ben has an emotional disability.
6:04 Zealith joins Main
6:04 GreyDrakkon (thank you both for modding!)
6:04 katie there are so many ideas, diffrent ideas of werewolf, ppl keep changing them over and over they did come from natives right??
6:05 Patty Mazuko & Has have been doing fine. However I think they are looking for relief <grin>
6:05 mazoku you're welcome grey :)
6:05 Patty I drafted them.
6:05 Faer I saw on CSI that 'werewolf' came from the ancient Enlgish word for serial killer.
6:05 Red patty can i answer that ?
6:05 Zealith Hey every one.
6:05 Has
6:05 Has hey zealith
6:05 mazoku hi zealith :)
6:06 Patty Katie. It depends upon what you mean by "natives". Originally the weres were all Europeans. They came over with the rest of the immigrants.
6:06 Red Katie it started in viking region
6:06 --jasmine-- hey zea
6:06 Patty Of course now most of them are just average Joe Americans.
6:06 PaulaL were = male, actually, as in wereman and wifman in one of the languages English evolved out out. man = human... there were got dropped from wereman, though, while wifman evolved into : "woman"
6:06 katie oh no.. i have the name zilth in my head (scratches like a dog who has flees) get it out!!
6:06 Muffin joins Main
6:07 Patty That's in my world. However, as you have noted, authors take liberties with what parts of folklore (which is always changing anyway) they use.
6:07 PaulaL so, technically, the term should really be "manwolf"
6:07 Red there enmies put on bear and wolf skins and that was how the werewolf legend started
6:07 katie i have herd alot of those in a book somewhere..
6:08 PaulaL lots of different cultures have shapechanger mythologies, and different origins legends for them--some use the skin of the animal changed into, some have curses, some have both, some have other stuff...
6:08 Red i know my history or myths
6:08 Patty Bran gets his title from the Arthurian myth about one of Arthur's knights who was a werewolf.
6:08 --jasmine-- who's next?
6:08 Zealith It's amazing how mytholigies all have sililarities.
6:08 katie werecats,werewolves... i know they are not the same but one turns into an animal if you are a werecat you turn into a feline, if a werewolf you transform into a wolf
6:08 Red its a berserker symbol called a wolf hook
6:09 PaulaL and then there's porhyria or whatever it's called , that makes people grow hair all over, and allergic to garlic
6:09 Has who asked the last question
6:09 Patty Red
6:09 Patty Officially <grin>
6:09 mazoku perkinator's turn now
6:09 katie did anyone get that? lol
6:09 mazoku sorry about the delay...
6:09 Has thanks
6:09 Red yeah didnt mean to
6:09 Patty Perkinator seems to be gone.
6:09 mazoku no worry...
6:10 mazoku gah!! I missed that!! jasmine now then :)
6:10 Janilee Must pumpkin. I'll read the rest of this when it gets posted. Have a good whatever time zone you are in.

6:11 --jasmine-- so does adam's ex-wife know about mercy? and will she be in the next book?
6:11 Red horror movies patty horror
6:11 FH Bye Janilee
6:11 katie its weird i dont watch too much tv.. lol hee
6:12 Patty Yes. She knows about Mercy -- that's one of the reasons she divorced him (though Mercy doesn't know that). I don't know if she'll show up in Bone Crossed -- but certainly sometime soom.
6:12 Patty soon.
6:12 Patty Darn that send button
6:12 Red katie we will talk later i know wat ur talkin about
6:12 --jasmine-- lol
6:12 --jasmine-- thats cool, can't wait
6:12 Zealith Oooo, plot twist possibility!
6:12 PaulaL !!!!!!!!!!!! [regarding Mercy being one of the reasons for a divorce happening to Adam]
6:12 GreyDrakkon (unfortunately, not only am I a dink who forgot that chat started an hour ago, I have to pick up my guy from work so I'll miss the rest of it! Sorry for making everyone else work for me! >;D )
6:12 catlauria veri interesting
6:13 GreyDrakkon (later everyone!)
6:13 mazoku man, I wouldn't be in mercy's shoes when that [s]nutso[/s] lovely woman shows up... ;)

6:13 GreyDrakkon Ah, Has can ask it for me, it's actuallyElle's question
6:13 Has its from Elle
6:13 Has I'm curious about Ben will we learn more about what happened in London? Will we get a chance to meet some of the European wolves?
6:13 GreyDrakkon thanks! night everyone
6:13 --jasmine-- aww poor jesse, in the middle of this twisted romace lol
6:14 katie im writing a story fiction for class its good so far lol
6:14 Faer like a fanfic?
6:14 mazoku poor jesse...it's a miracle she came out sane after being raised by that woman... *rolleyes*
6:14 katie i have soo many ideas i cant seem to shut my brain off for even 5 mins
6:15 Patty Has -- Yes we'll meet the European wolves -- but probably more in the Anna & Charles books, I think. And I don't know about Ben's story . . . though that might be a heck of a good book, too.
6:15 PaulaL [Jesse reminded me of someone who said about his mother, "I never want to see her again!" He was being forced to go to her wedding ((secon marriage); he e had been living with his father, who ws awarded child custoody back when that was rarae)
6:15 katie (drowns in a sea of papers) lol
6:15 katie jk
6:15 Zealith Yeah, I want to see how the europeian werewolfs operate
6:15 Patty Sorry for the vague answers . . . but some things I don't know yet.
6:16 Muffin Hello everybody! Hello Patty, just dropping in on my lunch hour.
6:16 mazoku zealith, your turn now :)
6:16 --jasmine-- i was shocked when jesse got beat up in IK
6:16 mazoku hi muffin
6:16 Patty Hey Muffin :)
6:16 missyb Hey Muffin
6:16 katie I want some muffins!!!!(drools)
6:16 Has is the one of the other reasons why his ex divorced Adam - was due to him being an alpha? I bet thats hard to live with
6:16 --jasmine-- hi muffin
6:16 katie jk lol hi
6:16 Red lol
6:16 Zealith Will there be any knew races in cry wolf/ bone crossed?
6:16 Zealith Hi Muffin
6:16 Has hi muffin
6:17 Patty Has -- yes. But she knew that when they got married.
6:17 Muffin *Dies of pure bliss* They are talking muffins, that okay Katie?
6:17 katie yes lol (still drooling..)
6:17 Zealith Be careful, they might want to eat you muffin
6:17 Has muffin ur after zealith
6:18 katie
hee hee..... imhyper , but its just how i am.! lol6:18 Muffin Thanks Has.
6:18 Patty Zealith -- In Cry Wolf you get to meet another witch. And the Moor -- though he's a werewolf <grin> I don't think I'll have anyone new in Bone Crossed, it is already quite complicated.
6:18 Faer *ish hyper too*
6:18 Zealith darn, there goes my theories for a necromancer :P
6:18 Muffin I am stuck, skip me.
6:18 Scarbuck joins Main
6:18 Patty Necromancers might be fun . . . for the future.
6:19 Faer She could have one in another book :D
6:19 Red thats put of Mercy
6:19 mazoku so now we start again the list :)
6:19 Red she can see ghost
6:19 Zealith But I was thinking bones, necromancers deal with alot of bones...
6:19 mazoku missyb, do you have any other questions?
6:19 katie i saw a coyote down in spokane while my mom drove us to our hotel, it just stared at me eyes glowing, not in hunger though
6:19 mazoku NO!!
6:19 mazoku wait
6:19 missyb Yeah, i dont know if anyone has already asked this
6:19 katie HAHA
6:19 mazoku I missed a new entry, sorry---
6:20 mazoku scarbuck now
6:20 Has zealith - theres no zombie pirate prostitutes in bone crossed
6:20 missyb okay
6:20 Zealith There are no stupid questions.
6:20 Zealith I wasn't the one who suggested that!
6:20 Red just funny ones
6:20 Scarbuck How long have warren and kyle been together
6:20 Red and i make half of them
6:20 Patty (Thoughtfully -- Zombie Pirate Prostitutes . . . )
6:21 --jasmine-- LOL
6:21 katie i wanted to run after ibtut i didnt
6:21 Zealith No patty! Don't give into the pressure!
6:21 Zealith lol
6:21 katie *but
6:21 mazoku LOL
6:21 --jasmine-- thats would be an amazing plot twist lol, flip the page and thats what u see
6:21 --jasmine-- :P
6:21 PaulaL {crossed bones, dragon bones, trolls from earth rock grow / old bones, new bones, bones that come and go.... [instafilk demon hit]
6:21 Red she is joining the dark side
6:21 Has lol
6:21 Red evil laugh
6:21 katie OM NOM NOMNOM OM NOMNOM!!!
6:21 Red
6:21 Patty Warren and Kyle were together for a while before Moon Called --- I can't remember off the top of my head -- but I think it was around a year or so. Do any of you remember if I was definate in Moon Called?
6:22 PaulaL latest perversion in urban fantasy/paranormal is zombies, "I want to eat your brains!!!" Sigh.
6:22 mazoku sorry, my memory is non-existent...
6:22 Has sorry that is what i kind of thought-- apparently there is a graveyard in london called cross bones where prostitutes were buried lol
6:22 Zealith Any one wanna run over to the forum?
6:22 mazoku maybe Elle wrote in the forum though
6:22 Faer I was actuall thinking something Amerindian, myself, seeing as Mercy is a Native American creature
6:22 mazoku same thought zealith :D
6:22 Patty I can tell you for sure that it wasn't longer than a year. Mercy comments about Warren's bad taste for pretty boys -- who can't carry on a conversation.
6:22 Red i think it was a little more but a year is a safer bet
6:22 malika oh, no the zombie pirate thing is even worse than my friend's teasing of "zoroastrian babyfur fetish"
6:23 PaulaL they were involved sort of in Moon Called but the secrecy with werewolves and their homophobia were doing bad things as regards emotinoal issue drivers
6:23 Zealith I don't think it's there, but to lazy to check.
6:23 katie VAMPIRATES AND WEREPIRATES
6:23 PaulaL oh, sorry, you were asking if anyone remembered the length of time. Sorry.
6:23 Muffin Here, here to laziness.
6:23 katie ARGG
6:23 --jasmine-- lol
6:23 mazoku ok, now we're really going back to the top of the list :) go ahead missyb
6:24 Faer Katie, DONT EVER let my friends hear that one. PLEASE.
6:24 Patty PaulaL -- Right. I do remember that it felt like their relationship was still settling in for them.
6:24 katie LOL sorry hee
6:24 missyb okay, Is Sam still going to be living with mercy and having his thing with her??
6:25 missyb I think they to moved to best friends/ but still want eachother????
6:25 katie god if my friend alex and rozzie her that they would go belistic
6:25 Zealith I don't think so, his wolf gave up on her.
6:25 Patty He's still Mercy's roommate at the beginning of Bone Crossed (which is right on the tail end of IK). I don't know yet how that will work out. One of those complications . . . he won't willingly move out or away from her. She's his pack and he needs her to stay balanced.
6:25 katie haha they would try and pull me into thier ideas NO MORE IDEAS!! LOL
6:25 Has missyb i totally misread that for a minute
6:26 --jasmine-- and for that i'm glad :)
6:26 missyb lol
6:26 katie VAMPIRATES ACTUALLY IS A NOVEL
6:26 Patty There are still a lot of things to work out. OMGoodness Vampirates?
6:27 --jasmine-- lol
6:27 katie and werepirates
6:27 Zealith *coughcough* I'll have to keep an eye out for that one
6:27 mazoku red, any other questions for you?
6:27 PaulaL too much Pirates of the Caribbean!

6:28 katie *FED
6:28 Red dont laugh at me hurst me feelings...jk
6:28 PaulaL or was it a vampire salmon? one of them...
6:28 --jasmine-- thats just...strange
6:28 Patty Someone's been suggesting Weremoose. Those would scare me more than the wolves <grin>
6:28 --jasmine-- lol
6:28 malika Princess Tutu has a wereduck! as the main character! you should all watch it. I swear it is awesome.
6:28 Has look at the smart*****es website- they linked a blog entry about weird were animals like wereducks, weretortoises
6:28 mazoku ok red, if you remember it just say it... ;) malika? any questions?
6:28 katie WEREGULLS O GOD NOOOOOOO
6:29 PaulaL there's an editor who is honorbound to edit Magic Moose if certain writer ever writes a magic moose story...
6:29 Red wow how would you get that the blood bass bite me stupid fish
6:29 Has and ducks and swans are vicous I know by experience
6:29 Patty Yep. Paula. But I'm not sure I have the heart.

6:30 mazoku c'mon people, let's keep it tidy, the chat is all messing up
6:30 Red lol
6:30 Has lol
6:30 PaulaL (Magic Moose being a nonexistent magical moose stories anthology, which if ****** * ****** ever writes a magic moose story, again, there is an editor who is honorbound to be the edtior of!)
6:30 mazoku now, malika, any questions?
6:30 --jasmine-- lol
6:30 malika um. will we see any other were-creatures in any of the books? like a werecat. or moose. or any besides wolf and walker?
6:30 Faer Katie, you are causing a major hysteric breakdown.
6:30 --jasmine-- i feel for you mazoku
6:30 katie i just found my title!
6:30 katie 2 months ago..
6:31 katie sorry...lol
6:31 mazoku katie, please...let's keep it tidy, yes? pretty please?
6:31 Patty Malika -- I don't know. I'm considering it. It won't be Bone Crossed, though. I expect that I'll have to play that one by ear. There are other were critters in my world.\
6:32 malika oooh. at least there is hope! I put my vote in for a were-tiger or panther. That would be fun!
6:32 katie im hoping that my home computer will at laest work, cause rght now im in a library.
6:32 Faer I hope to see a werecat
6:32 --jasmine-- i wish i cud live in that world, seems alot more interesting then this one =P

6:33 Arrivederci By the time i finished reading the Stephanie Meyer books I was so sick of Bella. I don't know if i will ever be sick of Mercy. Patti- do we get to know Mercy's Mom and sister at all in the next one?
6:33 Faer No, you actually don't have to be a mammal.
6:33 missyb were horse???? Anyone??? LOL
6:34 PaulaL Ugh, I juist got reminded of that novel in which person turns into giant cockroach. I can;t remember the name of the author (RuEuropena, furst half of 20th century, beloved of English techers) or the title...
6:34 Arrivederci Also, the mercy baseball shirts--are they mens or womens? I don't know what size to order.

6:35 Faer Hey, speaking of Werespiders, has anyone played Dungeon siege? ewww, mucosa....
6:35 Patty Haven't scheduled another yet. Probably early May.
6:35 Jenn Did you intend a series with When Demons Walk and what would the next story have been
6:35 Patty google pink glock
6:35 katie ok thanks lol
6:35 PaulaL also one of the characters in the Laurell K Hamilton Merry Gentry series has as one of his alternate forms, a horse.... phoukas and such
6:35 Has jenn ur next
6:36 missyb thanks paula
6:36 Jenn Did you intend a series with When Demons Walk and what would the next story have been
6:36 katie I go to school of the arts, so it all good...
6:36 malika oh. my. god. that has to be about the wrongest thing I've ever seen. there are pink bows and arrows too. I much prefer my nice camo ones.....
6:36 Faer pookas are shapechangers and often take the shape of a black horse, taking any who climb on for rides that sometimes lasted a hundred years or left you in a ditch
6:36 PaulaL and Anne Bishop in her series tht is neither Black Jewels nor Sebastian/Belladonna
6:36 Patty Jenn, yes. I don't know what the next story would have been/will be. Especially when I first started writing, I tend not to plot things out that far in advance. I enjoy the surprise of the story too much.
6:37 Jenn Well it was a fantastic book
6:37 Muffin Sham is one of my favorite characters from any book.
6:37 katie ive never met an author only online.... it sad
6:37 PaulaL {aha, "seat of the pants" writing}
6:37 mazoku has, ur turn
6:37 Has as a pack they can sense if a member is in danger
6:37 Red random event work better and keep the reader hooked
6:37 Patty Thank you :) I really enjoyed Sham a lot. She was a hoot.
6:37 PaulaL if you are in an areas where the are science fiction convention, or romance conventions, there tend to be authors at them
6:38 Has but is there anything stronger or similar between mates
6:38 Faer Sham was cool.
6:38 katie
6:38 PaulaL {I've wondered what happens next in that world, too....}
6:39 Has like a bond- sorry about my crappy sentence structure but I got a headche
6:39 katie charectors should at least be interesting and real enough for the reader
6:39 PaulaL {especially after I finally managed to collect all the books published that had it as a setting}
6:39 Patty Has. That depends upon the mates -- sometimes all it is is just like a pack bond (remember most of them mate with human women so this would be different). But that differs from pair to pair.
6:39 Faer I also liked... the one from Steal the Dragon. I can't remember her name, neither can mom. What she DID was more memorable than who she WAS.
6:39 mazoku faer, it's just your turn now :)
6:39 Has faer ur next
6:39 katie i only red the mercy series.. they are very good!
6:39 Has thanks patty
6:40 Patty Faer -- Rialla
6:40 Faer Hmm.
6:40 Red yes katie
6:40 katie Cant wiat to horse ride soon
6:41 Faer Um, of the characters in the Raven books, which was the hardest to write? And where did you get your ideas for the Orders?
6:41 katie oops sorry, i ment read
6:41 Red oh never mind talking about books
6:41 Arrivederci Arrivederci quit
6:41 Patty I might have phrased it better, I think. A human woman would have no bond until she was a mate. Is that clearer?
6:41 katie i hope i become an author
6:41 katie its hard but ill try
6:41 Patty Seraph was the hardest to write because she and I have very different personalities.
6:42 Has yeah - thanks
6:42 katie i hear ya
6:42 mazoku FH, your turn now
6:42 FH Thank you
6:42 Patty And the orders . . . I'm not really sure. Though I remember I was eating at Chico's in Kennewick with my horse riding friend when it came to me.
6:43 mazoku you're welcome
6:43 katie manners, very important lol XD
6:43 Faer LOL, Patty, been there, done that.
6:44 FH One of my friend, who had read the first draft of the Japanese translation, was wondering about the garden fae (sprite?), Kieran McBride.
6:44 FH He can't touch cold iron, so how did he work under the millionaire, Harlan Kincaid? You know, Kincaid might have asked (or ordered) McBride to bring some iron tools...
6:44 katie well, i'll see you all next time!(stupid library closings!!) lol loves you all bye Patty!!!
6:45 Zealith I'm sure he managed to get other tools to use.
6:45 --jasmine-- bye katiee
6:45 FH Bye katie!
6:45 Faer cya Katie
6:45 mazoku bye
6:45 Red bye katie
6:45 Has bye katie
6:45 Muffin Bye.
6:45 Red or Kitten lol
6:45 Patty He used his own bronze/copper tools. Kincaid knew he'd hired a garden artist and expected some idiocincratic behaviors :)
6:46 Patty Bye Katie :)
6:46 katie katie quit
6:46 Patty So when Kieran refused to touch iron/steel, he just thought it was a superstition.
6:47 Zealith Nice.
6:47 Red wow people really leaven fast and no byes :(
6:47 Has catlauria you are next
6:47 Has
6:47 FH Oh, I see. I'm impressed. I'll tell my friend!
6:47 catlauria Will Anna have an easier time fitting in with the Marrok's pack than Mercy did, because she's a werewolf? It seems to me that there might be some issues with her (ie Leah doesn't seem to have a great reputation for friendliness).
6:48 catlauria ty has
6:48 Patty Anna will have an easier time. Do you think [i]Charles[/i] would let Leah be a problem for his mate?
6:48 Zealith *ebil grin*
6:49 malika oh, I'd love to see Charles and Leah face off....
6:49 catlauria The status there confuses me, since she's Bran's mate but still deferrent to Charles.
6:49 Zealith I don't care what your connections are, I'd be careful around him too/
6:49 Patty Leah is afraid of Charles when Bran isn't around. Leah is *dominant* to Charles -- but she's not brave enough to push it.
6:49 Faer joins Main
6:50 catlauria thanks for clarifying
6:50 Muffin Just went through World Building at forum, Elle doesn't have anything specific about length of time that Warren and Kyle were together, so it probably isn't in print.
6:50 Has paulaL ur next- I think I am finally getting the hang of this
6:50 Patty When Bran is around -- she likes to pit them against each other.
6:50 Faer Hey, sorry guys, my computer kaplooied
6:50 --jasmine-- hmm i wonder if anyones ever challenged bran for his spot
6:50 Patty You and Mazoku are doing great Has, thank you.
6:50 Has faer did we miss u
6:50 Zealith It probably has happened.
6:51 Patty jazmine -- yes, but not in a long . . . long time.
6:51 PaulaL Any idea when you might get back to revising Masquerade and do some stuff that's non-urban-fantasy/non-paranormal agin ? (I keep wondering how long the paranomrlamal/UF craze can continue.... it's shoving evertying else off the shelves and out of contractos...
6:51 malika are we going to learn the story of that challenge?
6:51 --jasmine-- lol all leaned a leson eh?
6:51 --jasmine-- learned*
6:52 mazoku thx patty, I'm feeling like I'm not doing a great job though...
6:52 Muffin I have nothing but praise for you mazoku!
6:52 Red your doing better than i could
6:52 Patty Paula -- as soon as I get caught up to my schedule (I'm almost a book behind, but Mercy writes a lot faster for me than Cry Wolf did). Then I'll start working on Masques in the afternoons (shouldn't take too long). So I'm planning on working on the two of them together,.
6:52 Has yep- I couldnt have done this at all without u
6:52 --jasmine-- bye everyone, nice talking to you guys n patty =)
6:53 Patty bye jasmine

6:54 Patty Bye Muffin
6:54 Red bye muffins
6:54 mazoku bye muffin
6:54 mazoku well, I'm going to pass, can't think of anything right now
6:54 FH Bye
6:55 Muffin Patty, I just wanted to say that you are an amazing author, my favorite, and your books have the highest honor of sitting next to my bed, rather than in my bookcase!
6:55 Patty Thank you :)
6:55 Has k it looks like its scarbuck turn
6:55 Faer cya muffin
6:55 Muffin Muffin quit
6:55 Has great nick by the way
6:55 Scarbuck pass
6:55 mazoku wasn't it zealith's
6:56 mazoku well, now it's zealith's turn
6:56 Has crap yep
6:56 Red i only have two left the rest are friends barode
6:56 Has sorry
6:56 Zealith 'Sall right, I don't have another question
6:56 Has missyb
6:56 Has ur next
6:56 missyb Yes why does Mercy's tatoos change on each book cover?
6:56 mazoku muffin first!!
6:57 Patty This will probably be the last question I take -- unless there's someone who hasn't gotten a chance for two.
6:57 Red he left
6:57 Has muffin gone
6:57 mazoku oh, she went away, right...
6:57 Patty MissyB -- That happened when they decided to leave some of the arm tattooes Dan drew on the sketches.
6:58 mazoku just thought of a question for later!!
6:58 Patty I didn't want Mercy to have that many tattooes, but I liked them on the cover, too.
6:58 Has will adam and mercy have a disagreement about the damages to his house
from Iron kiss and will her rabbit join junk yard art 6:58 Zealith They look neat, and it's fun when they change
6:58 Patty So we just decided to leave it as something to clue the reader into the book :)
6:58 mazoku can I ask? since I passed? pretty please? :)
6:59 Has I like em too!!!
6:59 Faer Yeah, and they give you an idea of what the book is about
6:59 Patty Has -- yes they will have an arguement about the damages :)
6:59 Has knew it lol
6:59 Patty Zee is going to fix her Rabbit for her.
6:59 Patty Go ahead mazoku
6:59 PaulaL "Artistic license" {there are at least two cases I know of where a writer added a scene to a book to match something on the cover --... one of the Chanur books, and a Glen Cook novel in the Black Company series)
7:00 mazoku ok, what would happen if a female werewolf challenged Leah and won?
7:00 Patty Mercy's belly tattoo came from the cover :)
7:00 Has paulaL were u here when mike posted the link to the cover of bone crossed?
7:01 Has http://www.dandossantos.com/gallery/illustrations/full_bone_crossed.jpg lovelovelove the skulls for the tats- i also think this is the best cover to date
7:01 Patty Mmm -- she'd actually have to face off with Bran, not Leah. Remember the werewolves are still stuck in the dark ages -- a male protects his mate. Much as we'd all like to see Leah dethroned. . .
7:01 Faer Yeah, Leahis a b****... literally, LO
7:01 Patty I really like the symbolism of the rain washing over her after Iron Kissed.
7:01 Zealith Wow, cover's a lot different then the other ones were
7:02 mazoku hmmmm...ok, I hadn't thought about the male stepping in the pic...thanks!! :)
7:02 Patty Here's a hint. In Cry Wolf you find out why Bran took her for his mate.
7:02 Has I think it also shows a softer side of her as well
7:02 Red im out see you all later at some point
7:02 PaulaL {Windows, pfeh... I was here when the URL was listed and I have it up in another browser window,
7:02 Zealith I thought his wolf was lonely? Was that not the case after all
7:02 catlauria excellent, I'm looking forward to that book.
7:02 mazoku cool!! Another random thought: then Leah had not right to chase Mercy in MC, she would have had to go after Adam?
7:03 PaulaL {finger slipped and got dumped into another webpage than this one}
7:03 Patty Mazoku -- yes -- if she'd known about Adam.
7:03 malika yay more Bran !!!!!!!!!
7:03 Has Adam doesnt like Leah? he must know her since he spent alot of time at Aspon Creek
7:03 Has I love Bran
7:04 PaulaL I get the feeling that Leah doesn't have lots of appreciators around
7:04 Patty Although the jury might be somewhat hung -- since Mercy hadn't accepted him yet. One of the reasons that Mercy's not accepting him promptly is throwing off Adam's control of his pack. Too many mixed messages and conflicts in pack custom.
7:04 mazoku Oh, ok, even though I have the feeling she would have done it anyway... ;)
7:04 Faer Bran's awesome, he's the kind of guy I like to read about - mysterious and serious but with a lighter side. A dtermined man who'll kill if he needs to, but not a crazy who'll kill any time he wants.
7:05 PaulaL hmmm, now that Mercy's mated into a pack and has mate hierarchy, I wonder how that's going to affect her status with female wolves of pakces outher than the one she's part of...
7:05 Faer And what will happen to Mercy's own magic...
7:05 mazoku have to go now, very late here, goodbye all, thanks Patty :)
7:05 Has I thought Mercy accepted adam?
7:05 malika bye mazoku thanks for helping moderate!
7:06 Patty Actually, a lot of the women in Aspen Creek like Leah a lot. Mazoku -- as long as she could *claim* she didnt' know better . . . And the rules aren't quite as hard and fast for female attackers.
7:06 FH Bye Mazoku
7:06 Has bye mazoku - thanks for the help
7:06 Zealith Bye Mazoku
7:06 Patty Has -- at the end of IK she accepted him. Hugs to you all.
7:06 Faer Cya mazoku, you did great!
7:06 mazoku she's so evil!! -_____-
7:06 malika is it very common for females to have dominance fights? i thought that was mostly a male pasttime for the wolves...
7:06 mazoku see ya all next time
7:06 PaulaL The interaction with Leah was in Moon Called when Adam was courting Mercy, way back in the first book
7:07 Patty Malika -- I don't know. There are a lot more males than females.
7:07 Patty Hugs, to you all. I have to go fix dinner.
7:07 Has ohh i remembered my origignal question
7:07 Faer What effects are the pack connection going to have on Mercy's abilities?
7:07 Patty Thank you for a fun time!
7:07 Zealith Bye Patty
7:07 Faer cya...
7:07 Has bye patty
7:07 missyb Thanks Patty
7:07 FH Bye Patty, thank you so much
7:07 Zealith Thanks for coming and chatting with us
7:07 PaulaL thanks for the chat, Patty... wish I could have gotten to ConBust....
