Katharine Kerr has been one of my favourite authors since I discovered her Deverry books back during my first year at Uni... so when I found a yahoo group for her fans I joined... to be pleasantly surprised to find she regularly joins in the conversations whether peeps are discussing her books or various random topics, which is more often than not.

Then I discovered she had an LJ page so added that to my friends list. At the end of September she posted that she was putting up 3 books for a charity auction... I went to investigate. Of the 3 books I had one but not the others... now I have to explain... I started collecting this series when I lived in the UK & being anal about these things I wanted to continue collecting the UK editions... which was a bit of a pain so I hadn't gotten around to picking up the last 2 books released. As the books won would be personalised by Kit (as she refers to herself) I figured it was worth it even though I already had one.

1) I WON!!!
That was pretty awesome because I almost forgot about it... turns out I bid 1 minute before the bidding closed!
2) Kit offered me the book that came before the one I had a double of but I already had that too... so in my reply I was uber cheeky and said "but I wouldn't mind waiting until you had a trade paper copy of The Silver Mage... <bats eyelids> no? well it was worth a try <chuckle>"... her response?!? "I could do that, sure.  I should get a box of them in November some time." OMG HOW AWESOME IS THAT???!!!

So Kit is now my official NUMBER 1 favourite author of all time... she totally ROCKS!
