It's called A TALENT FOR MAGIC, at least that's the working title.

Signing books by mail is oddly difficult for me -- I have trouble getting to the post office to mail them for various reasons, mostly health problems.(less)

Some modern scholars dispute that, but I didn't care. :-) It makes a great story, which is what I care about. The reincarnation theme continues throughout the 15 books of the series; the past lives move forward in time until they almost catch up with the main timeline. But then the series circles around and goes back to the very beginning of the karmic knot, when the Deverrians arrive in Deverry long before the series opening.(less)

Here's a link to the page. I've put up a couple of posts about the book. Eventually there will be more. The period, 1913-1919, is the time in California where the new film industry was still spread up and down the coast, not concentrated in one spot. Read more of this blog post »

“I wonder if I'll ever forgive Evandar? I wonder even more if I should bother," Aderyn said.

"Of course you should," Nevyn said wearily, "but for your own sake, not his. Hatred binds a man to what he hates, and I think me you need to be free of him.”
Katharine Kerr, The Spirit Stone
tags: hate

“By the hairy ass of lord hell." Many characters in the Deverry Cycle Novels”
Katharine Kerr, The Red Wyvern

“By the Lord of Hell’s hairy balls!”
