Katherine's birthday gift from Scott was an evening of Gilbert & Sullivan at the National Concert Hall

Holybrooke construction has also been going great guns. We now have roof rafters!!! they are now putting the roof back on the west wing, which had a fire a little over 30 years ago.

Berni is back and house hunting in Dayton! She's got a new job and a promotion! Congrats Chief Berni!!!!!

Atar is finally retired (returned safely from Iraq) and he's a colonel!!! :)

Katherine is glad everyone is enjoying In The Service of the King

Katherine has finally started Childe Morgan.

Katherine said that Jiri and Se Trelawney will be back.. "you can count on it."

Se is pronounced Shea, or Shay.

Lewys vanished on Bee's birthday

It is doubtful Katherine will ever be more specific about what happened to Lewys ap Norfal

Katherine is having great fun sorting out the Camberian Council in its earlier incarnation.

There are reasons Lewys was kicked off the Camberian Council. She says he was a kind of "loose cannon"

Lewys is a progenitor of Jehana

Stevana's grandmother was Grania d'Oriel (yes same Oriel's)

Ships in use during Kelson's time - jibs have just come into use. Galleys are still common. See KKB for details.

Katherine's favorite parts of In the Service of the King are:

the bit in the scriptorium where Zoe and Alyce discuss what their various animals are going to do....
when the king has Alyce help him interrogate the suspects in Krispin's murder.
The enrollment of Alyce and Marie at Arc-en-Ciel.
and she had fun with the conversation between Alyce and Zoe on Alyce's wedding morning, too.

We will get to meet Kenneth's two younger daughters, his sisters, and his aunts in the next book.

Arc-en-Ciel does exist in Kelson's time, we've just not seen it.

Katherine thinks Zoe may end up at Cynfyn with Jiri.
