The Okal Rel Universe in evolution and in the world.

 


Saturday morning reading at the Lott home. David captured this time! He's working ten days straight sometimes lately, and long hours, so we were especially pleased to have him May 9, 2009. Seen here in his favorite pose, surrounded by young women: Krysia on his right and Catherine on his left. Catherine is working her way through Part 4: Throne Price for the first time. I must go check out her comments to me in private chat on facebook. Amel appreciates her protective instincts toward him ... although he's embarrassed his really bad days are getting to be so public. :-) A slice of Angela is visible to the right. She's re-reading Part 1: The Courtesan Prince. Honey the cat failed to pose very attractively behind them, on the couch. Also in attendance were Holly, who read the next installment in Artemis Fowl where a fairy swat squad unwisely goes up against Fowl castle in a flubbed attempt to rescue her namesake, LEP officer Holly Short; and Tegan who was in her pajamas. The girls made breakfast this time as a Mother's Day treat for me. Interesting crep-cakes Ang. :-) Sort of crepes, sort of pancakes. Holly made the whipped cream as usual. Everyone helped. I read the penultimate chapter of Part 6: Avim's Oath. Many thanks to all for the squeals of delight over Oleander's dreadful proposal and Luthan's bid for getting educated by a hobbling Amel, for Angie's spontaneous squeal: "This is the best book yet!" and to Krysia for wanting to finish it off right now! Looking forward to delivering the final chapter next Saturday after my visit to Terrace. Thanks to Angie taking over the kitchen this morning, I also got good licks in on Part 7: Healer's Sword.

I've been charged with character abuse, and Catherine has taken Amel into protective custody on facebook. I guess if Amel can have an "envoy period" between parts 3 and 4 of the saga, he can do a little time out with a benevolent reader in there as well. Maybe we'll get an envoy-period story out of the idea. :-)

Amel is grateful for Catherine's sympathy. Lynda was most pleased to sign her copy of Courtesan Prince. Ranar wouldn't know what to do about another frequent visitor to the Lott household, named Holly, who is "into" him. So I haven't told him. I don't think he'd mind particularly but he might want to study the phenomenon. Tegan is doing a portrait of a Silver Demish princess for an art project, with organic elements like wood in the background and wearing a string of pearls. Angela is advising characters in Righteous Anger about how to conduct their lives better whenever I get a chance to read her the next installment. Mel has done some new chibbie cartoons which are posted by the computer upstairs in the Lott house. Jennifer Lott is home for a visit and has promised to read the gang a new chapter of her second novel in the Drescopata series. She brought Angela the game, Catan, for her birthday and we all played it last night. Tegan and Jennifer teamed up to wipe out myself, David and Angela.
