		<description><![CDATA[Dear tpasche--

   So far as I know, it&#039;s just a meaningless symbol the German cover designer thought up.  I don&#039;t know why the German publishers almost always change the titles of my books (usually to something meaningless, if not worse), but it&#039;s common for foreign publishers to make their own book designs, which they feel will be attractive to their own markets.  Sometimes they&#039;re right, and sometimes they&#039;re _not_...but they&#039;re not obliged to ask me about it.

   Best,

   --Diana]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello.
Thanks for explaining the original cover :)
Because I work in a German Bookstore (and couldn&#039;t find any Information on the meaning of the Symbol on the german Version of your book)  - could you please explain the German-Version-cover-Symbol as well?
Have a nice day!

J&#039;attends avec impatience que le dernier livre soit traduit en francais. Philippe SAFAVI a traduit les précedent. Pareille pour The Scottish prisoner!!!!!

Pourquoi tant de décalage entre la sortie du livre en Anglais et en Francais. J&#039;espere que pour la nouvelle série on l&#039;aura rapidement en France

En tout cas, j&#039;adore....................]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have begun to read the series for the 2nd time, as I am sure many of your followers do.  I can&#039;t wait for MOBY, and hopefully many more after.  And also, I am looking forward to the Outlander series on STARZ.  Thank you so much for allowing my imagination to travel with your books.  

Can&#039;t wait for #8,

		<description><![CDATA[Octopus is better.  I too love them - tremendously smart creatures.  Perhaps your husband doesn&#039;t know enough about them.  Elsewise how could he not love them?  If all else fails get new husband.  Or maybe a new time.

Impatiently waiting for new book.

Gratefully
