“Out of Ambit” getting ready for a retool / upgrade
December 8, 2007
As the year winds down, it seems like a good time to upgrade OOA to a newer version of WordPress so that “blogging as usual” can resume after the New Year.
With this in mind, please note that, starting now, OOA will probably be acting strangely — or may go missing entirely — until the upgrade completes some time over the upcoming week. Also, the “look and feel” may change without warning as our webmaster Lee tests out new themes.
Thanks.

Hi Mike! Glad to hear from you — I emailed you a couple of months ago but the mail bounced. Have you changed addresses??
Briefly: TBM is still in process. Obviously the sad events of the summer interfered, along with the ongoing health difficulties, and I’ve been having to play catch-up with everything. Additionally, I found that I had some plotting problems and had to pull chapters 7, 8 and 9 apart and start reassembling them. I’m working on that now. A note about this to the subscribership, with new (pre-Christmas) posting dates, will be going up later this week.
Anyway, drop me a note via mail so I have your new address.

The way the site looks right this minute is pretty good!

Hello,
I didn’t find another way to contact you, so I hope this will do.
Just a few days ago I submitted a new article about you in the German Wikipedia at
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diane_Duane - don’t ask me why, but there was none before.
I’m not sure whether you can read (a bit or more) German, if not be assured that it is a friendly article :).
I have to apologize for the picture, but there was no other on Wikipedia, and German Wiki is quite picky about copyrights due to very restrictive copyright laws in Germany.
I wish you a Happy New Year,
Miles/Martin

I like this Cleaker 2.1 theme. Are you going to stick with it, or keep exploring?

I haven’t heard ANYTHING about Big Meow for months now. I’m conc erned. I hope you and Peter are doing better after the sad events of the summer… Would appreciate some word on TBM?

Heck, we’d appreciate some word on anything, at this point. Everything ok over there?

BEST! :O)

Hi! My sincere sympathies on your loss (I know what it is to lose a parent, having been through it twice now with my own — and my in-laws are both in their eighties … so I don’t need the Eye to know what’s in store in the not-too-distant future ……). I’ve been looking forward to another feline wizard book for years now — I’m so enamored as to have named one of my (non-wizardly, alas — or else very well concealed) People after Rhiow. (Yes, I know, from their perspective I’m their ehhif as opposed to their being my cats — but I’m the one who’s paying the bills!) After many fruitless searches of Amazon.com, etc., I recently found The Big Meow web site — and started reading it after my Lenten fast from my favorite fiction, and got to the end of Chapter Six with a dreadful shock of fictionus interruptus. I gather from reading posted comments that I’m not the only one. Here’s hoping for good health and writing success in the months to come. We’re praying for you.

Diane, hope you are healing well from your medical problems. Just wanted to let you know I replied by e-mail to your request for my new e-mail address; hopefully it got through. If not, I gave my e-mail address when I registered on the site, so if you check my profile in the WordPress blog, you should see it there, too.

I’ll be interested to see what you go with. I can’t believe it didn’t occur to me to look for you on the web before I needed a reminder of what you call the language of cats. Of course you’d be on the web.
Silly Saje.
I couldn’t resist the opportunity to let you know how much I love your work, particularly the Young Wizard series and the accompanying “cat” books. As an animal lover myself, I’m not ashamed to admit that I had tears in my eyes when I first “read” (I listened to your books on audio rather than catching up in print this time around) how doG stepped in to save everyone from the Lone Power. I hope to turn my boys onto your books when they visit this summer.
Best wishes to you and yours
