Oh, and is the new sword to kill a particular party by any chance the special one in Black Wind?

You'd think that Killing people would make them like you, but it doesn't! it just makes people dead.

Wasn't one of the ladies named "Herta"? That would seem to be an anagram for something.

On the same lines, Gia is very close to Gaia who is named after the greek ( she is Italian, isn't that close enough) earth goddess who was considered a Mother Goddess or Great Goddess that effected Earth's environment that promotes life overall.

"It means 'Ask the next question.' Ask the next question, and the one that follows that, and the one that follows that. It's the symbol of everything humanity has ever created." Theodore Sturgeon.

Does that mean the other half of the equation is something derived from Anya's surname? Infuriatingly, all my books are packed so I'm unable to have a look to see what it is. Anyone know?
(And keep up the good work Libby, I think you may be star pupil at the moment!)
"I handed in the new RJ novel with the
working title, BY THE SWORD. David says the sales force loved the title at the
pre Turkey-Day sales meeting, so that's what it will be. That means Paul Ramplin
gets a credit line in the acknowledgments."

Check the Dog's name...Irving. That's another 1/2 of the equation.
