These first three books, and the three books of the Camber Trilogy, were all written on a typewriter, with carbon copies, in the dark ages before personal computers and word processing. Her kindness has saved me many hours of retyping the manuscript, so that preparing this edition took far less time out of my work on the next new Deryni novel. Another fan has already scanned Deryni Checkmate for me, and I have no doubt that a digital copy of High Deryni will be ready by the time I need to crank it through my machine." |
Yep. It's up to you whether you believe Melissa or not. I probably wouldn't tell an author that I downloaded their book even if it was in a good cause.
(Not that it matters in the slightest to me.)
