Subject: Copy-edit error

Ok, I know this is going to sound crazy, but I just came across a copy-edit error. Perhaps I've read these books too many times! ;). I'm re-reading the whole series while waiting for MOBY. In Voyager, Jamie states that Marsali's father is Simon MacKimmie, Laoghaire's second husband. (see the scene where Claire comes back to Lallybroch after Laoghaire shoots Jamie and he is telling her how he and L came to be married. In Breath, Marsali says her father was Hugh Mackenzie. (see scene at the still where Claire asks about the bruises on her arm before the marauders attack them and kidnap C.). I'm amazed I caught this because I know DG's copy-editor has to be a genius to keep everything straight. I guess I should see if I remember my compuserve login so it could be added to errata for the OC II. Just thought some of you would find it interesting! :)

[> [> MOBY is short for "Written In My Own Heart's Blood". From Diana's blog... "MY OWN HEART’S BLOOD = MOHB = MOH-B = MOBY" -- Pickle, 02:24:21 08/10/12 Fri

[> I gotta say that this is one thing that drives me bats about the books. I guess I'm a little OCD about shifting names and dates. -- LizT, 07:40:16 08/10/12 Fri
