Sorry. I've got the books sitting near me and I have them listed
(with ISBN's) on my blog. Guess I should have listed them in the

Yes. But doing a crossover with most of her books is a bit
tricky.

[1] Her vampires and werewolves - in this series and in her
vampire-centric detective series - aren't the same (her
werewolves aren't human, just human like and her vampires aren't
demons.) so you have to think of a way to explain the
differences.

[2] Her other series mostly take place in fantasy worlds so
you're kind of stuck with using a portal to facilitate a
crossover

[3] One series takes place in the semi-far future And centers
around some Space Marines (And was the series of hers I was
originally going to cross over with but I haven't done more than
an opening paragraph or two so far... couldn't get a handle on
the character/plot)

[4] IMHO The Keeper series is the only truly contemporary one
but it suffers from  #1 AND the third book has references to
Buffy the series. I've figured out a way around that :-) BUT if
you haven't read the series this fic might spoil some parts of
it (though nothing major if you've read the 1st 2 books)

> And these make for a great cross over with Buffy.

We'll see if I can write somethign worthy of them. The series is
slightly humorous and I don't know if I write that way for an
entire fic.  And I haven't lived with a cat for years so my "cat
writing skills" might be a bit rusty :-).

There are only 3 fan fics based on her stories that i've ever
found - based on one of her fantasy series - search by summary
in Misc-Books on ff.net for 2 of them (The third is on the web
page of the author of one of the ff.net stories) - I didn't read
them once I discovered they were m/m slash - not something I'm
into.

There's a Yahoo Group "nineabove" for the curious. There used to
be a web page but it seems to have died recently and the new one
is only in the talking stages so far.
