Just wondering if someone here might know what "A Keeper of the Home" means. OSC signed my Heartfire book with that saying, and I thought maybe Heartfire would explain it, but I'm just about done with it and I still don't know what it means.
I got it signed at the release of "Shaddow Puppets", does it relate to that book? Figured someone here might know...
Thank ya!

Look closer.

It says, "A Keeper of the Flame."

Sorry. I was reading over your shoulder.

OSC has certain catch-phrases he often uses when signing each book. "Keeper of the Flame" is one for Heartfire.

Oooohhhh. Right. My bad. It really does look like Keeper of the Home, though. Hm, don't I feel smart? [Wall Bash]

Well, when I got that book signed, my mother was gone taking care of my grandma, so I was feeling like the woman of the house, the responsible one...a keeper of the home... I guess my brain just kinda implied it in there. [Big Grin]

Right then, thanks!

I think you mean omniscient.
