Yep, Murphy's P-90 in Sm Fwas the only one in the Universe, and Harry had to fashion one for her out of clay, then magic it into existence between books. You caught it!  ;) :D
If you are up to no good, please do no good for me too, okay?   ;D

Here's a question: Aside from that brief glimpse (not even a glimpse really) of her in SK, is Titania ever going to make herself known the way Mab constantly does?

I think Jim answered this at a signing a while back. (The answer being "no".)

Another question. Meryl Trollgirl is gone, and Fix and Lily are Summer's Knight and Lady -- what ever happened to the fourth person in their group, Ace?

RPG gave some info on Ace. Harry has no idea, Ace just fell off the radar. I'll have to reread, it might be that he's dead...

Ace is dead *In joke*. Ah, I really hate Butcher for using that cool name in that character :'(.

Hmmm... Now that you're bringing him to question, I wonder if he's going to come back in the next books?

That "I'm a lazy writer" thing is making me paranoid. I mean, more.

Jim did say, when asked if we were going to see Ace again, "what makes you think you haven't ?"

I guess he was the driver in the hit and run at the beginning of PG and possibly behind the carbomb in WN.

Here's a question: What happens if one of the Nickleheads pick up a second coin? Do they have two fallen angels in their head? Is there like a "No Vacancies" sign? And if they pick it up for just a moment or two then drop it do they get a shadow like Harry/Lash? I can't imagine the ackwardness.  :o

Jim is really cruel. That kind of answer... I think he's making some kind of experiment to see how many theories we can make of his books.

If I could ask, when did he say this? Was it recently, or in the press releases for the other books? And if he is still alive, your theories are freaking awesome, and I wholeheartedly agree. The little creep probably got pulled in as a BC operative.
Murphy: "Maybe you know the monsters, Martin. But I know the guy who stops them."

Dresden: "Don't call me a dinosaur. It isn't fair to the dinosaurs. What did a dinosaur ever do to you?"

Dresden: "Hell's holy stars and freaking stones shit bells."

It was at a signing, and pre-Changes being out; I can't recall exactly when.

I was wondering about Mab's rage.  Why was she so angry and if her condition stems from Harry's actions at Arctis Tor?  Also, has her rage been placated since Harry became the Winter Knight?

Why does Mab have to be pissed off at Harry?
She's got plenty of other things that could have made her angry.  Harry is not the center of Mab's universe.

Jim has said that it's because she is wounded.  We do not know how, or why.  It may be worth pointing out that the first visible sign of Mab's self-control slipping seems to be her response to the mention of Kemmler in DB, predating the events at Arctis Tor in PG.

I'd say red with a splash of blue.
