| - Jumeaux was a Darkover fanzine edited by Lynne Holdom. The first issue was published in November, 1977 and after that, the fanzine appeared quartely in February, May, August and November each year until November 1981, when issue #10 was published. In 1981, Holdom started to publish the Jumeaux Definitive Edition, where she reprinted material from earlier issues. The run of the Definitive Edition is unclear, but at least four issues were announced and published. The sporadic and rather bewildering numbering system makes it very hard to follow the run of the Definitive Edition: apparently, Definitive Edition #4 was the first issue published in Janurary 1981, followed by #4 in May 1981, #1 in October 1981 and #2 in March 1982. Jumeaux #5, the World Wreckers Inc. issue was published in March 1983. Jumeaux #9, the Stormqueen issue came out in August 1983 and Jumeaux #6, the Forbidden Tower issue in January 1984. Jumeaux #10, the Two to Conquer issue, was published in June 1985. It is not indicated in the fanzines, whether these issues were part of the Definitive Edition or not. The erratic and inconsistent numbering and dating systems seems to suggest that they were. An unnumbered issue came out in August 1982 and it is not clear whether it belonged to the fanzine's original run, or to the Definite Edition. If it was part of the original run, following the normal quarterly time table it would've been issue #16. If it was part of the Definitive Edition, it could have been Definitive issue #7 or #8 or some issue beyond #10.
- In an interesting parallel with the first two books of the series, the stories of which take place first in the US and then in Paris, Libby traveled there to write and record another two songs for the series. Working again with composer Antonio Gambale, the songs "This Way Forever", "I live in hope" and "Find the Words" were produced. "This Way Forever" is a theme song for the lead characters in the series - the twins Josh and Sophie. The song is sung as a trading male/female vocal duet and explores the duality and intertwined life of twins as challenges in life threaten to tear apart the inseparable. The themes evoked by the song echo the same exploration of these characters in the books. on the 8th of January 2012 the official music video came out. "I live in Hope." Is the second thune for Perenelle Flamle, and it is about how she must have felt while prisoner on Alcatraz Island in "The Sorceress." "Find the Words" is a song about the transformational "Awakening" that both of the twins go through during the course of the story. Again presented as a male/female duet, it explores the idea of point-of-no-return transformations in life, and the sensation of trying to describe the indescribable - a musical response to the same theme covered in the books. During the process of writing and recording these songs, Libby and Antonio visited and drew inspiration from many of the real-world locations described in the second volume set in Paris, including the still-standing 14th century home of Nicholas Flamel and the Paris catacombs. The songs were recorded in the Paris studios of leading French film composer, Nathaniel Mechaly, drawing on a diverse range of instruments from cello, classic electric guitars, to Oberheim and Moog synthesizer. Additional production and final mixing took place in London by programmer and mixer Andy Page, best known for his work mixing Alanis Morissette's album "Flavors of Entanglement". Jumeaux means "twins" in French.
