One upon a time there was an Amazon reviewer whose name was Harriet Klausner. She was the #1 reviewer on Amazon and her reviews were at times very odd. Her review of MAGIC BLEEDS stated that Kate and Curran were on the outs, which meant that “there was absolutely no twittering.” Since Twitter and internet don’t really exist in KD universe due to the magic apocalypse, the review made us laugh and we had written the first Twitter conversation between Kate and Curran. Since then we have done a few more, so here are most of them in no particular order.
They are more like texts, really, than Twitter, so we renamed them.
I’ll be right back
Jim: 15 minutes to Pack/People meeting.
Kate: I’ll be late.
Jim: Why?
Kate: I’ve got to do something.
a minute later
Curran: What do you mean you’ll be late? Where r you?
Kate: I’ll be right there, just start without me.
Curran: The meeting’s been set over a month in advance. Where r you?
Kate: I said, I’ll be right there.
Curran: Where. Are. You?
Kate: Don’t take that tone of voice with me, I don’t appreciate it.
Curran: Would you just tell me where you are?
Kate: Corner of manticore and white.
Curran: Half an hour away. Why am I not surprised. What are you doing there?
Kate: I’ve got to do something. I don’t appreciate being interrogated.
Jim: There is a giant armored octopus on the corner of manticore and white.
Curran: What?
Jim: It’s on TV.
Kate to Jim: I kil u.
Jim to Kate: Payback.
Curran: I can see you on the news. Kate, answer your phone.
Curran: Answer your phone, damn it.
Curran to Kate: Don’t even think about it.
Kate to Curran: I’ll bring sushi to meeting. Love u, bye.
Jim: I think she just dropped her I-phone.
Curran to Kate: God fucking damn it.
Jim: That was a nice cut on his tentacle. Should I hold the meeting?
Curran: No, start without me. I’ll be right back.
The Wilson Building
Raphael to Curran: Are you there?
Curran: Yes.
Raphael: I’m at a real estate auction. The pervert is here. He’s trying to buy the Wilson building.
Curran: What’s the bid?
Raphael: Six hundred grand.
Curran: Bid against him.
Raphael: Got it.
Curran: What the hell is the Wilson building?
Raphael: Beats me.
Curran to Jim: Why would Saiman want to buy the Wilson building?
Jim to Curran: Hello to you too, Your Majesty.
Curran: Can you just answer the damn question?
Jim to Curran: Let me check on it.
Raphael: 700K.
Curran: Is he in?
Raphael: Oh yeah, he is in.
Curran: keep going.
Kate to Curran: Where are you? I thought we had a sparring date.
Curran: Something’s come up.
Kate: Oh really?
Curran: I’ll be right there. Give me ten minutes.
Raphael: 900K.
Curran: Keep bidding.
Kate: What are you up to?
Curran: Nothing.
Kate: You sound suspicious.
Curran: How can you tell how I sound through Twitter?
Kate: I’m coming up to our rooms.
Raphael: One mil. Curran, that’s a lot of money…
Raphael: Curran?
Curran: Sorry, had to move to the bathroom. Keep bidding.
Curran to Jim: anything?
Jim: I’m checking on it.
Raphael: 1,200,000 <— zeroes. A lot of them.
Curran to Jim: Keep bidding.
Curran to Raphael: Today.
Raphael: I didn’t get that.
Jim: Keep bidding on what?
Kate: I know you’re in the bathroom. I can see your shadow in the gap under the door.
Curran to Kate: Trained investigator.
Kate: Is everything okay in there?
Raphael: 1,400,000 Holy shit, I don’t even know if we can cover this.
Curran: Keep bidding.
Curran to Jim: WHAT’S IN THE WILSON BUILDING?
Jim: Someone’s got a temper.
Raphael: $1,600,000. Curran, Curran, this is bad, this is really bad
Kate: I can hear you typing on your phone.
Curran: No, you can’t.
Jim: Saiman wants it because it’s next to Red Room, an underground casino.
Raphael: $1,750,000 Our Father, who art in Heaven…
Jim: The area had been leveled by a freak hurricane last month.
Raphael: Hallowed be Thy Name…
Jim: Wilson is the only place intact enough to convert to a hotel within a five mile radius.
Curran to Raphael: drop it. Walk away.
Raphael: Oh God. Oh my God.
Curran to Raphael: Did he buy it?
Raphael: He got it for $1,800,000. He looks green.
Curran to Jim: I just made Saiman pay $1,800,000 for a $600,000 building.
Jim: There is something wrong with you, man.
Curran to Kate: Hey baby. How about that sparring?
Kate: You know, instead of Twitting, you could just open the door.
The Dress
Kate: At the market. Do you want anything besides coffee?
Curran: Meat.
Kate: What kind of meat?
Curran: Delicious meat.
Kate: I get that. Beef or venison?
Curran: I don’t care. Hey, so about your dress.
Kate: Which dress?
Curran: The white one. I washed it but the blood won’t come out.
Kate: Did you try to do laundry again?
Curran: I don’t try. I do.
Kate: Julie, is he doing laundry?
Julie: Yussss.
Kate: Did he separate whites and darks or did he just stuff them all together into the washing machine again?
Julie: He separated. He bleached your dress. I told him not to do it.
Kate: It’s the second time he has ever done laundry in his entire life. We just need to cut him some slack.
Kate: Hey honey, did you use bleach on my silk dress?
Curran: Yes, I did. The stains won’t come out. The instructions on the container said to soak it in a gallon of water and a cup of bleach, so it’s been soaking.
Kate: Aha. Can you check on the dress?
Curran: Sure. Hmm. Kate, I don’t know how to tell you, but your dress has holes in it. I don’t know how that happened.
Curran: Kate?
Kate: I didn’t like that dress anyway.
Kate: Curran, are you there?
Curran: Yeah. Hang on, there is something walking across our lawn.
Kate: It’s probably just the electric meter dude again.
Kate: Curran? Do not assault the meter person. If you chase him up a tree again, we’ll never hear the end of it. I’m serious.
Kate: Julie, what the hell is he doing?
Julie: There is a giant two headed dog in our yard. It has huge horns and it’s dripping glowing spit. Curran’s talking to it. Hang on, I’ll open the window.
Kate: Oh.
Julie: It’s just told him it’s a demon. He’s asking it what it wants.
Kate: ::facepalm::
Julie: Apparently, it wants to eat his face. Oh it puked up a dog corpse. Gross.
Julie: He-he-he.
Kate: Is he beating it?Paragraph
Julie: With a cinder block the contractors left.
Kate: Does he look happy?
Julie: Yus. He’s smiling. There is blood everywhere.
Kate: ::sigh:: Do you want anything from the market?
Julie: Eyeliner and apples.
Dabwaha
Dabwaha was a contest ran by Dear Author and SMBT jointly and one year Kate Daniels and Hidden Legacy were pitted against each other in the finale. Usually the rival authors troll each other but since we are the only authors invoived, we must troll ourselves…
Dina: Welcome to the Dabwaha debate. We are here, at Gertrude Hunt Inn, to help you make a decision between two books, Magic Breaks and Burn For Me. One of these novels will take home the title of the Dabwaha Champion. On our right we have Kate Daniels and Curran Lennart who will argue for Magic Breaks. On our left we have Nevada Baylor and Connor Rogan for Burn For Me.
Let’s begin with Kate and Curran. Why do you feel your book should win Dabwaha?
Curran: We’re a more established series.
Kate: Yes. We were here first.
Curran: Also, we are an actual couple.
Dina: Response?
Rogan: Are you married?
Kate: We’re engaged.
Nevada: But you are getting married in this upcoming book, right?
Kate: Not exactly.
Rogan: So you’ve been engaged for two books now. You live together. You clearly have an adopted child. Yet, you are unmarried.
Curran: What’s your point?
Rogan: Is that a common thing in the future?
Nevada: Maybe it’s like magic. Maybe sometimes you are married and sometimes, when it’s convenient, you are not married?
Dina: I now have to reiterate that no violence will be tolerated. Please continue.
Curran: Why is marriage even an issue?
Rogan: It is clear that hero and heroine of the books should lead by example. You didn’t get together until fourth book, you are now on book eight and you have yet to finalize your commitment. We are questioning your moral integrity.
Curran: You are not married. You are not even together. You just have this instalust thing going.
Kate: Yes, you are just “forced together” by “Circumstance” so you can make out in public. Your moral integrity seems to be situational. Also, last time I checked, exhibitionism isn’t exactly a behavior people should imitate.
Nevada: It was one time. Your werelion broke into your apartment. And you physically brawl throughout the series.
Kate: You billionaire kidnapped you and chained you to the floor. If you need some self-defense pointers, I’ll be happy to teach you after the debate.
Nevada: Coming from a woman who by her own admission couldn’t hit a barn with a bullet, that’s not much of an insult. I can help you with that.
Kate: I can hit a barn with a bullet.
Nevada: How?
Kate: I’ll just have to throw it.
Rogan: You only have two books left.
Curran: No, you only have two books left. We have three.
Nevada: We are under contract for two more books and unlike the two of you, we’re not going to drag it out and toy with people’s emotions.
Kate: That’s probably because the two of you have the emotional depth of a tater tot.
Rogan: You’re on the way out. We are newer, cooler, and we have the benefit of worldbuilding that doesn’t make people’s heads hurt.
Kate: Aha. So you’re like us, except dumbed down.
Nevada: No, we are younger, more dynamic, and we have the benefit of many years of experience our authors accumulated while working on your books.
Rogan: Face it, you were a trial run.
Curran: We have the fans. You are just piggybacking off our success.
Kate: Two words: side series.
Nevada: We are financially stable. First, I have a detective agency that actually makes money. Rogan has a company that …
Kate: Does something unspecified that also makes money? You don’t even know what he does for a living.
Nevada: At least, he doesn’t turn into a lion at night.
Kate: At least, he doesn’t try to buy me.
Rogan: First, I didn’t try to buy her. Second, it’s probably because he doesn’t have any money to buy you with.
Curran: I don’t have to buy her. She loves me. Did Nevada ever say “I love you?”
Rogan: Unlike you, I don’t have to have the affirmation.
Curran: It’s a yes or no question, spoiled rich boy.
Rogan: I’m sorry, did you ever hold a job? Any job? You look like a big strong guy. Military service, perhaps?
Curran: I served my people for seventeen years. You, with all your money, can’t even buy a shirt so you don’t run around naked on your covers. People are now pasting things to cover you up. You’re an embarrassment.
Nevada: Yes, you were the king, who womanized and had his every need attended to so he could occasionally roar. Some of us work for a living.
Kate: Really? How old are you? Twenty four or so? You still live with your mom?
Curran: Oh, shots fired.
Nevada: I live with my mom because she needs me. Unlike you, I actually have a good relationship with my remaining parent.
Kate: That was a low blow. I didn’t expect anything else from you.
Curran: It’s a good question. How is this romance going to work, exactly? Is Rogan going to have to clear all of your relatives like a running back on a football field and then, when he gets to your loft, they can all listen and yell touchdown when he lands in there?
Dina: Mr. Rogan please put down the refrigerator. Mr. Lennart, your claws and teeth are not necessary. I think we’re done here. Each of you, final words.
Curran: Vote for us. We were here first. We’ve entertained you for years. We have a history together.
Nevada: What’s in the past is in the past. Vote for us. We are the new best thing and we’ll entertain you for years to come.
Kate: There is only one Beast Lord!
Rogan: Yes, and his name is Jim Shrapshire. Vote for us. We’re not Dorothy and a Cowardly Lion.
Dina: Okay. We are so sorry to cut this debate short. Please don’t worry about your heroes and heroines, the Inn is very gently restraining them and they will not be harmed. We hope you’ve enjoyed this debate. As always, Gertrude Hunt welcomes you any time.
Conlan’s Birthday Text
Jim to Curran: What should I buy your son for his first birthday?
Curran: Nothing loud.
Curran: Nothing that makes noise or lights. No lights.
Jim: Great.
Jim to Dali: We need something loud.
Dali: We could get him a set of drums.
Jim: I want something louder. Something that wails like a banshee.
Dali: Let me think about it.
Raphael to Curran: What should we get Conlan?
Curran: Nothing loud.
Raphael: will do.
Raphael to Andrea: He says nothing loud.
Andrea: Hahahaha.
Raphael: I know, right? I feel his pain. It’s delicious.
Andrea: Seriously, though, what are we getting him? What kind of a gift do you get a human boy? What did you get when you were a toddler?
Raphael: A knife.
Andrea: O_o.
Raphael: It was cool. It had a leather handle and it smelled like leather and oil. I carried it everywhere. I’d sniff it and stab things.
Andrea: Have I told you you’re a sicko? 😉
Raphael: That’s why you married me.
Andrea: What did you stab with your knife?
Raphael: Everything. Trees. Couch cushions. I stabbed mom’s desk one time.
Andrea: I bet Aunt B just loved that.
Raphael: Yeah, she took the knife away for the whole day.
Andrea: You don’t even know how spoiled you are. If we try to give him a knife, Kate will blow a gasket. Also Conlan is one year old. He doesn’t need a knife.
Raphael: I don’t know. The way that kid is moving around and babbling, he’s more like two. Sometimes he gives me the creeps.
Andrea: He’s Roland’s grandson. What do you want?
Dali to Jim: I found it. It’s a truck.
Jim: What?
Dali: The gift for Conlan. It’s a fire truck.
Jim: You want to get him a fire engine?
Dali: Not a real one. A toy fire engine. It’s about three feet tall and made of wood. It has a ladder and he can climb it. It runs on enchanted water and if you chant it up, it makes lights and the siren goes off.
Jim: Is it loud?
Dali: I can barely hear myself think.
Jim: Buy it.
Dali: It’s pricey.
Jim: I don’t care. BUY IT. Before someone else does.
Dali: We can put a big blue bow on it.
Jim: I love it.
Raphael to Andrea: What did you get for your birthday?
Andrea: A beating. Sometimes with extra helping of “why aren’t you dead yet?”
Raphael: … I’m an idiot.
Andrea: It’s okay.
Raphael: Andy, are you at home?
Andrea: Yes.
Raphael: Look in my underwear drawer.
Andrea: O_O
Raphael: Just do it.
Andrea: Who knows what I might find in there? What am I looking for?
Raphael: You’ll know it when you see it.
Raphael: …
Raphael: Andrea?
Raphael: Baby?
Andrea: I hate you. I have a clan meeting in ten minutes and I’m sitting here bawling my eyes out.
Raphael: Do you like it?
Andrea: It’s beautiful.
Raphael: The sapphire is for you, the ruby is for me, and the diamond is for Baby B. We’re all together. I was saving it for our anniversary next week, but I think today is better.
Andrea: I’m still crying.
Raphael: I love you. You’re my favorite. I love you and Baby B more than anything, Andy.
Curran to Kate: Hey, baby.
Kate: I want to run away.
Curran to Kate: That good, huh.
Kate: Yep.
Curran: What did he do?
Kate: He flushed an orange down the toilet.
Curran: … How? Oranges float.
Kate: He peeled it.
Curran: Are you serious?
Kate: Yep. Found him in the bathroom with the water pouring out of the toilet. He was sitting on the floor, splashing, and giggling.
Kate: I know you’re laughing. Do not laugh!
Curran: That’s terrible.
Kate: Why me? Why?
Curran: How the hell did he figure out that he needed to peel the orange?
Kate: I don’t know. He is special.
Curran: What is he doing now?
Kate: He found Derek and Julie’s present in the closet and opened it before I could get to him.
Curran: What did they get him?
Kate: A cowboy hat and a saddle.
Curran: I don’t want him anywhere near horses. He is a human kid. He could fall and break his neck. A horse could step on him.
Kate: It’s a very small saddle. Custom made.
Curran: For what?
Kate: For Grendel. It fits him perfectly.
Curran: Kate? What is our son doing exactly?
Kate: I had to shower him after his toilet water escapade. I toweled him off and started mopping. While I cleaned the bathroom, he found the present, put the saddle on Grendel, and now he is riding around the house.
Curran: Naked?
Kate: No. He has a cowboy hat on.
Kate: When are you coming home?
Curran: Hold on, baby. I’ll be there in half an hour.
Kate: Good.
Kate: Bring food.
Kate: I’m going to take tomorrow off. Do you think something might attack the city?
Curran: Something always attacks the city.
Kate: Oh good. I need a me day.
Getting Distracted (aka The Kluddle)
Curran: Hey, how is the shopping going?
Kate: I found really good tomatoes.
Curran: Oh good. Out of curiosity, what kind of monster looks like a rabid wolf that stands on hind legs? About eight feet tall, with big scaly bat wings?
Kate: Bear claws? Red eyes? Glows blue?
Curran: Yes, that’s the one.
Kate: It’s a kludde out of Belgium. Cape Fear River has been making stagnant pools all over the place after the last storm. It probably spawned in one of those. Why?
Curran: No reason.
Kate: Curran, is there a kludde in our yard?
Curran: Seems that way. So what else did you get besides tomatoes?
Kate: Where is our son?
Curran: Talking to the kludde.
Kate: What is it saying?
Curran: Something about ripping out Conlan’s heart and eating it.
Kate: Okay, and what is Conlan saying?
Curran: He is asking it why that specific threat. Ripping the heart out requires breaking the ribs and according to our son, it’s “laborious” while ripping out the throat is faster, easier, and more efficient. He seems genuinely curious, and the kludde is stumped.
Kate: Why me?
Curran: I’m watching them from the wall. I can jump down there in half a second.
Kate: If you do, don’t rip its head off…
Curran: Too late. Conlan just did.
Kate: Okay, it’s going to split into seven copies of itself. Look for the one that’s slightly brighter than the other.
Curran: By brighter you mean?
Kate: More saturated.
Curran: …
Kate: What’s going on?
Curran: He made blood claws, ripped out all of their throats, and now he is lecturing the corpses.
Kate: I think we should limit his visits to his grandfather. His tendency to orate is clearly rubbing off on Conlan, and it’s too dangerous. Something could attack him, and he wouldn’t notice it until it’s too late.
Curran: He is nicely distracted by the sound of his own voice.
Kate: Are you going to jump down and show him the error of his ways?
Curran: Yep.
Kate: Have fun. Take pics if you can.
Thank you so much. I loved reading every one of the conversations.
Miserable hot day 106 degrees. 930 at night and 90 degrees. Which makes tomorrow worse. Inspired by Maud Arland in SOB. Now smiling and loving this stuff. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this. I really appreciate it and enjoyed. I miss Kate Daniels World, I think I going to read it again. Thanks for everything! Love u!
Lol
Those were great, I’m still chuckling. Thanks to whoever posted these
Hahahahahahahaha….love it. More please
LOL
Thank you. 🙂
Okay. You legitimately need to have your characters debate one another more often, it’s delightful. Thank you for brightening my day!!
Omg, I almost peed myself laughing at the barn door joke!
Hehe..still laughing
They are so great!
I went to go vote for Kate but the link is dead.
Ditto
This just made my day, I don’t know who to vote for so I didn’t vote, I love the both series too much to pick a side.
Such a fun read! I remember Harriet Klausner. She was everywhere! Lol.
Thank you for the laughs. I forgot how much I enjoyed these!
You guys ROCK
Oh, thank you!!!
I’m laughing so hard right now. Loved the debate between Curran, Kate, Rogan, and Nevada. Conlan riding Grendel with just his cowboy hat…he-he-he! 😀
I have to remind myself this was before Conlan changed into his half form and formed blood claws.
Thanks! This was great. I love, love, love this series. I need more ASAP.
I’m having withdrawals. Please keep the books and everything else coming ?
Loved this! Thanks so much! Could we also PLEASE see Jim’s POV of Curran’s abdication that was mentioned earlier?
I love those. Remind me who won? I want to say Kate and Curran.
Now that I think about it, I’m pretty sure Kate and Curran won.
That was awesome! Thank you!!
I always thought it was funny how Rafael referenced “the Pervert” and everybody knew who he was talking about (not that the Beast Lord would hold a grudge or anything). And the <–that's a lot of zeros, and I can hear you thru the bathroom door! 🙂 LMAO…again!
Sooo glad you reposted this: somehow I missed the dabwha showdown and it’s great! As always.
Thank you ?
Oh, it’s so awesome to read these again! They’re just hilarious! Just wondering, who won the DABWAHA?
+1 ?
THANK YOU! ?
Harriett Klausner was such a fraud. One of the many, many problems with Amazon reviewers.
But so enjoyed re-reading these convos.
“I need a me day.” I loved that line.
So much fun! Thank you for making me smile.
I’m new to the blog, so I’ve never read any previous texts or debates. These are hysterical! Thanks for all the laughs! Although the baby Conlan antics brought some flashbacks from my own kid’s childhood …
Show-off. That was awesome
So funny
Loved reading these. I’m going have to drive into Curren and Kate’s world for a few hours later now x
I love this so much. Haven’t re read the Kate Daniel’s series in ages – going to have to give it another go!! And I love Rogan but . . . #TeamCurran
+1 Yes – time for me to reread too!
So, so happy about this. LOVE these texts!
Thank you!
I don’t mind these showing up again. I missed some of the original postings, and now they’re all in one place for my re-reading enjoyment I love Conlan’s birthday the best! 🙂
Thank you
Think you. This was the best group of things since sliced bread!
Awesome! I love stuff like this…totally cracked me up!
Please do more! Lol
#TeamCurran&Kate
Thank you so much for the giggles!!!
Thank you, great way to start the day! Have a wonderful day.
So good!!! This was such an unexpected and hilarious read! Oh my goodness… Kate Daniels versus Hidden Legacy was brilliant ? ? The debate I didn’t know I needed… Thank you ?
These are wonderful! Thanks for adding some humor to the world. We need it .
I couldn’t vote after the debate, Kate and Curran all the way! I can’t say how many times I have read this series.
Oh. My. God. I love you both so much! This was a perfect birthday present and it’s not even my birthday.
LoL ?
I love these interactions with characters.
Thought it was just the series I loved reading…?. You should have these regular tweets from your characters to tide us away as we wait for the next book
Sitting here at work, dying laughing. Cops have no idea why, since I don’t think most of mine can’t read anyway.
These make me unbelievably happy. Your brand of humor hits every perfect note when it comes to what will make me laugh out loud so much and so hard, my husband has to run upstairs to find out what all the fuss is about. Thank you!
I’ve read these many times over the years and they STILL NEVER GET OLD!!! Thanks!
Those were great!!
Also, I wish we’d get more of Julie. It’s a shame her side story wasn’t liked. The idea of her evolving into Kate’s supporter and also Roland’s heir sounded really intriguing.
TP said: “Also, I wish we’d get more of Julie. It’s a shame her side story wasn’t liked. The idea of her evolving into Kate’s supporter and also Roland’s heir sounded really intriguing.”
I totally agree!
So much ever-lovin’ FUN!
Thank you. As always, you two are the best!
Anything you write, it must be MINE!*
*apologies to John Kovalik for stealing his catch phrase
I love rereading these!
So loved these! Makes me want more Julie, too! This brightened my day, which needed it! Thank you!
Loved Kate& Curran books, the Innkeeper series . Excellent storytelling
Thank you so much! I hadn’t ever read the Dina arbitrating Kate & Curran with Nevada & Rogan. That was AWESOME!!!!
Exactly the Kate and Curran fix I needed. Thank you. I miss them.
This made me realize how much I miss Kate and Curran’s world!!! Love the dialogues. Totally embarrassing to burst out laughing in a restaurant… hard to blame it on the cellphone..?
Bwhahahahahaha. Thank you. This was spectacularly wonderful on a Monday where I am unmotivated and struggling.
Trying very hard not to hist out laughing while I’m reading these as I am on a quick break at my office.
Thanks! I loved it!
Thank you! I really really miss Kate and Curran’s world. I am currently listening to magic series for the 4th time now….
I LOVED THEM SITTING AT THE COMPUTER GIGGLING GLAD MY HUSBAND ISN’T HOME HE WOULD ASK ME IF I NEEDED MEDICATION.
This is the most glorious thing I’ve ever read!
100% agree!
Love, love, love!
Dina’s was my favorite, until I got to the birthday gifts (as a mom of littles it had me in such gigglefits)!
??????
???
I really needed these laughs ! These were fricking awesome. I loved the snark between the two couples in the contest snippet. Thanks so much for sharing!
I laughed soooooo hard… Thank you… And yes Kate and Curran would ALWAYS get my vote!!!
I laughed until I cried
Thank you; I loved these before, and it’s great to see them again.
??? I love it!!
I tried to vote. #TeamBeastLord
Thank you for these. Did anyone else try to vote on the series? I did !
Thank you, thank you, thank you. The people in the cafeteria are still wondering why I’m laughing by myself.
OMG. BAHAHA! I either missed or forgot about the KD vs HL post – laughing so hard I’m crying!
+100
Omg I adored that with ever bone in my body!!! The debate was the best.
Great! Ioved every word.
You really have to write a book about Curran and Kate’s child.
Ditto!
I’d like a Julie and Derek novella to wrap their story up but I’d LOVE a sequel SERIES about Conlan’s many adventures.
I think these made me fall in love with them all over again ?
OMG, Thanks for sharing these again. They’re even better the second time around! ?????
Haha! These are spectacular! Although I am going to disagree with Kate about the emotional depth of a tator tot. Whoever doesn’t go completely bonkers over tator tots might just be a psychopath in my book. But I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt-I was never very good at debates either! ??? Absolute gold, these!
This is the best thing that has happened to me all day. I’m in heaven
Bwahahahahaaaa!!!
That was a lovely gift on an aggravating Monday.
Personally, I’m team Curran & Kate, but Nevada & Rogan are fun, too. ?
My stomach hurts from laughing too much totally loved this 🙂
Laughing til my sides hurt. What a great start to the day! Thank you for the wonderful pick-me-up. I really needed it. 🙂
I love these glimpses into the worlds you’ve created.. thanks and keep them coming, please.
A f*cking gift. Thank you.
<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3 Absolutely love it. And miss it already. Need more.
OMG, that was so good! I hope y’all write a book about Conlan, such a clever little guy.
Each time i’m wondering the same thing : where did the “orange in the toilet” idea come from? Who thought to peel it?
My daughter is currently 2 and finding A LOT of ideas, when will this particular one appear?
Awesome! Love it!!! On an unrelated note…. ripper cushions!!!! BWAHAHAHA!!!!
You know Im gonna peel an orange see for myself if it float or sink.
Can I just say I miss Kate and Curran et al. Cause I really do, but I really really want more Hidden Legacy. Ahhhrrggg! Kate & Curran or HL. I want then all. You guys need to start writing crap. Really, if your writing started to suck I would not have this terrible need to read all of your books. I wouldn’t be in pain waiting for your next book release. I wouldn’t buy them , spend the money on them… OH!
Nevermind!
Thank you Authorlords!!! I loved the last piece every parent has felt like this.
I’ve had the naked on dog thing happen to me. Not fun! BTW they need a Instagram account for the baby!
Y’all are the best! I was totally LMAO. I wanted to vote as well…of course, I’m not at all clear which way I would have swung. But whatever!
I <3 these so much! I really want more stories in the KD world and I have no pity for people who don't understand the universe (I've frequently considered the mechanics of running a GURPS or even Pathfinder campaign based on it).
I remember when the Kate/Curran vs Nevada/Connor was on . Several weeks before, everyone was posting we had to vote so it would come down to these two couples. I was so nervous I would miss a vote.
I loved being a part of this , I believe Kate won.
Love these snippets, tweets, just live reading them over and over.
Thank you , and I am reading Sweep of the Blade now, just got to the ripper cushions part . And Karat. Would love more on her and Arland’s Mom.
Thanks hope Kid 1 is feeling better.

Hope things are better on the home front.
Lovey Lovey Yeah Yeah
Your snippets always make my day.
!BUWAHAHAHA!
Thank you!
I’m sitting in a hotel room laughing like a maniac!!!! These are brilliant! I would buy a book of these if you wrote them. Please write more–they’re hilarious!
I love it!!! I would love some more short stories! You know, in all your spare time! Haha!!!
2 more books left? What? Nooooo… ?????
Thanks. It was nice to hear from Kate and crew. Her voice “why me?” “why ?” sounds so familiar, I miss her terribly.
Absolutely love this stuff.
So good. #Luther
Needed some laughs. The debate is priceless…and Conlan’s. birthday is even funnier after a hiatus.
Thanks! I needed that.
Loved it!! Thank you?
I’m stuck between laughing hysterically and crying because I miss them so much!!! Love you guys!
How wonderful to visit with dear book friends – even if only for a short while! Thanks for putting a smile on my face on this Mondayest Monday ever!
This was so delightful to read. I want to go back in time and read all those books for the first time again. That’s
how good the books are. Thank you!
I read most of these ages ago and I have to say that they are even better now. I honestly needed the laugh.
All the texts were great but the contest section? I don’t think I’ve laughed that loud in a long time. Thank God I was in the car when I was reading it. No I wasn’t driving…… I was at least parked.
I needed this laugh soooooo desperately! Thank you!
You guys are great writer’s. Love all of your works but I can’t choose between books. It’s a betrayal.
Sooo good!!! I miss Kate and Curran so much!!! Nevada and Rogan are wonderful, but Kate and Curran are my faves and always will be!
Still laughing!!!
You guys are hysterical! Thanks for the best laughs in a month.
Sometimes you just need a ‘me’ day.
“I need a me day” too. Snort
.
OMG, It’s all so very good. The me day… I need one too. And a naked Conlan riding Grendel… LMAO, made my day. We definitely need more. I know the series is done, but boy do I need another few more fixes… ?
I need more!
Thanks for taking your time to write this. You made my dayor week.
The fight between Curran and Rogan was epic.
I’m still laughing Rotf!!!! You guys are hilarious!!!! I’d totally buy these if you published them! Ijs??????
THIS IS AWESOME!!! Thanks for taking the time to create it. Just perfect.
So much good stuff! Thank you!
Hope everyone is getting better. Sending good thoughts to you all.
Absolute perfection! More, please??? LMAO
Oh, I so miss them! Might have to re-read again! This was fantastic!!!!!
Love them. Everyone needs a me day every so often.
Oh my gosh please write more! I needed this today!
Thank you! Love them all, especially naked baby riding Grindel. LMAO
Absolutely awesome! Conlan riding Grendel is hilarious I can picture it.. Thank you this was alot of fun.
I LOVE these fictional what if they could tweet/text snips! So much fun in the weirdness of everyday life category.
This was AWESOME!
Absolutely made my day.
Thank you
+1 Totally made my day! Was laughing while reading and even afterwards and re-read it for going to sleep – hilarious! Thank you very very much! 🙂
OMG This brought me right back into their world! Thank you so much for giving us this little peek!
Love this!
Thanks!
I read everything you write, and marvel at it all.
I wish I could humanely clone our authorlords, and have the clones write day and night.
PS
No one tell them that a dad knitted his baby’s sleep chart graph results into a baby blanket. Conlan will use it for some wickedness.

I’m re-reading the series right now and just realized that this is the fictional year that: “Georgia Code, Title 38: under Georgia Supernatural Emergency Management Act of 2019” Law goes into effect. Ah, good memories.
Thank you 🙂
Fantastic! Made my day to revisit and I like all the books!!!!
Perfectly silly! I love them!
Hi Ilona, thanks for posting all these again.
And nothing at all to do with the above, but … Iron & Magic is a 99p UK Kindle daily deal today (23.7) . Link below.

Loved this. A short story, snippet and POV collection would be great. I just reread Magic Triumphs. I loved the food quarrel. My mom used to give me chunks of Velveeta which I loathed. It ended when I threw the Velveeta into the dryer which was running. I was around 2. I followed that by slitting my throat on a coffee table when I fell off the back of the couch.
Lmao!!! I love it. ?????
Thank you!!!that was a.great surprise. Any time we can spend in the KD universe is time well spent…. More please!!! 🙂
ROTFLMAO!!! ???
Thank you! A great way to wake up. ? I’m going to end up giggling off and on all day.
Thank you for the grins and giggles! I needed that.
These are always good. Will there be new posts/tweets?
Start of a new book!!! Yus!
Thank you, I love reading and re-reading it. Kate Daniels series and Innkeeper series are my favorites, I re-read them occasionally and just finished reading “Sweep of the blade”. Looking forward to more stories, whenever they will be.
I need more days ?
Who won between Magic Bleeds & Burn For Me?? I need answers! Especially since the banter made me spill water out my nose
Love each one! Thank you! Made me laugh. ?
Thank you for the laughs! I love these twitter/texts.
Which series won the DABWAHA?
Love all of these! But I vote that we keep both series going – love the characters and the situations in which they find themselves.
Can you please please please give us more? Even if it’s just short stories?
This has made my day! ???! More please!
I read your blog because it always leaves me happy
Thanks for the cool memory haha, I love those kind of texts !!
But I have now a very big question because my boyfriend is re reading the books and just said something that piques my interest greatly. Is Grendel Bran dog ? To him it seemed so perfectly normal and logical it just left me speechless. Dang. IS THE DOG BRAN’s ?
what do you guys think ??
These all make me very happy 🙂
I truly hope we someday get to see Conlan all grown up, surrounded by all the adults who love him, and can embarrass him by reminding him of riding naked on Grendel.
Reading this puts me in my mental ‘Happy Place’. Thank you?????
So… what did Raphael and Andrea buy Conlan?
I love the image of Conlan riding Grendel. I can see the grin on Grendel’s face in my mind. He probably thought it was the best thing ever. He loves the kiddo.
“A me day.”
If you need more texting ideas: A freaked out Julie texting either Andrea or Derek while babysiting Conlan, not wanting to bother Kate and Curran because something was attacking the city, and Errra was with them.
I loved getting to revisit the world of KD and Curran. Such wonderful characters. I would happily read more text tidbits whenever the mood / inspiration allows.
Thanks! Those were great!!!
Thank you for the joy these bring me!
*satisfaction*
Thank you for this?
Is Conlan going to have a sibling?
That was awesome! Each of them made me smile. Thank you.
All of them were great!
?? This was so fun! Thank you. (And I was almost over Kate’s and Curran’s departure) Time to start reading ? them again.☺?
I REALLY get the me day! I’m the custodial grandparent for a 6 yr old…and a 16month old. 30+ years ago it was easier. Had more energy. Had a real income.
I missed a couple of these before, the DABWAHA, and part of(?) Conlan’s B-day gift. I love them all!
