From Luisa:
I’ve collected the illustrations that I painted for Ilona over the years and put them into a large wall calendar. It features pieces from Kate Daniels, Blood Heir and Kinsmen Universe.
You’ll get twelve images that you can keep as prints once the year is over. They are A3 size (11.7 in x 16.5 in) and printed on 300 g/m² glossy paper.
Sale ends on September 30th. The calendar is being sold for a limited time only and will not be reprinted.
I’ve also released a limited edition of Fated Blades. This hand numbered and signed limited edition print is A3 in size and is limited to 25 copies. Giclée quality print on 308g/m² Hahnemühle Photo Rag paper.
First ten orders get a signed dust jacket of The Kinsmen Universe published by Subterranean Press.

First! ????
Keera says
Pre-ordered calendar!
That retail therapy feels great. ????
We are in quarantine because my seven year old tested postive for strep and covid. Everyone else is vaccinated, but all first person must quarantine along with positive person.
His symptoms are mild but he misses school and is sad he cant see his friends. So it been a rough start to the weekend.
This gives me something to look forward too.
Moderator R says
I’m so sorry Keera. Hope your son will recover soon!
Amber says
Hope your son recovers quickly!
jewelwing says
+1 Best wishes for an uncomplicated recovery.
Pristine says
Wishing him a speedy recovery too
Sabrina says
That is so awesome! Gorgeous artwork in a neat bundle 🙂 I’m hoping the artist lined up a good print run, because knowing the BDH that’ll sell like hotcakes – and deservedly so 🙂
Patricia Schlorke says
Very beautiful prints. Thank you for letting us know about the sale. 🙂
Patricia Schlorke says
I just ordered the calendar and the Fated Blades print. Merry early Christmas to me! ????
Moderator R says
Merry Christmas! I hope you enjoy looking at the purty every day!
Patricia Schlorke says
I will. The only other artist I have bought prints of is Lee Boyle. He is a Native American painter. I have his prints matted and framed with museum glass. If I can, I want to eventually do the same with Luisa’s prints. ????
Kimberly Houle says
I had to order this, just for the art. Thank you
Amber says
Lovely work!
Kayeri says
I had no resistance… both have been ordered… =) btw, how is Camille doing?? I hope she’s bounced back from her fall.
Stefanie says
Very beautiful. The only picture I can’t place is the one left of the Baylor sisters. Who is that?
Moderator R says
Hey Stefanie,
That is Deirdre from A Mere Formality 🙂 https://ilona-andrews.com/a-mere-formality/
I hope this helps 🙂
Stefanie says
Thank you! Should have guessed, but I tend to forget A Mere Formality because I read it only once or twice I think
Simonne says
That’s Deirdre, cultural attaché to the ambassador of the Second Galactic Empire to the branches of the Reigh, crack researcher and diplomat, protagonist from A Mere Formality. (Yes, I had to look the title up 🙂 I think it was bundled with the other Kinsmen novellas, that’s how I have it in ebook form.
Do you know who is second row, first column? Someone from Small Magics?
Moderator R says
That is an illustration from Grace of Small Magics :), which can be read in the Small Magics collection https://ilona-andrews.com/katie-daniels-books/#small
Hope this helps 🙂
Darlene says
Happy birthday to me, what an awesome surprise gift…to myself ????
Patricia Schlorke says
Happy birthday! At least you have a gift you won’t be disappointed with. ????
Erin says
I have never bought a calendar so fast! ????
Dini says
Ordered 🙂 Now I have something ro look forward to while lying around with a broken ankle 😀
Moderator R says
Oh Dini,
I am so sorry. Speedy recovery to you too!
The BDH is all ailments today- hopefully the pretty calendar ushers in a better year <3
MichelleD says
Who is in the picture to the left of Julie?
Moderator R says
That is Grace from Grace of Small Magics. It can be found in the Small Magics collection, together with a lot of other goodies, mainly from Kate Daniels, but also a few stand alones https://ilona-andrews.com/katie-daniels-books/#small
Hope this helps 🙂
Kaitlyn says
They look awesome!
But since I’m a teacher September is the worst month financially, since we don’t get paid till the end of the month and everything is shifted back! I will ogle them from afar and hope there is another calendar in the future!
MerryB says
Heck, I will hope these same pictures will be released again in a different year’s calendar. Being similarly broke to property taxes.
MerryB says
I do understand will not be reprinted. Dream, one may.
Siobhan says
Just a question: as a preorder, will we be charged now or at time of shipping? We’re running low of September €, but will have quite the windfall in October.
Moderator R says
Hey Siobhan,
Please contact Luisa directly with any shipping and payment admin queries https://www.luisapreissler.de/faq
Siobhan says
Thanks!
Briana Baldwin says
I’ve always wanted prints but could never decide which. Calendar solves that!
Thank you for sharing, and everything!
Eleanor Rousseau says
If I wasn’t completely broke right now, I’d order this immediately. The art work is so stunning.
Rose says
So lovely!
Judy E Schultheis says
Already pre-ordered the calendar. Somebody posted a link in a comment a few days ago.
Darlene Brown says
I fell last week and had to have surgery for a compression fracture of my L1 vertebrae. I’m still in pain, still out of work and feeling very sorry for myself. Happy early birthday to me! I NEEDED this y’all! Thank you!
Sleepy says
hope you feel better soon!
jewelwing says
+1 Bone pain sucks. Hope you feel better soon.
Jeanann Stump says
I am so excited. I was able to pre order the calendar. Thank you for sharing this and for everything you do.
Bill G says
Cool.
Tink says
Purchased! Had a little problem trying to use PayPal, so I switched to credit card. Just a head’s up if anyone else wants to try PayPal.
Variel says
Thanks for the heads up.
MerryB says
Rat, lady artist! You would have this sale when I am broke! May the sale bring good things.
Sleepy says
Ohh this calendar looks tempting. But I already have a teapot calendar and I can’t really justify buying two. Illustrations are gorgeous though!
Tink says
One for home and one for work. Problem solved!
Joylyn says
The artwork is just to amazing that I could not pass this up! Thank you for letting us know! I was just trying to convince myself that I had ordered/bought enough for my birthday this month…..but THIS 🙂
Shiloh says
WOW…
PPlor says
Question:
Is Luisa also the same artist for the Innkeeper Series? Will the Innkeeper art be available for purchase in the future?
Moderator R says
Hey PPlor,
No, Luisa is not the artist behind the Innkeeper illustrations. Doris Mantair is creating the covers and art for that series :).
As far as I know, the Innkeeper Chronicles collector edition includes everything https://subterraneanpress.com/the-innkeeper-chronicles-volume-one-by-ilona-andrews-preorder , but I will enquire about other formats for you.
I hope this helps 🙂
Breann says
I got so excited when I saw your link because I thought it was available again! ????
Since you mentioned it, do you know if there’s going to be another printing of this anytime soon? I missed the first time and would love to get a hard copy of it. Thanks! ????
Moderator R says
I don’t, sorry, but will ask 🙂
Anne in Virginia says
Wow, the BDH strikes again. The limited, signed edition of the FATED BLADES print is already sold out. Glad I got my order of it in as soon as I saw the offer. I also ordered the calendar but at least that seems to be an open run if you order before Sept 30.
I would bet that the artist is going to find that the calendar is one of her best sell-through items on the whole list. The BDH is mighty as a marketing force. Just ask Amazon. By the way, since the limited signed edition is no longer available she now seems to be offering a smaller, unsigned version so all hope is not gone if you weren’t fast enough with the order button.
Anne in Virginia
Patricia Schlorke says
I’m glad I ordered the Fated Blades print earlier this morning. Whew!
I agree we (the BDH) are a marketing force. ????
Sivi says
I’ve missed out on the limited edition as it had already sold out when I got my tweet notification 🙁 (for some reason is always a day behind ????♀️) but I got the calender ordered 🙂
Jean says
These are absolutely gorgeous!!
Quick question – are all of these portraits of Ilona Andrews heroines? I don’t recognize some of the titles on the portraits.

Mod R to the rescue! ????????
jing says
I need to bring out my calculator to get my cost divide by 12 prints, winner. 🙂
pre-ordered heheh.
Merry Christmas to me.
Bea says
This is serendipitous as I just found out there would not be a Pratchett calendar next year and this is a great replacement 🙂 🙂 Ordered
Patricia B. says
Calendar ordered! It was my birthday yesterday so this is a belated b-day present or an early Christmas present. Either works for me 🙂 Re: a previous comment: I used PayPal without a problem, so not sure what the issue is there.
Elisabeth says
Hi, I just tried to order the calendar, but New Zealand isn’t on the list of countries to deliver to. I want to get in touch with Luisa to see if there’s another way it can be delivered, but can’t find any contact details on the page. Does anyone know where I can find an email address or similar? Thanks.????
Moderator R says
Contact details for Luisa are here at the bottom of the page 🙂 https://www.luisapreissler.de/faq
Hope this helps 🙂
Lizz D. says
Sooo…. pretty! Luisa your artwork is amazing. 😀
Ally says
I bought the calendar. I tried really hard not to as the funds just keep flowing the wrong direction this month, but they are just so pretty… I can frame them and then they’ll be reading nook pieces. I really wanted the Fated Blades piece too but I had to compromise.
Nicci Madsen says
How much are the calendars? It doesn’t show in American dollars
Moderator R says
Hi Nicci,
Please use a currency converter when you order, such as https://www.xe.com/currencyconverter/convert/?Amount=1&From=EUR&To=USD
Steve lucas says
I would love a copy of the calendar but cant afford it at this time. Great Idea though
wolf says
I don’t like calenders, but this one I had to have :).
Plus it’s the first order I did in a while where I didn’t get penalized for living in a country where the politicians hate small business owners from overseas.
Yay for living in the same country as the artist.
Edina says
Calendar is pre-ordered! This is a lovely opportunity, thank you!
Ara says
squeeeee!
Shannon says
How do you know if you were one of the first 10?
Katie says
Nooooo! I just saw this today! I have been head down in my statistics and economics classes and didn’t see it. Now I have 2 A’s and a case of the sads.
Irene says
Oh no, I missed it ???????????? Saw the post 2 days late ????
