We are leaving the poll open for a bit longer. Yes, we are aware that Dina + Maud = 34%. Don’t worry, your comments have been seen.
Mod R also sent over this gem.
Gordon and I are taking this week easy and working on a fun short story before we decide what to do next. The poll was very helpful. Thank you for voting. š
Nina says
Mod R or whoever made that meme is hilarious. š
Hope your week is, in fact, easy. š Sounds like you really deserve it after the busy time you’ve been having.
Moderator R says
I appropriated an already existing Jason Momoa meme ????. It represents the Eeyore Gang within the wider BDH and their āGet him out of his pjs!ā wishes ????.
Iām right there with them btw hehe.
Amy says
Wow. I donāt know what is scarier, the explanation for that meme or that I understood it! ????
Cheryl M says
????????????
Patricia Schlorke says
????????????????????
KC says
He stole my heart with those eeyore PJs. š
And to be fair we HAVE had him out of those pjs, when his night was interrupted with people needing things of him in his role as volhv.
She booked. *tsks*
I have a feeling Santa needs to leave him with this…
Jean says
Roman and Eeyore!! Two of my favorite guys!! I would definitely wear PJs with Roman AND Eeyore on them!!! ????????????
Kate says
I 100000% vote that we get Roman pjs! We NEED those! (I don’t think that the corporate overlords at Disney would consent to a mash up of Roman and Eeyore, sadly.)
Wendy says
I love this meme!!!
Cynthia says
I first saw Jason Momoa in Star Gate Atlantisā¦ā¦????
Loved All those StarGate shows/ series .
????
????
ā¤ļø
Becky says
Ah, Roman’s Eeyore PJ’s…I had almost forgotten about them. I do love Roman. And Jason Momoa. Saw Dune (really liked it!) but was more upset that Jason shaved his beard than that he died heroically. It was SHOCKING.
Paula says
Thanks for the Monday morning giggle!
a says
Mod R,
I love this very accurate representation of you and Roman. Damn paparazzi can’t leave you guys alone.
Also, yes, a Roman book would be fab.
Audrey L. says
YAAAAAS
Relin says
He is such a neat character!
Ms. Kim says
+1,000,000!
Yala says
I don’t know if the following is at all what you’re looking for, but next time two polls would be kind: One for the book I want next the most that works like this one and one with multiple choice for what I want. Deciding was agony ^^
Cassandra says
Roman is just the best. He wasn’t on the list, but BDH is always thinking of him!
Moderator R says
He was the most popular ask in the āSomething elseā category! We love us a dark volhv ????
Emily says
I asked for him! Out of curiosity what were the other none of the above votes.
Technomancer?????
Moderator R says
Of Swine and Roses actually!
Miet says
Oooh. Can I get a second vote? Pretty please?
njb says
Me too!! Me too!! that was a favorite short.
Milissa says
Yes that was amazing!!
Jaime says
Ohhh Swine and Roses! SO GOOD!!!!
Amber says
I re-read Of Swine and Roses ridiculously regularly. Itās just that wonderful.
Anneke B says
+1
Marie says
Oh I love that story! HL and the Edge has echoes of that story I think. Would love a story or novella about what happened next though ????
Kendal Bozant says
Has there been a following for the “Wizard at Large”? I loved his scene in Blood Heir. “All the crime scenes in Atlanta Metro are mine mine mine.”
Ms. Kim says
+10
Cassandra says
Yes, yes we do! Just that outtake of a potential Roman novel had the BDH baying for more. I’d put Leon in the secondary characters who deserve books pile too.
R Coots says
Yessssssss! LEON! He needs some serious love and I hope his story doesn’t get buried in the background. Come on Leon!
sandie says
Same!
Ms. Kim says
+1000
RElin says
YESSSS!
Annamal says
And Cornelius
Tink says
Oh, that Roman!
Did not know that was his last name.
Kathryn Young says
I just cast my vote for “something new” or “anything you all dream up” when I this update! So my wish will already be granted with the short story! BWAWHAHAHA!
Dorothy says
Did we know that is Romanās last name? Iām sorry I missed that, it is sort of the Slavic version of the name Saiman. Does that mean Evdokia also has that surname? Or does she keep the name she was born with by her own choice and/or cultural norm?
Kelticat says
Going by my (limited) knowledge of Russian surnames, ovitch means son and ova means daughter. This knowledge comes, in part, from Babylon 5 and Susan Ivanova’s family, particularly her brother whose surname on his jumpsuit was Ivanovitch.
Kelticat says
Also Evdokia isn’t married to Roman’s dad. Funniest line in the series for me was Curran commenting to Kate “did you know they were married? And crazy?” And Roman responding with “their not. Married that is.”
LauraKC says
Was the poll also on Facebook? That was a huge number of responses.
Moderator R says
The poll ran only on the blog ????, but the blog has a lot more visitors than people realise!
Andrea says
And I imagine there are folks like myself that could not choose one, so did not participate. Too many choices.
mz says
And that is good, because I have never facebooked. Thank you.
Anne says
FWIW… It isn’t that I’m not interested in more Kinsman — I am!! It’s just been a long while since I visited with that world, so the Julie and Hugh worlds are more prominent in my mind and so I’m more “anxious” to know what comes next for them. Now if you’d put the poll out *after* Fated Blades came out…. Who know! LOL š
Kim S says
There were no bad choices. Only āIām salivating a bit more about this oneā choices.
MerryB says
I wondered about whether the poll would change after Fated Blades come out, too. I chose something else, in place of “all of the above and anything else that strikes your fancy”.
I adore “Of Swine And Roses”, too.
Amanda P says
Definitely Romanā¤ in something other ????
SandyH says
I’ll take anything you write for a win. It was hard voting. I am listing to the first Hugh book as my walks and I am ready to know what happens next but I have lots of patience.
Judy E Schultheis says
I see the point of not having included an “All of the Above” option now.
I hope you have a lot of fun with the short story.
Damaris Zehner says
Enjoy! Where will the short story appear? Will we be able to read it here? It’s always nice to have something to look forward to!
Beth says
anything Hidden Legacy – wouldn’t mind more “downstream” Rogan and Nevada with offspring… but definitely Arabella
R Coots says
Yes!
EarlineM says
Love this! I just listened to Magic Slays where Roman gets introduced. He and his family crack me up! Remember, if you’re together, you have to put up with his family. ????????
Siobhan says
āYes, we are aware that Dina + Maud = 34%ā
And here I was noticing that Julie + Hugh = 49%. Kate Daniels World FTW!
Did you find it interesting that the top 4 were from your self-published series? As I said on the other thread, HL is my favorite, but Iāve been waiting longer for Hugh.
I think it kicks butt that your self-published stuff is winning over the contract work. Not that theyāre not all excellent. As I ALSO said in the other thread, how were we supposed to pick ONE?
Ioanna says
My thoughts exactly 49%! Julie with some Hugh in, now that would be awesome!
Susan says
YES! Just give Hugh a bit part I. Blood Heir????
Merran says
I was actually hoping for some Julie in Iron Covenant ā¦ not that āPUT DOWN THAT COW!āisnāt one of the best scenes in Blood Heir, but we do have some unanswered questions about Hugh and Julieās relationship from Magic Triumphs. She clearly knows where he is and takes off to get him from Kingās Row and comes back with custom-made armour. Thereās a story there!
Siobhan says
EXACTLY!
Ange in Australia says
I almost chose the Hugh option simply to have the āPUT DOWN THAT COWā moment explained or given context. ????
I also would have chosen the āwhatever your decide to write nextā as an option but in the end Julie and Blood Heir won out, especially after the snippet about Kate knowing that Aurora was Julie. ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
Maria M. OToole says
I would also like an explanation of the “you will eat the whole chicken” discussion…
H says
I chose innkeeper- Sean and Dina before I saw Maud also listed. I am glad the 34% is realized because Who is Sebastian North AND What did Klaus say to Maud about EVERYTHING! I need to know both and recognize that just will not happen at this time because that is two stories and I know while BDH would be happy that is a lot aka unreasonable to ask of IA. Whatever is written I am grateful and know I will love it because I always do.
Mar says
Thank You for sharing yourselves and your wonderful stories.
My life is a better place to be because of You.
Heart Hugs
Kathy says
I think because we know they have their HEA that people are interested the how wither Hugh or Julie get to their HEA
ML says
Love this picture. Mod R, your hair is much prettier than I had realized.
mz says
+1. And is that a one-piece bathing suit? I hear theyāre very āinā nowadays.
Zirraella says
Oooh, I did not even think of Roman as he was not on the list!
Julie says
Innkeeper Blade. I want to find out what Dina and Mauds brother wants with Maud.
Mimi says
I want to find out how Arlanās meeting with Maudās former in-laws goesā¦
Susie Q. says
+10!????
Kkelly says
Thank you so much for the hard work!!
I really appreciate you sharing bits of your daily life with us. Because of you, I knew what to do last night when my dog got skunked
Stacey Brown says
HAHAHA!
I’m so sorry your dog got skunked, but your comment is AMAZING!
Nina says
+1 š
Heather says
Can you work on all of them? How can I pick a favorite???
Itās like picking a favorite kid!
Patricia Schlorke says
I had to read that little gem twice before I caught on that it was Kate’s Roman. ????
Well…we do see him out of his Eeyore pjs, unless he wears them under his robe. ????????????
Mod R such public displays of affection! The press can’t leave you 2 alone. ????????
Amy McDonald says
I love the huge response to the poll. Very impressive numbers!! I voted and I’m glad that most of the BDH wants more Julie or Hugh. I want more Hugh as there is so much I want to know about Alara ????!! But I love Julie just as much, ok who am I kidding I will read anything you guys write and will love it!! But so many burning questions, the life of the BDH ????!!! Thank you both for being so amazing!!!
Amanda says
First off, I will gratefully read any and everything you guys write! Looking forward to the new short story. I voted for Julie because after all the years and books including her in the KD universe, I’d love to see her get a HEA or just more time in her storyline. However, the meme has definitely also swung me in the direction of a Roman book and he will now ever be pictured in my mind as Jason Momoa!
C H M says
So where is this Poll that is still open? I’m only reading the Hidden Legacy series… so you know my vote if I’m shown where to submit it!
Moderator R says
The poll is in the previous blog post ???? https://ilona-andrews.com/2021/what-do-you-want/
Henry King says
Since Klaus is not supposed to go the Earth of Innkeeper during his 20 year tour of duty, I believe Maude can host a sibling reunion. Dina and Sean could be away from the Inn for a couple of days. Of course someone my recognize Sean.
Momo says
I love how you already included that you can add up the innkeeper score. š
You really understand the BDH. Makes me chuckle
Eithne says
Sigh….. There are no easy choices here but if pressed, and I mean tofu pressed!!!!…. Then I guess I would put Julie before Arabella …. But you can’t tell her that!!! ????
Michele G says
+1 lol
Catlover says
Off topic here. I was surfing Fantastic Fiction new releases last night. Anyone here read Jennifer Crusie? She and Bob Mayer Co-wrote” Agnes and the Hitman”. I discovered Bob is releasing a followup this month which reminded me I hadn’t checked her website for a long time. She writes very slowly, so I went in and checked out her Works in Progress section. I had a great time so if you’d like a giggle or two and a taste of her writing and some of the crocheting projects tied into her writing look her up. Who knew there are patterns for crocheting really pretty fish.
njb says
I do! and like you, I’ve not checked in with her website in a long time. Various of her audiobooks are on my repeat regularly list, they are so dang funny and/or heartwarming. Thanks for the heads up!
Susie Q. says
I love her! I will have Ave to check her website.
Georgie says
I realize this is not a vote, but I did want to put in my two cents for whatever it is YāALL most want to write. You sounded pretty burnt out over that last book. Eventually, you will have to hit them all. But you deserve and maybe NEED to do next the one that gets your motors running. I love them all, and will treasure whichever one you decide upon.
DianaInCa says
This sounds like a great idea! Personally it was hard to vote because I enjoy your writing style and will read everything you guys publish. So write what you two feel like writing.
Hillary Cresswell says
I voted for Julie but really want Maude too! Actually, both Innkeepers and Hugh. Grossly unfair to pick just one. ????
Patrice says
Yay for taking a break and care of yourselves. That fires up the creativity, too. I would also love to see more about Dali because I love her and a nearsighted, shape shifting, magic-using, mystical tiger just makes me giggle and think uh oh. š Right before I think Yeahhh go Dali! š
Olga says
Honestly, the poll was probably one of the hardest polls iāve ever taken ????
Maria R. says
I was fine with my stab at a selection style of voting. I want all, in any order, just as long as they exist, in any order, no rush, Iāve few more decades kicking around on earth ????
Lol, the meme of Mod R and Roman, who knew he was a beach type of person. Bet they had a few bridges to walk over to access said beach. Where did he place that bird ???? staff?
Have a fun week House Andrews.
njb says
love the meme! and yes, I didn’t think of Roman, but hopefully he shows up again somewhere.
Enjoy your easier week! before all the edits come back, eh?
Lynn Thompson says
Bwah ha ha ha. Thank you mod R and Ilona Andrews for the laugh today. Itās been a Monday on a Monday.
Enjoy your fun short story and the Fall weather.
A ha ha. The local elite golf community that I occasionally cut thru to look at pandemic housing being built on backside ofā¦made me laugh today. The HOA decreed no Military mailbox flags last year. (No Semper Fi or Go Army mailbox flags.). Apparently the Halloween flags exceeded criteria this year. So HOA maintenance guys were out removing ALL seasonal flags today. Apparently having a Turkey thanksgiving flag is a No no to those in power. I expect next meeting of HOA is going to be interesting.
Sam says
Fun short story??!! OMG!!
And that meme is hilarious! Mod R looks just like how I imagined her. š
Paula says
Rogan pov…more please.
Ally says
Well, now I am curious what the “fun short story” is…
Whichever book wins, I’ll be happy. I mean, I will have one quick “Waaaah!! No!” moment if the one I chose doesn’t win. But I promise I will then kick into high-gear anticipation mode for whatever one you two decide to write š
Sara B. says
Thinking. While I would love to hear more about Roman, I was thinking more about short story or novella … more of a slice of his life. A book requires such an emotional journey for the lead character(s), not sure how I feel about having something horrible (more horrible) happen to Roman, breaking him. He has such a rough job as it is (always negotiating and steering his god to smaller horrors).
But yes, I would love to hear more about him, as well as everybody in Atlanta.
Was it ever decided which “Wilmington” Kate and Curran are now living? City in North Carolina, two states away, but almost due east of Atlanta? Or Wilmington Island, GA, by Savannah (and near Kate’s old house?)?
Judy Schultheis says
I’d vote the one in Georgia, just on the notion that Cutting Edge Investigations already has a business license in Georgia.
Maria M. OToole says
Fan source only here, but I think it’s North Carolina, because in Blood Heir Conlan is in school there; they moved up there to be closer to him. I’d bet Curran is running a branch of the Atlanta Merc’s Guild …and Kate has a satellite office of Cutting Edge. I can’t see either of them just being beach bums, despite Barabas’s comment!
Gaƫlle from France says
OMG ???????????????? Thank you for the laugh !!! How we all adore Roman !!
Hum, Hugh + Julie : 49 % ā¦. just sayingā¦ (itās for fun, I love Sean and Dina)
And very happy and excited to hear about the Ā«Ā fun short storyĀ Ā», everything by you is wonderful !
Delilah says
I voted for Arabella, but all the books are amazing.
After thinking further about it Iād love another 10 book series with a leading protagonist in a whole new world. There was nothing better than catching up with Kate every year or so, and what new challenges she faced, see how she evolved over each book. Since the last book came out, Iāll do a reread of the whole series in one go and itās just simply the best story.
Amber says
I think that pic has been photoshopped…. she’d never be seen with the likes of him!
Dandufrenger says
I couldnāt vote in the last blog entry (no vote button), and the vote button is not active in this entry. Iād like to vote.
Moderator R says
Hey Dandufrenger,
The Vote button is at the bottom of the options here https://ilona-andrews.com/2021/what-do-you-want/ , unless you have already voted :). It does not recognise repeated attempts.
Dandufrenger says
When I first read the previous blog entry, there was no vote button, so I did not get a chance to vote. For some reason it was never presented to me.
Ah, well, the BDH is doing a great job of voting, so I go with the flow. Any story from House Andrews will be great.
Dandufrenger says
I just thought of something. My wife was able to vote. We use different computers, but does your algorithm use IP address or something like that?
Moderator R says
Indeed. I hope thereās spousal agreement!
Dianne says
I love them all. I would go (a little differently than current votes) #1 Iron Covenant, #2 Hidden Legacy (Arabella #1), either Innkeeper, Kinsmen and my last choice is Blood Heir although that would be great also! If you didn’t write such interesting books the choice wouldn’t be so difficult! Let your brains rest and it will be clear as to what you want to write about.
Dave says
Whatever makes you happy. Happy writer, better faster books.
Symcoxkd says
I think a lot of the reason why the Hidden legacy numbers were low is because we understood how much trouble you were having with the last Catalina book and we don’t want you to be so stressed out again.
Jean says
Yay for some time to write a fun short story!! Yay for an easy week!! Maybe play some of your favorite computer games?! Popcorn and a favorite movie!!
(My “smash-o-gram” came back negative, after missing last year due to covid, so I might have an excess of exclamation points today!!!)
Wendy Morrey says
Haha the picture!! Iām rolling on the ground laughing!!
Pat graham says
I still want some happy short stories about the characters in the Kate Daniels world. Block parties, sniping over carnivorous flowers, babies, childrenās parties, the milkman, anything light hearted with the people we like in the Kate Daniels stories. I need some happy. Pat
Bill G says
I don’t understand how anyone could say that was fake! Jealous, indeed!
Emma C says
I think you’ll find that picture is of me! Tsk.
(I see I have found my people ????)
Jennifer says
Honestly, Iād love any of those books!
AP says
Mod R, you have excellent taste! ????
It was fun to check in on the voting now and then to watch the āraceā.
TYIA for the fun short story – whatever it is, Iām sure itāll be great!
Chelley Roberts says
You broke my brain with Momoa as a stand in for Roman. I kept picturing him as Tom Hiddleston or a slightly shorter (and less buff) Adam Driver.
Kimberly au Telemanus says
Love Adam Driver as Roman! Thereās just something about AD!
Nicole says
Doh!!! ROMAN!!! Yes! That would be epic! #NeedToChangeMyVote
Beverly Hill says
I am dying to find out what happened to Dina & Maudās parents, and would love to read about Klausā adventures. Also Klaus plus Camarine Brothers! I love all of the Andrews Canon, but the burning questions about what happens next just seem most compelling in the Innkeeper series. So many mysteriesā¦.
Scott D Patlin says
So, predictably, the BDH loves all of the things and wants all of the things. Perhaps you should give us the precious in whatever order best preserves your sanity? š
Kimberly au Telemanus says
I read the blog title as āThe Pool and other Funniesā then after finishing the blog, preceded to re-read it several more times looking for the content about the āPoolā????āāļø
So glad Dana+Maude got the most votes! I NEED more Innkeeperā¤ļø
Lynene says
I am always happy to read whatever you care to write. My only hope is that you enjoy writing as much as I enjoy reading your books. Thank you.
MariaZ says
Its too bad the BDH can’t clone House Andrews so we could get twice the number of books.
Hugh, Roman, drool.
Sherri says
Okay, how about Din & Sean + Maude + Helen and revenge on those sniveling schmuck from House Ervan?
Sherri says
Rats! Dina – I meant Dina.
Marianne says
Lol, bu are you aware that Julie + Hugh = 49 ????????
Heather says
Wondering if any of you watch Legacies https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8103070/ In the last show Hope creates and wields a Blood Sword.
Had such Kate Daniels feels! Loved that series. I donāt know if Blood Swords / Weapons / Armor are common legends, KD is where I first heard of such an idea and itās captivating.
Canāt wait for the next KD World Book!
Laura says
Ooh, funny short story! That sounds like exactly what I need more of in my life.
DianaInCa says
Write what you feel like writing. Wouldnāt mind a book of short stories either. Will buy what you publish
Brooke J Frazier8 says
I have been trying to find a link to the artist that does alot of your artwork. I know they did several Katie daniels pieces and a Baylor piece of the sisters. she also has done artwork for DMZ for Rachel Aaron. I know the link is in a blog post I can’t find it. can you help me find it please, oh wonderful Mods and Authors.

Kimberly au Telemanus says
Can someone remind me in which work Roman wears Eeyore PJs? Iām an Innkeeper expert, but all of Kate Daniels seems to run together in my head, despite my love for it.
Moderator R says
That beloved sartorial choice appears in Gunmetal Magic, Andreaās book (KD 5.5):
āA second Ammit thundered down the street towards us, a huge black horse following it. Roman dismounted next to us, his staff in his hand. He wore a tank top and black pajama pants with an Eeyore pattern.
āI have had it with this shitā he announced.ā

Ann M says
Iron Covenant, please! I am not above begging. Thank you.
Stacey Johnson says
Sooo if Innkeeper world can be added up does that mean Kate Daniels world can too ????
Donna says
I would have voted for all of the above if it had been a choice.
Hilary says
Bursting at the seams wanting a new Julie because there seems SO MUCH unfinished, but honestly, any and all of the above sound like great reads!!!!
Sleepy says
The poll was interesting to see as a reader too? And…brb making a prayer circle for IC#2 ????
Susan Epps says
I’m not sure why the poll is needed because it’s apparent Blood Heir and Iron is wanted but I will take anything!
Lisa says
My third place or maybe first place vote is – whatever is fun for you to write that makes you want to sit down and type. Feel free to go haring off chasing ideas that excite you as well as continuing series we love. I’m confident we’ll enjoy and buy whatever you write!
Kathi Moran says
Lol I thought I was crazy yesterday when I opened this and expected info about a pool incidentā¦ then I noticed there was a misspell on the FB link. Not pointing out a silly mistake so much as relieved that Iām not going crazy! Ultimately as a proud member o the BDH, I will read whatever you get written and put out there for us to consume, no complaintsā¦
Michael Hall says
14,305 votes! BDH strikes again! I think that 14,000 could qualify as a “horde”Thank you for asking for our opinion. Glad that it helped. ????ā¤????
Barbara Swanson says
hmmm…I am going to buy, read and be happy with whatever is next.
Saying that, if people are combining Maud + Dina (both Innkeeper series), then Julie + Hugh is also added together (Both KD universe)?
I’m just happy to get a book. Any book/short story, etc, that you all write.
Stefanie says
I would love to read a Roman story. But on the other hand there are a few storylines still unfinished that I would love to know how they turn out as well (what happened to Dina’s parents? How will Maud and Helen fare in House Krahr? How will Hugh and Elara arrange themselves with each other? What will happen with Julie? What happened to Derek?)
I don’t know if my heart can take another open arc where I am dying to know what will happen ????
PĆ©ter Fekete says
Julie + Hugh = 49% Just saying????
Liz says
Such a hard choice to make as it’s all fantastic. I ended up closing my eyes and stabbing at the screen :). Have a great mini-break and I hope you just choose to write whatever makes you happy.
Cinders says
Just know, I want all of your stories. I voted for Arabella just because it would make me laugh and love her more.
Jacqueline says
I’m not jealous. Just don’t want you to wear yourself out. I’ll take care of the sunscreen for you.
David says
Just curious where you got the name of Red Deer from for your innkeeper series , living 30 minutes away from the only one that I ( and google apparently ) know exists wanted to know if just a name that came to you or you knew the other actually existed ( with a Costco ????)
Ela says
Do you remember the hate Julie kept getting from some people in the fandom for things that weren’t even her fault? And now her new series is on the top of the poll! Such satisfaction for us Julie fans <3.
I voted for her series as well, I yearn to see her and Derek sort their shit out. But I definitely need Hugh #2 as well, to see how his relationship with Elara and his kinship with Julie develops before we meet him in Magic Triumphs.
I think that an Innkeeper crossover with both Maud and Dina (and maybe Klaus, so we get to know him) would solve this dilemma for the BDH :). For me personally, Dina is more interesting as a heroine than Maud, probably because she is very much not a fighter, she is a mediator and peacemaker, which is unusual for the FL.
Arabella is wonderful and I am looking forward to her adventures, whenever you will feel like writing them :).
AND BIG YES FOR ROMAN'S NOVEL/NOVELLA!
If I had to choose a spin-off work for any 1 side character from any IA's series, he would definitely be my top choice. (followed probably by Cornelius, Augustin, Runa/Bern, Christopher/Barabas and Erra)
Cassandra says
So, I voted for Innkeeper but I gotta say, I’d read anything you guys decide you want to write. For me the itch is currently Hidden Legacy or Innkeeper and since we’re getting the next HL very soon (from the looks of it) I can wait on Arabella for a little while longer. I’m also assuming that storylines will get wrapped up a little bit which means I’ll have some closure and can also wait for a new HL more easily. Innkeeper is in the middle of all the interesting bits and I don’t know what I want to see first but basically I want to see… yes!
I gotta say though guys. If you aren’t feeling what the polls suggest people want most first, I would hope that you write what you want to write. I don’t think any of us want you to force yourselves to write something you’re not vibing with. First, we really want you to take care of yourselves but second (more selfishly) we know that if you force yourself to write something you’re not feeling, we’ll have to wait much longer for new content on anything. So write away. Write whatever your hearts desire and we’ll read it and love it either way.
Amanda Mcgee says
I would read anything you put out. I canāt wait for any of the projects youāre floating on this list. It was so hard to just pick one!
Clarissa says
Oh this hqs got to be the hardest poll that I have encountered. I love all the amazing stories brought to life by the two of you but there are three story lines I want to read the most. I have been looking forward to the new Hugh book since it was announced that another one was in the works but at the moment it is at a happy pause point, so I can wait a while longer. However, the Blood Heir storyline is up in the air and I can’t wait to see the mating shenanigans. But to top it all is Hidden Legacy from Arabella view. I was absolutely fascinated with the description of her magic, how her fear is not for herself but for her family, and her insight into the dynamics of her family in the story, The Cool Aunt. She would be my top pick for the next book I would love to get my hands on.
nm says
I’m sure this is a newbie question but…don’t HA have a preference for which book they want to write next? I know they held off on some books during the pandemic, but I’m surprised inspiration or motivation for one storyline over the other isn’t the deciding factor once publishers are off the table. But I know nothing, I’m not a writer.
(Since HA romance usually culminates in the second books, I prefer Blood Heir 2 or Iron Covenant 2. I love Hidden Legacy romances, but Arabella’s romance pay-off is likely two books away and I’m a junkie that wants my hit now, lol. Innkeeper feels less romance-heavy to me.)
Moderator R says
Hey nm,
As the blog post with the poll stated, House Andrews “canāt guarantee that we will decide to work on the book you choose, but we will take your opinions into consideration.”. Inspiration is ofc the main driving force, but the BDH is very vocal and IA decided to consult vox populi š
Arlenys says
Dear Ilona
Blood heir 26%
Iron covenant 23%
=49%
They are both in the same universe ????
Keep it in mind please
Carolyn says
Fun, fun. Just finishing a reread of Kate Daniel’s series and starting a reread of Julie’s book. Relax, rejuvenate, refresh and have some fun!

I just finished a re-listen of the Kate series (main books) plus Hugh’s book and Julie’s book. Now I want to change my vote from Hugh2 to Julie2. Lots of untugged threads in Julie1 that I want to see developed. And I’m eager for more Julie and Derek.
