Hi BDH,
Mod R here with some light housework whilst the cats are away- just kidding, Tuna is always watching!
If you missed yesterday’s Q&A with Grace Draven you can watch it here – lots of yummy food conversations, Tuna photobombs and announcements! I will let you be surprised by Ilona and Gordon as is only right but of course, we will have official news and details about everything coming soon on the blog.
Since so many exciting things are happening, here is a reminder of House Andrews’ various social media presence- Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest.
Can you hear that?
It’s the noise of Ruby Fever tiptoeing closer and closer- only 26 days left! There is a handy dandy fancy countdown on the home page. There is also another front page banner coming soon…I really can’t stop myself teasing you.
If, like me, you are a fan of torture, you can go over to the iBooks app and read an extended sample of Ruby Fever ahead of time. It contains the prologue (Baylor compound scene is back for everyone yearning for it!), the entire first chapter and a bit of Chapter 2.) The HarperCollins sample is back too- it’s slightly shorter, hope everyone can see it this time!
I declare Baylor season officially open!
This posts’ comment section will be a mini spoiler thread so everyone can go wild with speculation- beware if you don’t want to see any Ruby Fever content. Oh, and almost forgot: if you want to preorder a signed copy of Ruby Fever you can do so from Blue Willow bookstore.

I almost hate new books coming out. I buy it and read it in a couple of hours. Then I have to wait months for the next one, when i was down to only days a week ago. 🙁
Laura says
Torture is right. I read the Prologue, Chapter 1 and the brief glimpse of Chapter 2, which just made the anticipation worse and has me actually counting the days on the calendar until release.
Ascension says
Esta muy interesante, gracias

Howdy,
I know I saw blog post up to Chapter 20 just last week. But the latest post of 7/27 no longer has those links. Are they being redrafted or is something else going on? I was rereading the previous chapters and was dismayed to no longer see the others.
Moderator R says
Hi Shun, I’m not entirely sure what you are talking about?
Chapter 20 of the new Innkeeper? The most recent post of that is here, Chapter 21 https://ilona-andrews.com/2022/chapter-21-part-1/
You can find all the chapters of Sweep of the Heart (from 1 to 21) here https://ilona-andrews.com/sweep-of-the-heart/ or following the link from the home page.
If you mean Ruby Fever, which this post is about, then there was never a sample that went to Chapter 20, that would be most of the book!
Paulina says
Just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work on both this series and the Hidden Legacy series, especially with everything else you have going on. You’re so generous to your readers. I can’t wait to get Ruby Fever!
Robin Bairley says
Thank you for all the amazing books in this series. Very much looking forward to this next one.
