Happy Monday, BDH!
A couple of quick updates to start the week.
First, for everyone asking about purchasing the commissioned This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me artwork:
If you are looking for prints of the character art, Helena Elias’ store is open and she has a special Ilona Andrews page.
Luisa Preissler announced that her store will soon be carrying character art cards, and she showed the proofs on Instagram yesterday.
If you’d like to know when they go on sale, please sign up for Luisa’s newsletter here.
Candice Slater is also currently working through options for the Kair Toren art, which you can admire here.
If you want prints and cards and probably calendars, please buy them from the artists directly. The Ilona Andrews merch store will focus instead on book tie-in items, such as vellum inserts meant to go into the hardcover, bookmarks, and similar goodies.
And speaking of goodies, here is the Zoom recording from Saturday, where Ilona and Gordon answered your questions about This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me.
If you would like to use the transcript function on YouTube, click on the video description or the three-dot menu, and select Show transcript.
Thank you all for the incredible enthusiasm, the thoughtful questions, and the general release-week chaos. The BDH has been in magnificent form.
Morning Mod R!
First of the morning! 🙂
I’ve never been first! Now I need to buy a lottery ticket!
thanks for the video. tech challenged here. can’t see either the three dots and when i click on title/description am not getting transcript option. 🙁
You have to watch it on YouTube, not here, for the YouTube features.
The art is so beautiful!
Ive been going back and forth between ebook and audio just finished 2nd read.. I didnt notice there’s no exact physical description of Maggie.
huh.
she says, “she’s pretty”
which can be anybody’s perception of “pretty” because Maggie is any of us 😉
When Maggie wakes up in the Garden, she sees herself in the mirror and realizes she isn’t inhabiting someone else’s body. There’s a description there, although it might not be very detailed.
Author Lords admitted they might have written the books Maggie was reading?! I will buy it! Gimmeeeeeee!!!!!
thank you fornthe zoom!
where/when will Solentine’s POV The Homecoming be available?
Thank you for all your hard work, Mod R and House Andrews!
Thanks for the quick work Mod R.
I enjoyed the zoom and the little delay just increased the anticipation lol
Finally the Zoom I have been dying for @.@ love Maggie and hate w*iting for Number 2
I agree with Gordon. Spoilers are the best!
The title of this post “Art & Zoomies” is making me picture Ilona and Gordon running in circles madly through their living room (perhaps with their pets too?) because they have The Zoomies
haha
nice word, Mod R
Thanks for the links for the artwork. I really enjoyed the zoom call Saturday. Thanks Mod R and House Andrews!
Thank you for the Zoom session! It was great!
Also thanks Gordon to trying so hard to give us spoilers while Ilona was trying to shut them down. 😂
Thank you Ilona, Gordon & ModR, great Zoom session as always! I love your enthusiasm and we always learn so much (even without explicit spoilers 😉).
Best of luck with your writing!
Thank you! Will have to watch (or more likely read) later as it’s adulting time.
Thanks loved the session. And so cute that Everard is moved by Maggie’s care for him 🙂
…..but a year till #2….my sanity might not survive a 100 rereads while wa*ting. Hope there will be snippets.
What about this compendium book?
Thank you for this. I am hard of hearing; while I attended the Zoom call, I was very excited by the Zoom chat and the occasion, so I did not hear everything. With the recording, I can go back over the parts I missed. [Happy dance]
Thank you, Ilona & Gordon, for the insight into Book1. I am, of course, looking forward to book2 chalantly. “I like big books and I cannot lie”
Absolutely made my year.
Glad to know who was in the noose at the cliffhanger of the original book 2!! My mind was all over the place. And good to know Maggie is changing the future and it’s not all inevitable…
