Before I tell you this story, I will say that everything ends happily. Sookie is our elderly Ye Olde English Bulldogge, otherwise knows as the orc dog. She is beauty, she is grace, how can you not love that face? She is going on 13 years old. Her hips and her knees have arthritis. She

Wednesday, Thursday, Hughday… Chapter 5: Part 1
Elara bent over the map, spread over the table. The herb patch… The berry bushes… The maples on the north side… A presence tugged on her. She raised her head. Hugh stood in the doorway. Alive. Uninjured. She let out a mental breath and straightened. “You’re back.” “I am.” His voice held no bravado. He

All the Questions
Mod R presented me with a list of questions. Let us get to it. When will the preorder be availlable? We don’t know. Well, that was easy. The usual MO is to wait until the cover is done because people tend to preorder in higher numbers once the cover is up. Maybe having the cover

The Iron and Magic Trivia Quiz
After a weekend of excitement and prayers for p*tience to last us until the release of This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me, it’s time to return to our Iron Dogs. Since House Andrews gifted us with chapters from the first draft of Hugh 2, I thought we should test our memory of where it all

The Candle Is Lit…
A few days ago, when the edits for This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me just landed in our inboxes, I made this candle with the idea that once this, final content edit was done, I would ceremoniously light it. In all fairness, the candle looked prettier in my head, but I don’t normally make candles.

Best of the Best poll – Sidekick Stars edition
We’re all sick of the villains, morally gray characters and the bad things we have to hear about constantly. It’s time to switch things around and celebrate the best of the best supporting characters — they may not be the main protagonists, but they absolutely make every scene better just by existing. They’re the ride-or-dies,

Oh no, not the Hughday?
There might not be a Hughday next week. We have to push through on the editing. But meanwhile we offer extra today. Bucky clopped down the road, stamping his hooves into the old asphalt with cheerful abandon. The day was bright and lovely. A clear blue sky, flooded with crystalline sunshine and feathered with white clouds,

Busy, busy
House Andrews are deep in the editing cave for Maggie. How deep? They shared an update yesterday on Facebook: A lot of work, but of course what we take from it is a very chalant OMG OMG OVER EIGHT HUNDRED PAGEEEEES! WE SHALL DEVOUR! No? Just me? Hehe. But that takes a lot of effort.

Hugh and the Distressing Lack of Videos
It’s Reader Question Monday. We might have to do a Reader Question Wednesday as well, as we received many questions about Amazon and digital ownership. You mentioned in the introduction that you usually publish a scene but this time would publish a full chapter. It made me wonder if, when planning a book, you explicitly

It’s Hughday Again! Chapter 3
Thank you for kind comments and support this week. Usually we post scene by scene, but today we will do the whole chapter. Hugh stepped out of the woods and started up the road to Baile. The old castle rose atop the low hill like some ancient fort built by a Norman knight intent on
