Thank you for a wonderful release day, guys. Gordon and I enjoyed hanging out with you on Zoom (recording here).
We are both worn out. We’ve answered a lot of questions, wrote articles, answered about a million admin emails from both publishers, and dealt with life issues and a death of an old, very loved pet.
We also need to give Mod R a much deserved break. She was bombarded with comments and emails for weeks now, and BDH is a lot. Moderating is very draining. None of our moderators, even the ones related to us, have lasted longer than 6 months, and we want to make sure that Mod R has a chance to recuperate.
Today we have an AMA on Reddit, and after that we’re going to take a break and concentrate on writing. You won’t see us until this Friday, when we will hopefully deliver the next chapter of the Innkeeper to you.
The comments on the site will be globally off starting on Tuesday until Friday. On Friday, the comments will be turned back on if the Innkeeper chapter is posted.
I’m sorry for your loss. The last time you mentioned your pets, it sounded like you were expecting it, but it’s still hard.
Rest, relax. I do hope for a new installment of Sweep of the Heart, but rest for you folks is more important.
So sorry for your loss!! I hope your break allows you to focus on what you need to.
Thanks for being not only amazing authors, but great with communicating with your fans. And thanks to Mod R for keeping the BDH in line and facilitating extra goodies for us. All of you are truly appreciated! Enjoy your break, you know the BDH will be here when you get back. 😉
My sincerest condolences. I have an old pet whose every day I am cherishing now. I hope that it was a peaceful passing and that you can take some time for yourselves this week.
Thank you for sharing the Q&A recording – was really awesome to listen to after now having read Ruby Fever twice through! (I’ve been battling Covid most of the month and have had a lot of time reading on the couch)
Enjoy your time off too Mod R, you are amazing!! I appreciate all of you.
So sorry for the loss of your beloved fur baby. They do get wedged in deep in our hearts, don’t they?
I want to say thank you to House Andrews for having such a positive space here on your blog. You set boundaries and take care of yourselves as you should but you are so kind to the BDH. And Mod R you are awesome.
Hope this week is filled with calm and rest.
Sorry about your pet. Hope your week is stress free and fruitful.
Also huge cudo’s to ModR.
Losing a pet is very hard. I am sorry for your loss. I hope you all have a restful week ahead. Take care!
Himouto! Umaru-chan – is such a cute anime!!! It’s one of my favorites!
I’m so sorry for your family’s loss.
Losing a beloved pet is so hard but in the middle of a double release just sounds. . . I don’t have words. I’m hoping you can find some time and space to process it all and find comfort.
Here’s a question for the collective wisdom of the BDH if Mod R is on break. (Totally deserved, loved the zoom parties). I’m totally unfamiliar with reddit.
I tried to read the Reddit thread online but is it only available on the app? I don’t have space for the app.
Anyone else able to just read it on a web browser and if so how?
You may have to create an account, for some reason it got tagged Mature content- I can read it on my desktop browser where I’m logged in, but my phone browser doesn’t like it. Here for the link again just in case https://www.reddit.com/r/RomanceBooks/comments/x0rxbb/ama_with_gordon_and_ilona_andrews/
I’m so sorry for your loss, Ilona and Gordon! That’s rough, on top of a personally fulfilling but exhausting time.
I hope all of you, and Mod R, have a peaceful recuperation!
Your blog has given us peeks into how much you love & care for the furry members of your household. So sorry for your loss. Hope you & Mod R get plenty of rest after such a hectic week.
You’re splendid. We love you all. Sending you all the rest vibes ever.
Mod R is the Sean of moderators. Very cool.
I hope you all have time to rest and recharge. We’ll try to keep our shenanigans to a minimum.
Sorry about your beloved pet.
Mines at the vet today getting operated on and its very traumatic to be working from home and look up and not see him there looking at me.
I told people i was emotionally compromised today and had skype marked as away. So most people left me alone.
Hope everyone has a nice break and recuperates.
Thank you for sharing and transcribing the Ruby Fever Spoilerific Q&A.
Really Appreciated, I’m going to sit and read/watch it while waiting for the Vet to ring or my husband to get home.
Thanks
And Mod R, you look lovely
Don’t let the downers (or self downers) get you
I’m not down at all ????. Good luck with the pet health issues!
Deepest sympathies for your beloved pet and family member.
And also echoing all of the lo e towards Mod R- definitely don’t want her to burn out.
See you all when we see you after hopefully getting the time and space your need from the hubbub.

Ummm, I have a fan art pic I did I would like to share. How do I go about it?
So sorry for your loss.
I’m sorry to hear about your pet. Prayers sent your way. You have given us a lot. Take as LONG as you need to recuperate. As much as I live innkeeper your health comes first so don’t push to hard ????
