Y’all have a safe trip !
Hope your nails look fabulous!!!
I agree!
(3 days, 14 hours… thank G I stopped biting my nails a long time ago).
Yeah, me too…but if there was EVER a reason for a relapse!
My Saturday cruise to local clueless chain bookstore was fruitful… I don’t normally peruse the romance section but they had 3 purple covered beauties with tornadoes on the cover hiding on the shelves there.
Me too!
Thanks for the head’s up!!! I never thought I’d be buying from a brick and mortar super chain bookstore, but I will if it means reading on the weekend instead of on a Tuesday late into the evening!
That’s what I found at my local bookstore on Saturday too. Did an internal happy dance and grabbed a copy really fast. They were hiding in plain sight right beside White Hot.
Is there any chance you’ll have Wildfire for sale at Comic Con?
Have fun!
Got my ticket and ready to meet you both Sunday. Whoo hoo!!!
Have fun!
I see you got out of the time loop at the after-panel signing.
One of these days I’m going to go out to Comicon. Do you go every year? I can’t remember if you mentioned it last year.
Good luck! Safe travels and I hope you have some fun!
What she says! Absolutely!!
Find a pool and some fruity, girly drinks with little umbrellas and bask for a bit as well!
I second this. Have some R&R time by a pool in the sun to relax a bit. You will need it with your tour traveling.
Be safe and have fun!
Walking on the beach is a good way to get R&R too. That’s provided Ilona and Gordon don’t get mobbed with fans in California. 😀
Sadly, I wasn’t able to get Comiccon tix this year, despite trying twice. Worst thing is, since I didn’t get tickets this year, I will only have one chance next year, so my odds of attending again have dropped. Oh, well – hopefully you will enjoy it – it’s a wild time.
Sending my kids to get me a book. they live about 10 minutes from the Ripped Bodice. I will already have the digital copy by the time it gets to me but need one on my shelf.
Safe trip, and have a blast!
Oh wow! What an awesome idea!!!
Safe journey guys ?
Would love to be at either venue but live on the wrong side of the pond! ??????
For those who asked me to reply when I got it. Yes, I did get Wildfire audio. Amazon messed up and shipped some a week early. I listened to it otw to work today and will probably stay up all night to finish it. 10 CD’s, 9 hours.
You are so lucky!!
I know, this is my good luck for the next year, but I will take it. 🙂
The B&N by me had it on the shelf in print last night. I finished it this morning 🙂
SOOOO good!
It’s awesome isn’t it? 🙂
Amazing, really needs to be a longer series. The surrounding characters have so much potential!
… I agree, but I can’t really say anything else without risking giving away spoilers.
IMO everyone should go visit their local bookstores and check the shelves. A couple of others have found books already out for sale.
🙁 – i live overseas in a developing country with no english book stores 😕 … so two more days wait till the down load starts – I keep checking my kindle but I guess those aren’t going to be released early, what ever the bookshops do.
I got mine on Sunday evening late at my local bkstore, got 1/2 through and will hopefully finish it tonight – OMG LOVE LOVE LOVE
It was SOOOOOO great! I love it! I can’t decide if I’d rather have them self pub so I get the next one sooner OR Avon to pick it up so there will be more than one!
I too am defeated by geography ( the Pacific Ocean) from attending either event and hope it all goes well. I especially hope our favourite Authorlords enjoy the trip as much as those members of the book devouring horde who are able to attend the book signings will. Maybe Comicon will post video of the panel for the rest of us to see. The countdown till Tuesday 25th is in the single digits and falling fast!!! It has been a long 2 years since this interminable wait started but we are finally near the finish line. I am really enjoying the Hidden Legacy series. Nevada and her family are wonderful, Rogan is becoming more human the more he becomes involved with Nevada and has developed into a terrific hero. Even secondary characters like Cornelius, Augustine and Bug are interesting . You deserve all the accolades and five star reviews. I just wish I could be there to tell you in person how much I enjoy your work. Have fun.
You said LA and I perked up thinking Louisiana… but you meant L.A. 🙂
Yes, I was hopeful too. But fortunately some of my kids live out there…if I had been planning properly I would have gone out for a visit. Next year….
Maybe we can get one of the bookstores over here to invite?
Call and make the kiddos take books…?
Wish I could be there – that panel sounds like an ideal one for you!
Stay cool ? It’s been a bit humid here in San Diego this week.
Wheeeeeeee!
We have tickets and are so looking forward to seeing you at Ripped Bodice!
Half Moon Inn is place to stay in San Diego.
Half Moon INN on Harbor Dr.
I’m curious, are there any numbers that show impact of book signings on sales?
I’m sure the publishers know, but they may hold that information very closely. It’s their buck, after all, coming and going. Do the added sales pay for the expense of sending out the author?
Have fun everyone who gets to attend!! Think of those of us who are stuck too far away.
Can’t wait to see you on Sunday! Safe travels.
Can’t wait to see you at Ripped Bodice. Safe Travels.
Sigh. Wish I could meet you there. I live in San Diego but those tickets are like Willie Wonka’s golden ticket. Enjoy our weather and hopefully you’ll get out a little and enjoy our beautiful beaches.
I can’t wait to see you guys again 🙂 I think the last time I saw you was when you were down in San Diego for the Bayou Moon signing at Mysterious Galaxy .
Culver City is a lot closer than San Diego 🙂 Hope everything is going well at comic-con!
Super bummed I wasn’t able to grab a copy of Wildfire but so happy I got a picture with you guys! I was the girl dressed as Magik, aka girl in black spandex with a giant sword : )
So nice to meet you in person today in LA. Was fun getting to know other fans in line with me. Glad you were able to talk your publisher into coming to the West Coast. And your nails did look really nice, Ilona!! ? Safe travels — hopefully home!!
Pretty much what everyone already knew: both Gordon and Ilona were super nice and took time to talk a little with everyone. Extremely generous with their time. Even the fans’ dog loves them. (Although, to be honest, he only slobbered on Ilona, so Gordon is still suspect. Kidding)
But I did forget to check out their nails. Darn it. Maybe next time.
Thank you both for coming out to the west coast. Hopefully, Ilona shared some of the candy! ?
Safe travels. And I loved the book. More obviously needed.
I was pleasantly surprised at how much time Ilona and Gordon spent with each fan. Their cheery and enthusiastic hellos to each and every fan and their genuine interest in speaking with each of us was fabulous!! And love that Russian accent!!!
There are so many talented people out there that the difference to me is how they treat others. Ilona and Gordon are fantastic authors and as nice as can be — people worth being fans of!! (Sorry for the bad grammar!!)
Just past midnight here in the U.K. And Wildfire just popped up on my Kindle ???
Yippee! 😉
Hope you all are all doing well– Ilona, Gordon, Kid 1, and Kid 2.
(Do you realize how much discipline it will take to Go To Bed tonight instead ebook reading? Ugh.)
Don’t do it. Sleep can wait!!!
Will be worth it.
lol. Of courxe, not as much discipline as it takes to write!
Oh yeah. Best 1 liner of the book?
I pick Nevada saying. “I don’t negotiate with terrorists”.
OT, _Wildfire_
It’s here! Yay yay yay! Thank you x1m, dear AuthorLords!
FWIW, I’m in Texas, US central daylight savings time. The book downloaded to my Kindle at 11:03pm. Out of curiosity, I checked the listing in the Kindle Store. As of 11:06pm, the book showed Amazon sales rank: 123. 🙂
Happy Book Birthday!!
1:54am US CDT – Amazon sales rank 106. Keep climbing (shrinking) baby! You can do it!
And 2:04 am : 80! Top 100!!
Ok, I’m slightly insane from lack of sleep. I’ll stop now. Happy reading!
Happy Book Birthday – you clock just hit 0!!!!!!
Being in New Zealand I got the email from amazon while still in the afternoon of my workday. Has been hard to not sneak away to read it… ;.; (Happy Book Birthday! ^.^)
OMG!!! This book is so damn good. I just finished at 3:35 am and I have to go to work tomorrow and I already want to read it again!!! AAARGH. I am so happy. Thank you Ilona and Gordon so satisfying and still wanting More.
See you on Friday hopefully. Hope u stay overnight the beach was so pretty this evening. Nice place to rest and festered.
DESTRESS how the heck did this goofy thing turn destress into festered???? So embarrassing …
Kept hitting Sync on the Kindle until the book showed up. So excellent! I took time off Tuesday so I could enjoy it, again.
Thank you so much! Excellent trilogy! Such a joy to read.
Wildfire is FANTASTIC!!! But please, PLEASE tell me that this is not the end…
I think they need at least one more book to tie up loose threads. I’d like it to go as long as Kate, but definitely one more.
Started at 12:04am, finished at 5:04am. All I can say is… Damn. What a ride.
The book dropped and it is great! Next book am taking off work to read all night. Great book! Thank You!
I absolutely love Wildfire! Such an epic read. 🙂 Thank you Ilona and Gordan for this incredible trilogy!
Amazing book!!!!

Based on something else you wrote that they made you change the ending, I now understand that it seems you wanted to tie it up better.
I also get why they wanted it more open ended in case they wanted more books on the same storyline.
BUT….. If some people in the conspiracy knew who he was, and we know that is true from Olivia and Victoria, then at least Alexander would also know and maybe even some more.
I understand no truthseeker would crack Victoria, but if Nevada could get under Victoria’s block then she should have been able to find out who Ceasar was. (That I will not write here).
I am sure you guys came up with an explanation and I would be very interested in hearing it.
As I wrote earlier, I do understand that this problem only exists due to publisher demands.
Still, the book was amazing!!

BTW next series seems to be Catalina and Alessandro, correct?
Would be very interesting to see that outside view of Nevada and Rogan’s relationship.
Though the whole Leon and dark horse thing seems interesting as well.
Being that dark horses don’t usually work out well for the family.
I could see it going either way with him either. 1. He loves the whole thing out 2. Even though he loves it, eventually he comes to want to not be viewed as a dud.
He then did something crazy and later Nevada says, we could have busy come out showing your magic and at any time you could have stopped being a dark horse. We love you and don’t want you to destroy yourself for this etc.

That was utterly amazing!
I now need to sleep fast and start my day 🙂
That last line is going to kill me until we get the next book!
Happy book birthday!
I have to complain. I have to work all day, and I was up all night delivering babies. I want to read wildfire and its killing me. lol!!!
It was such a pleasure to finally meet you two at the Ripped Bodice as one of the last three in line! I hope you had a safe trip back home.
I just finished Wildfire and absolutely loved it. I can’t wait for my paperback copy to come in so I can put your signatures into it.
I have many questions still, but most of all, I’m wondering if Kid 1 and Kid 2 enjoyed this one? 😀
BEST BOOK EVER!!! Thank you so much!! It’s incredible! Have literally been counting down the seconds till the book became available in my time zone. Well worth the wait!

Did anyone notice that in chapter 10, at the end of the conversation with Nevada, Linus Ducan remarks, “I do hate to be bored.” Then, in the epilogue, Victoria Tremaine is talking with an individual who is alluded to be Caesar who makes almost the exact same comment, “We both do so hate to be bored.”
A mere coincidence? Or something more?
I think it is pretty obvious that it is him.
Besides that see the way Nevada reacted to him. Probably something to do with his magic.
Also that last chapter was just completely in his “tone of voice” even besides that last statement which just sealed it.
I think it was pretty much confirmed.
I Luv you Ilona Andrews!
