Book Depository
We have some bad news. Book Depository is going out of business.
We are sorry to let you know that Book Depository will be closing on 26 April 2023.
You can still place orders until midday (12pm BST) on 26 April 2023 and we will continue to deliver your purchases and provide support for any order issues until 23 June 2023.
From all of us at Book Depository we want to say “thank you”. Delivering your favourite reads to you since 2007 has been a pleasure.
You’ll find more info in our FAQs.
According to the Guardian and Book Riot, this closure is likely a part of Amazon’s current cutbacks. Amazon, which bought Book Depository in 2011, is seeking to eliminate 18,000 jobs over all, some of them in the Devices and Books section.
Book Depository was a favorite source of print books for many readers located outside of US. They came on the scene the same year our first book came out, and this is a really sad turn of events. The store will be sorely missed.
We are looking at alternative retailers. All of the Book Depository links on the site will have to be replaced, and we will let you know as soon as we figure out which store we will put in that space.
Website
Moving on, thanks to the might of the BDH, we’re in real danger of outgrowing Flywheel, which is the current home of our website. We get all the traffic, which is a wonderful problem to have, and our big spikes in release months are straining Flywheel resources.
We will most likely be moving to WP Engine for our hosting. This is an involved process, and there will be a lot going on behind the scenes, hopefully none of it visible. We will be making sure that free fiction section is a bit easier to find and will be streamlining some design elements during this time.
State of Magic Claims
To the utter shock of no one at all, Magic Claims is a bit longer than planned. We are at 50K right now and we still have a bit to go. Magic Tides was 43K, and it was twice as long as a typical novella. There is no way to call Magic Claims a novella. It’s a short novel, and we all will just have to live with that.
Because it is a little longer and we are a little tired, there have been less posts on the blog. We are trying hard to deliver a good finale. We will do our best to make it worth the wait.
Mod R has read the draft up to the final battle point and reports that it is not terrible. (I might have understated Mod R’s response a bit for the sake of maintaining my humble author image.)
Thank you for your support and patience!
The BDH will attempt to wait patiently…… the more words the better for us!
This!
Amen
I agree!
Moar words is good!
What she said ????
exact what i am thinking
well, i am certainly glad Magic Claims is biggie sized!
Congrats to Mod R for a classic example of damning with faint praise! Meanwhile take your time, we of the BDH will practice being patient.
As you see I’m with Kat on this one ????
I may have severely understated Mod R’s response in the interests of maintaining my humbleness. 🙂
In fairness to me, I believe my commentary was much more effusive hehe.
Enough mentioned that I was begging Ilona for sex at 1 am in the morning whilst reading it 😛 (I really must do a blog post on all the out of context insane things I say to my employers in a regular week. That they still have patience with me is proof enough they’re saints).
Do not take a sip while reading the blog and comments.

*spit take*
Do not take a sip while reading the blog and comments.
Do not take a sip while reading the blog and comments.
Do not take a sip while reading the blog and comments.
This comment made me laugh and made my day 🙂
Also, do not take a sip while reading the blog and comments while holding your phone (or other electronics). ????
I should specify that it was begging for a sex SCENE (between Kate and Curran), but well…still shortest harassment suit ever if anyone reads it ????.
hahaha
lol I had wondered in teams of bosses being very very patient with the first rendition of the request ????????
when Ilona said that she was understating your response, I was picturing cartwheel????♀️????♀️????♀️
It did include a few anime heart eye gifs, a few emails with lines in all CAPS and some accusations of wanting to kill me with laughter ????.
I can’t spoil too much but enough to say that Roland is at his sassiest ???? and there’s a Bugs Bunny-esque horror scene!
There, I’ve spilled enough!
Oh boy, Mod R you are making patience very difficult!
Sassy Roland ????
Maybe the Bugs Bunny-esque scene involves magic clams. The clams are made into magic clam cakes. ????????
A sassy Roland? Uh oh. ????????️
LOL! So glad you specified because my mind IMMEDIATELY went to the gutter….
I was thinking, “Dang, how good IS this book??”
It’s good enough to need the clarification ????
Oh, thank god for clearing that up Mod R. That had sounded just a little to racy for the blog.
Thanks for looking put for a sistah! That would be most enetrtaining.
I, too, was drinking my morning coffee.
Things to do today:
1) Clean up desk
2) Clean off monitor
3) Clean up self
4) Make new coffee
exactly!!!
Would love to see that post!
I love you Mod R. ????????????????????????????????
You’re cute! I enjoy your sense of humor very much. ????
For IA books the longer the reading time the better 😉 I know the wait will be worth it.
Sad for Book Depository, I had ordered from them previously to complete some series. It would be hard to find a source that is affordable and provide good service.
Magic Claims…? I could’ve sworn it was Magic Clams… hehehehe ????????
Now, now 😀
my first thought.
I didn’t catch the typo the first time around.
but now I can’t unsee it.
my brain read magic clams
also, I would love to read Mod R’s initial review in its entirety.
sending positive energy for the finale! I hope you can have a nice spring break.
You are in good company :D!
In the initial Horde pre-ordering invasion, everyone (or everyone’s autocorrect) was searching for “Magic Clams Ilona Andrews” so much that the retailer algorithms started to suggest it instead of the actual title hehe.
It even led to an alternate cover 😀 https://ilona-andrews.com/2023/title-typos-and-many-apologies/
It will always be Magic Clams to me.
If there aren’t clams in this book, I’ll be sad.
FAN SERVICE!
CLAMS! CLAMS! CLAMS!
To be fair, Kate and Julie have a shellfish history. A clam bake on the beach wouldn’t be out of character.
I confess I’m hoping for a bit with the clams too!!! Especially since its supersized!!!!
A were clam?
*Roars with laughter !!!!
This!!!! Lol

FYI – kennysbookshop.ie – a WONDERFUL bookshop in Galway, Ireland – ships books worldwide for 1 Euro.
You will not be underwhelmed!
Please take your time…don’t shortchange your life activities just to give it to us sooner.
I always love when house andrews books end up longer than intended. I’m sorry it makes more work for you, but very happy there is more to read for me.
I am overjoyed that Magic Claims is now a short novel with writing still happening.
With everything going on behind the scenes I happily forgo the pleasure of your blog posts (which I don’t check for more than 5 times a day.) I’m always reluctant to come to the end of one of your books because I want to stay in that adventure a while longer.
So take a break, have a pet cuddle (spouse too), and recharge before you’re back at the computer. Best always.

Magic Claims is going to run long…cue my shocked face…and Jeanine’s laughter…
this makes me happy as a clam…
Lol. Well said.
Happy as a clam… that has Magic?
“Not terrible” = I have a tenuous grasp on my excitement and joy and can probably act professional for short periods of time as needed, but on the inside I can’t stop screaming “Squeeeeeeeeeeeee!”
Good luck with the website move, I hope it is seamless and easy for all involved!
I didn’t actually say “not terrible”, Ilona is being modest as ever. But thank you for thinking I can act professionally, even for short periods of time 😀

Jam out with your clam out! ????
Ack on moving the website, son #1 does IT and usually drinks the good stuff when everything is done and everything works right.
Since they are now living on the coast Magic Clams would be a possible thing. They could produce magical pearls or swallow ships or all sorts of things. I look forward to their appearing in the next installment.
That would have made a great April 1st snippet, to set the BDH in an uproar
So sad another source of books is leaving!!
Take your time on Magic Claims, maybe don’t tie up all loose ends so you can write another in future??
I’m listening to Kate on CD, and I like Renee Raudman. However, I am really looking forward to Graphic Arts’ version of Sheriff Beau.
-I’ve never used the Book Depository, but I know many people do, so I’m sorry to hear that.
-Short novel?!?! Woohoo!!!
I am always grateful that you allow the stories to be the length that they need to be.
this!!

Bummer about Book Depository, I bought most of my Kate Daniels books through there as books are expensive in NZ and then added postage from somewhere else in the world is ridiculous.
I have found an independent book shop who stocks your books and postage isn’t too bad between the islands so will be using her more, always got Nalini Singh’s books thru her as they are signed and personalised, which is nice.
Can you share where you are getting them? I found a Blood Heir at my local library but haven’t seen them in bookshops? Thanks in advance from a fellow kiwi!
We are not surprised but we are happy with the longer seafood book.
I am however sad about Book Depository. I liked their bookmarks.
You guys are soooo awesome! “A little bit longer” means more book for us to devour **Muahahaha!**
Just please don’t get too tired. Mental/physical health care is important ????
When I read their newsletter I thought it was an april fool joke, until I checked the date ???? If it wasn’t for Bookdepository I wouldn’t have be able to collect your books (and so many orhers). ???????? After Amazon acquisition it started declining but I could still find some fine offers sometimes.
Your “clams” news are much welcome though! ????????
Ooooo new web host! Hope it goes smoothly and sorry, but not really hehe.
Also sorry to hear about Book Depository. I’ve never used it, but I also know it’s never fun trying to find alternatives to services that have been suddenly discontinued.
I am so happy! The new novella has morphed into a novel. I know this means more work at your end, but I can’t help it. I am so happy!!
Hang in there! Keep the eyes on the upcoming vacation as a reward for all the tiredness? I hope you’ve decided on someplace really fun!
????????????????????????????
I wonder if we can coin a new term for something between a novel and a novella ???? I know! The nIAvel ????
I hope you find a replacement store soon.
Now ask us if we’re surprised that Magic Claims is longer than originally planned.
In my mind – BDH: Blogging less. Writing mooooaaaarr!!! Pronounced as in the Goooaaaalll!! announcers yell in a really exciting game of soccer (American) or Football (European). Yes, please I’ll take it. Writing mooooaaarrr! 🙂 Thank you Mod R and AuthorLords. Also, very very sad about Book Depository closing.
Off topic…yesterday author Dana Stabenow gave a shout out on her blog for all the series written by our favorite author duo!!
Yay! So glad to see mentions in the wild ????
Just FYI though for everyone listening: there have been no official announcements about how many Innkeeper books there are left ????.
Glad to see your comment. One other thing, even though you do so much – have you considered consolidating all the suggestions of where to get books not in the US or do you have that already because you are an overachiever??
Congrats on outgrowing flywheel! I’ve worked with WPEngine and think you’ll be in good hands; a hosting transition with a large site is never easy, but with the right vendor pays dividends.
I cant say that Im sad that its longer. But I am sorry you guys are tired. Rest up if necessary I can wait. Ive been waiting years for another book…Ive had a whole human in that time, moved 5 times so I’ve got patience. And anything in the KD world is treat for me.
Thank you for writing us stuff. It’s so, so appreciated.
If it took you years to write, it would still be worth the wait!
Good luck with the web move!
As much as I check all the time for blog posts (really I do), I am perfectly happy to be patient and have less blog posts and more novel! As well, please take care of yourselves! The BDH will still be here even if the novel (whatever size) takes longer!
“To the utter shock of no one at all” – this is my shocked face (normally, I would insert a gif here but for some reason I can’t.
I’m really devastated by the news about Book Depository. I live in New Zealand and it’s very hard for us to get a lot of specialised books without having to pay exorbitant prices for shipping on top of the price of the book. At least I have plenty of IA books to comfort me and more to come!
Very sad about Book Depository. International shipping costs are often prohibitive otherwise.
Very happy about a longer book!
Sorry if we are stress-testing your website provider so that you’ll have to move everything on top of verything else…… But then reading your Blog is so much fun it sounds very plausible that the Horde might leave a few crashed Servers in its wake on the quest for snippets, recipes, pet news and clams….
Best news for us on the novel-ish sized novella, and hoping the finale gets sorted or can be postponed so that you might enjoy a relaxed easter weekend.
Yay to all the online traffic for the site. Boo to the headaches to switch to a new way to handle all the traffic. Hopefully the headaches will be few.
It would be interesting to read Mod R’s comments about Magic Claims. ???? Mod R, you rock!
**Waiting patiently for the longer novella/shorter novel** ????
ModR was much more effusive I’m sure. Also, the BDH adores those novellas that turn into novels!
Yay for more Kate!!
Blackwell’s does free international shipping, as a possible replacement to Book Depository. They also sent me a mini box of Yorkshire decaf tea in my last order – if that influences your choice 🙂
“It is not terrible,” would be a hilarious cover quote to be honest. LOL.
I too have been unable to see anything but those clams when I see Magic…
As for bookstores, I am an ardent fan of Powells! (powells.com). They not only have an amazing repository but they will look for a book for you if they don’t have it in stock. If you are ever in Portland, OR. it is worth taking a day to experience it’s magic (pun intended).
WP Engine is a solid choice. We used them at my former place of business and it was a really responsive and user-friendly platform. Good luck to you on that. Sorry we almost crashed you. Heehee. ????
BDH totally supports longer books. It’s terrible but we will do our best to make it through reading more pages of awesome. Thank you!
I mean…short novel?? I’m all up for it!
and less blog posts is fine. you don’t owe anyone to be active and breaks are good for all of us 🙂
Everything y’all write is phenomenal. I’m so excited it’s longer than anticipating so I get to enjoy the world even longer.
Any idea when Magic Tides will be in audiobook?
Hi Marnie,
The Magic Tides audiobook is likely to be released at the same time as Magic Claims, so June ????
Thanks. My eyesight is declining, so audiobooks are what I wait for!
A short novel rather than a novella? Oh well, I guess we will just have to settle in and read it. (!!yay!!)
I would happily wait with radio silence from you for months if I had hope of a beast of a novel to read for Magic Claims. I forced myself to slow down reading the last saga so I didn’t completely abandon my husband and children to fend for themselves and blast through every yummy chapter. My only criticism of any of your books is that they’re over too fast!
Love and respect to you and the “army of awesome” who work so hard to bring us hours of delight.
Hi all.
I am sad about book depository as it was a great place to get paperbacks and not pay ridiculous amounts in shipping to get it to Australia!
I’ve been told Blackwells in the UK also offers free shipping so will be having a look at them!
xx
With the exception of Book Depository, this post made my day! All the comments have been hysterical!
esperaré impacientemente, pero tomense el tiempo que necesiten por que hasta ahora nunca me decepcioné con nada que House Andrews escribió.
Gracias por su hermoso esfuerzo!
On Reddit on EU boards discussing this I have seen this list of alternative sites. Nor sure if any of these could work for you, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt:
Blackwells, Kennys, Wordery, http://used.addall.com, & http://vialibri.net
Excited about all the extra words!
Thanks for the suggestions! ????
So we will have to power through a short novel, rather than a novella? Oh, the hardship! I’m steeling myself already.
Condolences to those who are losing the Book Depository. Losing any bookstore is hard.
I hope the transition to the new website goes as smoothly as possible.
Thank you for giving us good news after delivering the bad 🙂
We all love your work so we will patiently wait for a great final product! Be kind to yourselves when things are chaotic.
I’ve heard that Blackwell’s is an alternative retailer!
“To the utter shock of no one at all, Magic Claims is a bit longer than planned.” Gordon and Jeanine must be both be ROFL! ????
Take all the time you need and don’t worry about not posting – Mod R takes very good care of the BDH! ????
Having now imagined the magic clams, I’m seeing a blind sentient version as competitors in innkeepers’ hosting of a future spousal selection…sort of a Botticelli Venus rising — only since they are blind, imagine the possibilities… I should delete this but what the heck
We of the BDH greatly appreciate as many words as you care to share with us. The more the merrier as far as we are concerned. If it takes a little bit longer than originally planned, we will wait, impatient, yes – but wait we gladly will.
We love everything you write. We are patiently waiting but if you need us to beat anyone up for you we will do this also. Just saying. Happy Easter ????
Sad to hear about Book Depository. Its never a good thing to lose a source of print books. Especially used ones. We need sources of out of print and just reasonably priced books. Shipping & exchange rates have become ridiculous. I have used many re-sellers from the US Amazon Marketplace and appreciated each one. I treasure all the bookmarks, hand written thank you notes and original sales slips , black & white photo (!) and whatnot I’ve found in the used books purchased.
Can’t get that experience at a big box store. Kudos to all booksellers 🙂
Book Depository joins Bookpages (who remembers them?) on the list of UK sites merged and dissolved by Amazon.
Wow, “not terrible”… with a recommendation like that, how can it miss? I’m sure any author, even a humble one, would be thrilled to get such a recommendation. ;P
It’s a lot better than “not terrible”, Ilona is just being humble ????
Yay for longer book!! ????????????
Yay for blog posts whenever they are posted!! ????????
Sad to hear of a book source being closed. There was a great independent book store in the downtown of the town where I grew up. Long gone with the rest of the stores, most of them local businesses run by multiple generations of the same family. The “malling” of America…. sigh.
I am sorry to hear that Book Depository is closing. Naturally, I’m thrilled to hear that you are writing a longer book, but I hope you guys also get enough rest.
You make the book being longer sound like a bad thing, when it’s really like being told you’re getting 4 christmas presents and then finding a hidden fifth under the tree.
A longer book is always worth the wait! Your loyal BDH appreciates you!
“A bit” longer than planned…I doubt most of us in the BDH will mind.
Magic Clams “It’s not terrible.” You guys kill me.
Magic Claims!!!!!!! All Love and Support!!!! Singing loud in my Heart!!!
hehehe yay!!! more words!!!
in other news, I was going on a 15+ hr flight this past weekend and was super excited to binge the Graphic Audio version of Kate…and then realized it’s not out til next week ???? can’t wait! love that HA is doing their books in so many different mediums.
I am so upset about Book Depository. I used to love watching their interactive book buying map.
Yeah, so unhappy about Book Depository… it was great to get history books from all over, or American Cook Books!….. even if I hated the fact that any time you bought from them recently, Amazon were getting a cut… such a pity for all the people attached to the job losses.
But so looking forward to Magic Claims ! I won’t mind how long it will be ! 🙂
The closure of a book store/source is always bad news. Pfui on Amazon. And ‘Magic Claims’ is to be a short novel? Gee, how terrible!
Not terrible huh? Mod R you are the master of understatement! I can’t wait
Short, medium or long, any of your work is read and treasured. When a new book is released, however long it is, I will buy it. When it is a shorter work, I really REALLY try not to read it so fast because I just don’t want it to be finished and then have to wait for the next book. It does not work so I am left with waiting. Alas, there is no cure for Book junkies.
YAY! An actual book!
Thank you!
I can’t wait!
Comments can be just as much fun as books or blogs. We could all be in 7th grade and ask if ModR was doing cartwheels on the beach what color would her underwear be? Yuk Yuk
And I remember FrInnKeeper being mentioned as a distantly scheduled sometime something, so my Friday diligence will be rewarded someday somewhere, so there are more. Yay!
Your work is always worth the wait! And I hadn’t realized BDH had gotten to the point of stressing the web architecture. O.o
And I’m sad to hear the fate of Book Depository. It’s so frustrating when companies like Amazon destroy others doing good work.
The volume of shellfish related foolishness going on in this comment section is an absolute delight. You all are hilarious.
“To the utter shock of no one at all…”
Must be the day, but this made me laugh and laugh and laugh – intentioned or not, thank you!
Yay! Please work as happily as you can to deliver to us our Magic Clams 😛
Thank you!
We cherish every moment you can spare to keep us informed.
Will miss Book Depository when it’s gone. My conduit to a more varied supply of books I want my niece and nephews in France and Switzerland to read.
Sorry for the rest of the world who won’t have such future access to titles and authors as we take for granted here in the USA.
I took a look at Blackwell’s site, since someone in the comments at Smart Bitches mentioned that their international shipping is free. And while you don’t get a separate shipping charge from them, what they say is “Delivery cost included within the price of the book.” That’s not exactly the same as free shipping.
Yeah, but that’s the same thing BookDepo did (and still does, for a while yet). The point is that the price of the book is the price of the book; containing shipping, VAT, and whatnot. I appreciate knowing the price I’m considering is the final price. It’s a very civilized way to buy things.
Contrast that to a purchase I just made from Amazon.com. (And believe me, I looked everywhere else online first—locally in-country, the Nordic countries, the EU, anywhere…zip, zilch, nada. So I had to buy from Amazon because I was buying a case for an older—by a few generations—used phone. (Because I’d just smashed the screen on my previous phone…hence, the protective case.)) My choices were two: boring and ugly-to-me. Price was shown to me as I considered my options with a +shipping pretty prominently featured. But when I made my choice, not only was I charged item price and shipping, but they slapped VAT on the combination of that price…which felt like an insult. Uncivilized.
RIP BookDepo—you brought me much joy through the mail. :´(
So happy that Magic Claims is gonna be a “short novel”. I’m excited and I reckon many fans are. Sorry though that there’s pressure and stress involved. Stay strong! I’m glad you both have each other. I think that’s your superpower.
This site and all of HA’s book are a source of ever-giving joy in my life. I can hardly remember a post of a book that didn’t have me smiling or laughing. This was no exception. Thanks HA and Mod R for some early afternoon giggles on my lunch break.
“To the utter shock of no one at all, Magic Claims is a bit longer than planned.” You left out “but also to the absolute glee of BDH” ????
Yay!
More words! Thank you!
No problem if the price has to go up. I will happily pay the going rate for the longer publication.
So sorry about Book Depository. It not something I knew much about, but it seems like it was a good idea. Any bookstore going under is a shame.
O no! More words to read…how ever will we cope?? Yay! Thanks so much 🙂
Sad news about Book Depository, though honestly a bit surprised it took Amazon so long to do it.
Really looking forward to Magic Claims, novella, short novel, or king size, will be waiting patiently!
“To the utter shock of no one at all” .Yeah more Kate, more Curran, more shifters, more mayhem!
Take your time, we will wait. If not always patiently, it will be eagerly.
I can imagine Mod R’s uncensored response. Not terrible would definitely not cover it lolz
????????????????????????❤️????
***Pyrane***
Just glad you’re all chugging along. Was worried when I didn’t see any blog posts lately! ❤️
I wanted to drop in a comment about graphic audio since I just listened to my first one. I got Sweep of the Blade which is my favorite Innkeeper and was totally blown away by the production quality! What a fun way to reexperience the story!
I immediately preordered Magic Bites and I’m so excited for its release! Highly recommend!
You are always worth the wait!
A LONGER book, we don’t want that— said no member of the BDH ever. 🙂
Make it as long and you care to make it, no worries here!
Sorry to hear about Book Depository -always sad when a seller of books goes away. I buy the Kindle version of HA books, but for other things I’ve had very good luck using Alibris.com for both new and used books. I checked and they do ship worldwide. Hope this helps others in the BDH…
And I promise to try to be very patient for Magic Clams….um, I mean Claims….or is it Clams? Whatever, I will try to be patient, even though I don’t for a second believe Mod R would ever have less than a whooping-jumping-up-and-down-cheering reaction to a new HA book, especially because I don’t think HA is capable of writing anything that deserves a lesser reaction! ????
[checks calendar…is it June yet?]
Thank you for your faith in me ???? (it is accurate!). I think some of the BDH is ready with the tar and feathers ????
Or lemon and butter instead of tar and feathers? ????????????????
So happy to hear the Magic Claims has reached the level of “short novel”! I have been reading Kate since the first book appeared on the shelf all those years ago, and it makes me so happy to know that I get to share in her life once more! Also fun that when I started reading I was still single, and now all these years later have a house, a husband and an 8 year old, just like Kate! (well, assuming Conlan is 7, lol).
From,
A Veterinarian in Atlanta 🙂
For me longer is better but Good luck and keep up the amazing work. You are loved by us book junkies
No worries! I can wait! And I can’t wait! Haha ???? So happy for the epic fail of the novella and yea!! Win! to the short novel!
Chapter in Mt Eden, auckland is very good . Francis stocks your books and is very helpful
found out about the closure of Bookdepository yesterday, really saddened they weren’t just a great place to get books they were a great resource too and if there was any problems with an order they were always always helpful
on a brighter note House Andrews and Mod R have a great day
I read that as Magic Clams and thought maybe y’all were taking the new setting a bit intensely…
I will wait as long as it takes. It’s hard as I am 74.
But I have been a fan since the year 1. Go House Andrews!
So the book is longer than a novella, you will just have to cut all the excess words out…….SAID NO ONE IN THE BDH EVER!!!
As a LOYAL member of the BDH; I will “patiently” wait for ANY crumbs, shorts, novellas, novels or full fledged books you produce. LOVE TO YOU ALL.
If WP stands for WordPress be advised that it is a pain in the ass to upkeep and also requires someone knowledgeable to perform all of the individualized updates.
You might look at and consider Squarespace as an alternative. We are moving one of our sites off WP and into Squarespace to avoid the multi-upgrade WP knowledgeable requirements.
Jenny,
Thank you for the recommendation. This site has been running on WordPress for the last 10 years. We know this CMS and it is more flexible than Squarespace so occasional updates are worth it to us.
The world is not near as nice a place as it used to be. Big biz has swept up Mom & pop, local & small businesses both brick & morter and online too. Only to jeteson them for bigger profits. Goodbye Book Depository.
We are all big fans of longer House Andrews novellas/novels and Mod R’s sense of humor. Looking forward to Magic Claims whenever it arrives. ???? No stressing allowed. Schedule in some time to rest and relax.
So sorry to hear about Book Depository closure.
I’m more than ever jealous of Mod R’s job. So looking forward to it, I’ve been te listening all the books
I will take Mod R’s “not terrible “ over any fancy NYT review any day!!!!
Can’t wait, BUT I can absolutely wait for you guys to write what you want as you want it.
Happy Spring!
I am so glad Magic Claims is a longer story, I love reading the Kate Daniels Series (I have reread many times), and Magic Tides was a real treat after I thought the Kate Daniels Series was at it’s end. I wanted the Kate and Curren stories to keep going. So I am glad Magic Claims will give us a lengthier story.
I am sure we are all willing to wait for Magic Claims to be completed and that Ilona Andrews take their time, (they need some rest time as well) most of us have pre-ordered, well at least the ‘BDH die-hards’ have, so we would rather have Ilona Andrews take their time and enjoy their writing, rather than be harassed and pushed to tiring deadlines.
Looking forward to the new book.
Sad to hear about Book Depository.
But on a positive note, I’m not an audio-book consumer, and I had a couple long solo drives last week so bought Graphic Audio’s Innkeeper Chronicles… OMG, I’m addicted now. I’ve bought all the things.
Congrats on the release of Magic Bites today!
Please continue creating all the things at your own pace so I may appreciate them. Happy spring!
