Hi all, Mod R here.
I’m so glad everyone is having fun with the character Frinnterviews!
It’s time to decide the next couple of guests who will visit Gertrude Hunt and tell us about themselves. Vote carefully, there are goodies made by Orro at stake.
Let’s also clarify a few things about the Friday Talks, because they keep coming up in the comments:
This is an opportunity to find out more about our favourite underdogs and underlogs, so the focus will be mainly on supporting characters. Protagonists will likely not be featured, as they’re explored enough in the narrative or have reveals coming up at the right time in future sequels. So no Derek, Julie, Elara etc for now. I’m going to use that dirty word again, but we must w*it for the full stories to be published and not spoil our fun.
Which brings us to…
I know you all want to see favourites from the Innkeeper series come chat with Dina and Sean- but Sweep of the Heart comes out in less than a month (the timer is up on the home page) and we have to be pa*ient because at this time pretty much anything an Innkeeper character says could be spoiliminating (spoiler+ incriminating? No? I’m trying to make it a thing). That’s why we’re going to focus on characters from the other Ilona Andrews series for now.
Without further ado (and with explanations of where they come from this time):
Next Friday Talk guest is:
- Augustine "Pancakes" Montgomery (Hidden Legacy) (18%, 1,412 Votes)
- Luther, Biohazard Wizard at Large (Kate Daniels) (15%, 1,227 Votes)
- Bug (Hidden Legacy) (14%, 1,151 Votes)
- Grandma Frida (Hidden Legacy) (13%, 1,038 Votes)
- Erra (Kate Daniels series) (12%, 962 Votes)
- Leon (Hidden Legacy) (12%, 924 Votes)
- William, Lord Sandine (Bayou Moon, The Edge series) (5%, 370 Votes)
- Desandra (Kate Daniels) (4%, 341 Votes)
- Konstantin Leonidovich Berezin (Ruby Fever, Hidden Legacy) (4%, 312 Votes)
- Runa (Hidden Legacy) (3%, 218 Votes)
Total Voters: 7,955
You vote whilst I go wash my mouth out with soap. Thank Chernobog I didn’t have to use “d*layed” as well. Yuck.
Gloria Magid says
This was a hard set of choices! I want more on all the Beylors and Baylor-adjacent people. Can we add Penelopy Baylor to the next list, so we can ask how her romance with SGT Heart is progressing? Please?
H says
Ohh that is a good point….would Penelope give us an answer though? I am not sure but I want to know too.
Marnie says
Oh, can’t wait to read Desandra’s!
Jennifer K says
Incriminoiling
SL says
Desperately trying to find some way to check ALL the names!
Jaime says
+1!!!!
Jean says
So many good options, so very hard to choose! Looking forward to Friday for the interview at Gertrude Hunt!
Jaime says
I admit I am hoping Ghastek will stop by…
Sleepy says
+1!!!
Moderator R says
Should not have underestimated the BDH “Give us Augustine” subdivision.
This is what I get now, Illusion mages 😛
Katie says
Shoot…. this one was hard. I chose Luther though.
Side note, I loved William in Bayou Moon.
Yrina says
Come on Luther!!!
Kristi T says
Augustine because I’m curious about him, and I’m a bit puzzled at the love he’s gotten. His initial treatment of Nevada as a disposable asset with a hostage family makes it difficult for me to see him as an acceptable ally, let alone the potential love interest some have positioned him as. There’s ruthless, and then there’s giving your people a death sentence because that seems a reasonably convenient option.
Janet says
A difficult choice as there were so many HL characters I’d love to see featured!
Cheryl says
This time it was very hard to pick!
Sleepy says
ohhh William!!! his book was my favorite edge book
Bruce R says
Everyone needs to get on the Bug-wagon — we *know* he can’t keep a secret!!!
MariaZ says
Can’t wait to hear what delicacies Orro comes up for the future guests. Something from The Great British Bake Off perhaps?
Like Pistachio and white chocolate churros, Apricot couronne, Passion fruit and lime Charlotte russe, Chocolate brownie meringue cake with raspberry cream, or Dobos torte.
Luiz says
Ok Im again expressing my deep regret of only being able to vote in one of them. It would be better if I could vote at least in 2 or even 3. That said Im happy that Luther got better position this turn but why Grandma Frida is so low. Yes we could learn more on bug and luther but we alread know a lot on Augustine. The biggest Augustine background mistery isnt even himself but his brother and sister. Last time I voted Frida but if the votes are this way I gonna vote Luther so he can (with some more votes) pass over Augustine at least.
Chelley says
Augustine or Luther, either one is good. Or grandma Frida. I love that grease monkey.
wingednike says
Surprised but glad to see how high Luther is on this poll. I want more of Augustine, too, but the snarky government employee wins my vote.
Petra says
I want to vote for two…..I love to hear from Luther and Augustine….
Faye says
Such a pity I can’t vote for all of them 🙁
Yvonne A. says
I vote for Bug – i allways want to know him better
Jo says
Going with my first ❤️ … William xo
Becky Pullum says
I love Grandma Frida. I wish I was that cool.
Rose says
These are all good characters to learn more about. But for me, and maybe it’s because I just read Ruby Fever and am in a Baylor Family state of mind, I want to know a lot more about Grandma Frida and Leon.
H says
Mod R I am not sure if this would make the entire FrINNday a huge headache, if so then please disregard. Once a person is picked. Could we the BDH maybe write in Qs we would like to ask the character about? Obviously HA knows the things we want to know and I would not want to interrupt their plans. I am very greatful for the side character interviews. Just as an example I voted for Luther, I would like to know more about his magic, even when he first noticed it, how it manifested etc. I am sure that is not a very unique question all things considered. I do not know if BDH comments about what they would like to know about the Friday’s character pick would be helpful or a pit of chaos that would distract from the creatitve awesomeness of HA. I know BDH is an awesome horde but as by definition a Horde is a lot of people and I would not want us, BDH to do something that creates more work or distracts from the fun HA, Mod R, and BDH get from the FrInnDay interviews. Just wanted to put out the idea.
Moderator R says
The interviews are based on the questions readers leave in the comments ????
MariaZ says
Ha.
That was a funny.
Moderator R says
I think I’m missing something? 😀
KimS says
I voted for Desandra, she has a wicked sense of humor!
Kat says
Bug! Bug! Bug!
Really hopeful about seeing him get fed by Orro. Like, not just a snack.
Jj says
honestly , y’all be sleeping way too much on runa
Kimbeaux says
When we get to Augustine (Pancakes), could we pleeeeeeaaaase have Helen visit her aunt and do the interview?
Kris says
“Dirty Words and a Vote”
I thought this would be the Bug interview. Heh.
Naenae says
I voted for Erra, but Luther or Pancakes is awesome too.
Marie-Claire says
Does anyone else find it rather extraordinary that over 7000 of us voted?
Way to go, BDH!
And – pretty amazing community-building, Mod R and House Andrews…
Melisa M. says
I love a lot of the options here but I would also wonder if we can hear from George or Jack or Sophie in the near future? I want to know what happens w George and Sophie!
And how is Rose and Declan? I loved them as they were one of my first House Andrews books.
Since some of them are now connected to the Inn maybe we can’t get them yet but wanted to make sure to mention them! 🙂
Moderator R says
And that brings up to the spoilcriminating info, some of the things you’ve enumerated can be found in Sweep of the Heart, make sure you don’t miss it 😉
Patricia Schlorke says
Ooo, a hint for the book!
*W*ating, somewhat pat*iently for the book* 😀
wingednike says
I would love to hear from Rose or Declan. My favorite couple was Audrey and Kaldar. They definitely gave off “the cool aunt and uncle” vibe. I do wonder if Cerisse had kids and if it were as crazy as she anticipated.
Wendy says
I love the “dirty” words! Still laughing
Amy says
Where’s the “yes” button?! ????
Judith says
I would love to learn more about Granma Fridda. . . She makes eyes at Duncan and implies they could be or maybe had been “a thing.” Her hidden talent is interesting especially in how they are turning up in the grands. and by the way — if Runa has a kiddo with a pattern mage — what would that child be? Glad to see the Hidden Legacy series continue in any form. One of my favorites.
Logan Matthew Teague says
‘Spoiliminating’ will never be a thing. It sounds like spoil mixed with eliminate, or at least that’s where my mind goes. Try ‘incrimispoil’. Personally it sounds better, but if others disagree then okay.
Youtan says
Is there any chance of getting a playlist of the “documentaries” that Sean is recommending to Orro?????
With all the streaming content available, I find myself falling back and watching old favorites I haven’t seen in years.
Lynn Thompson says
Thank you, mod R for the post. Nice explanation. I have been enjoying the Friday posts.
