This morning:
Hi Anne,
Please find enclosed the manuscript for Magic Triumphs.
— Gordon Andrews
The book is done. Or that is, the first draft is done. Now it’s time for a beta read. This will have to be the NDA to end all NDAs, because it’s the end of the series and it cannot get out. I am wondering if there is any way to add, “If you leak this, we reserve the right to kill you with a spoon” clause to this agreement.
It’s done. Yays! Done. It done. We did it. We done done it. It’s done. Ten years. Done.
Our agent called in the middle of the final battle scene and I don’t think I was quite coherent, because I responded with something like “Kill bad guy, die book, die.” She laughed and hung up.
Did I mention that the book was done? It is.
Why is everything ending?!?! Kate, Nevada, Xfiles, Fever! How will I go on?!? ? I’m sadxcited.
I don’t think fever is completely ending. What with the possibility for so many spinoff books.
Amazon has informed me that the publication date has been moved to the end August – boo !
Does the final version usually take so long from the first draft ???
I got that email also…I was so surprised after seeing the post that it was done. I don’t know anything about the publishing process though…I imagine there are lots of changes etc. Still, 7 months seems like a long time.
I think it could be because it is a first draft and sometimes things have to be changed or reworked. I was bummed too but thats how it works. It will come just have to wait longer lol.
But the hardcover is still set for May 8.

Anyone know why?

It’s ending :;(
Grats on finished book though! I can’t believe I’ve been following you guys for so long (well, not 10 years, but a little less). Thanks for being awesome and writing amazing books
Wow! Congratulations. I can’t believr we have been a fan and supporter for 10 years. My daughter got me started reading your books and I have read all your series and love everything you have done. Question: will you continue with a Derek series? Will there be move with Nevada? Thank very much for the enjoyment your books have provided. Has gotten me thru some serious hospitalizations.
I’ll have you know you almost made me spit out my coffee laughing!
Yay! Book is done! Can’t wait to read it!
i’m actually sad about this. i don’t want kate daniels to end.
I imagine it must be bittersweet to end a series that long. You’ve created such deep and complex characters it will be hard to say goodbye.
Thank you for you’re wonderful work. I can’t wait to see what you do next. Honestly you both are my favorite authors. I will miss Kate and Curren, and when I do I will start the adventure over with magic bites and visit with them like old friends.
Congratulations!
A heartfelt thanks for all the hours of reading enjoyment you have provided with these stories. I’ve re-read them multiple times over the years and can’t help feeling a bit sad. As others have said, I hope you will find a chance to re-visit this world through different and new characters – the “tech down/magic up” aspect is so original and so much fun to read about! I’ve loved the magical creatures and characters you’ve created.
Looking forward with so much excitement to reading the finale!
