Sweep of the Heart is officially finished. We have typed The End.
::throws confetti::
The draft is finished. Now for the edit and then it will go to our copyeditor and then our audio reader next week. 115 K not counting the bonus material.
It is literally 2 Clean Sweeps long.
Done. Finished in time. Done. Woooo!
::falls over::

eww says
I want to thank you so much for not only making your characters ones we can connect with, but also that your worlds are consistent in and of themselves, even with the powers of the innkeepers to play with. I look forward to the extra chapters with Wilmos’ rescue in the published version.
Now, perhaps you should have a nice cup of tea with a cookie or bit of cake, then check your yarn stash and patterns for a nice, relaxing shawl or scarf to knit. Gordon can nap or catch up on his projects for fun, and Mod R can put up her feet and read with a box/bag of chocolates–it is Halloween season now.
Moderator R says
When it comes to chocolate, my pronouns are sack/crate :D. Yay Spooky Season!

YAY! So glad it is written, will totally wait with baited breath for my kindle to deliver it at 10pm on the day before release. No sleep that night for sure. It has been amazing, once again to have the story installments every Friday. Thanks for all that you guys do to make our lives more enjoyable and giving us something to look forward to. 🙂
Ronda says
CONGRATULATIONS!! And THANK YOU for the wonderful ride so far. I am excitedly looking forward to reading the final version with the ending!
You and Gordon are so good to the BDH. No other authors do so much. And we so so so appreciate you.
Please have a wonderful relaxing break. We must ensure that HA is well taken care of! You are a national treasure.
Cynthia says

Anthony says
I am simultaneously ecstatic to read the book in final form in December, and absolutely devastated that my weekly dose of book crack is over for now. Enjoy your break!
Moderator R says
I see what you did there hehe.
BèlBlak says
Yeah, going through withdrawal myself…
so this morning at around 10 am I go: today is Friday yay, then I think, oh no more installments, but I then I remembered I have December 13 to look forward to…
It was all very circonvoluted in my head… so I figured even if there are no more installments, I’ll console myself with the blog and wait for the ebook, GA book and whatever goodies the AuthorLords will surely come up with ????????♀️
Karen P says
Yay!!! Can’t wait ☺️ and thank you ????
Lyra says
Ilona, have you watched ‘Love Between Fairy and Devil’? I’m in general curious on your thoughts on the show. I usually watch Korean shows more than Chinese, but this one has me hook (though frustrated at times).
Moderator R says
I know Ilona watched both Love Between Fairy and Devil and Love like the Galaxy, yes 🙂
Lyra says
Love like the Galaxy has only recently popped up on my suggested viewing. I’ll have to watch it next!

Digital-confetti all over the house????????????????????????????????
Stacy McKnight says
What I have read has been brilliant! I can hardly wait to read the final version – yes I have pre ordered it! I really loved Clean Sweep. I am thrilled to get twice as much . You would probably have to start writing absolute crap-it’s ok to say I know you won’t because ethics, standards, talent and skills- before I wouldn’t want more! More! MORE!
