  7. It’s such a great feeling to complete something whether great or small. My small completion is finishing spring semester grades, but you have a big one crossed off now. Congratulations!!

  11. when the talk of Hugh getting his own book started I was NO, nope, noway, that scum deserves no more of our time.
    And then i read the snippets… in true Author lord fashion you sucked me in and I cared what was happening to him. Not sure how you manage it but i am eagerly awaiting this book too! You could write any thing and I would read it!
    Thank you

    • I find the longer I DON’T reread anything with Hugh in it the less scum-like he appears.

    • Once I read the first part wherein Hugh was a starved, frightened child who was rescued by Roland, I was ready for redemption. OK I must admit that even though Hugh was monstrous in Magic Breaks,his humanity was also showing. Can’t wait for his books!

  12. Happy dance, happy dance! Woo-hoo! Celebrate! Let the party begin!

    Now that’s out of my system…thank you very much for spoiling the Horde. You guys rock.

    Let the stalking of Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and any other book website begin.

    • All of a sudden I have “whoop there it is” going through my brain.

  13. Yay I’m so happy for me! I mean you… definitely you.. and me… but mostly you!! Lol ?

  14. To quote my much-missed friend Anne, (who got me started on your books!) ::happynekkiddanceofjoy:: =) Yes, she misspelled it deliberately, but it was her way of expressing her feelings of joy and accomplishment even though i’m pretty sure she never actually did a happy naked dance of joy. =)

    • She must have been from the south. Naked is the fact of being unclothed…nekkid is unclothed and up to somethin! She sounds like a good friend to have.

      And thank you Authorlords! Whoohooo!

      • Nope, she was from New York City, but yes, she was an absolutely amazing friend to have and I miss her still. =)

  15. Congrats, I am at similar stage too. Tomorrow I will receive critique to my bachelor thesis… Ouch.

    • Congrats on getting it done!
      My daughter wrote several theses (proper plural?) over her career in higher education. The big thing always was finishing the thing – she’d worry about how she did later.
      Don’t worry, hon. If you did it, you did it right. (It’s waaay too much work to do over.)

  16. Congrats! Can’t wait to read it!

    Does this mean we can expect the cover reveal any time soon???

  17. Congratulations! I have always loved the ‘bad boys’ of fiction; they are often the more interesting characters. And although you said Hugh is a bad guy (vs a bad boy), I am not so secretly hoping he can be redeemed…. you know, with the love of a good woman.. lol, a lovely fictional trope that is more difficult (impossible?) to achieve IRL. Either way, I know the BDH will not be disappointed and I am super excited to dig into this one! I am ready and waiting to push the ‘pre-order’ button….

  21. Congratulations, Authorlords! From the sneak peeks and snippets, I can’t wait to read the whole thing. Elara feels different from most heroines and could probably stand on her own. You said you planned to take a couple of weeks off when Hugh’s book was finished, but I’m not sure this is the point you meant. If it is, enjoy. However, please could you tell us what this means for Innkeeper? I just don’t want to get my hopes up too soon. (Also, I’m selfish when it comes to Maud.)

  25. Congratulations! Now I hope you can take a bit of time to relax and rejuvenate after the stress of the past several months.

  26. ??????You doing your happy dance! On the kitchen counter? Congrats. Sing at the top of your voice… I be done. Take the night off and spoil yourself. And thank you from your fan.. me.

  29. Yay! Congratulations! I can’t wait to read Hugh’s book. It will be so much fun.

    • Love the Calvin and Hobbs dance. That’s what we’re all doing.

  32. OMG yes!!! Can’t wait to read and fall in love with Hugh’s character after hating him for so long.

    And job well done on finishing it through al the stress and sicknesses!!

  35. Best April’s Fools ever! Words cannot describe how much I’m looking forward to Hugh’s story!

  36. Fantastic News!!
    My finger is ready on the button for pre-order?

    Congrats to you both!

  41. Congratulations! Finally some “no deadline” time to be enjoyed even if it’s cleaning house and giving all the pets a bath. How is kid #1 doing with her new job? R & R while you can.

  44. Hooray! Makes my day with something to happily anticipate. Swinging through the edge series again. Thanks dear talented people.

  45. I’m so looking forward to this adventure. Can’t wait to see how you make Hugh redeemable (locking Kate and Gastek in a well until almost dead – not cool) but can’t wait to read about it. I hope his lady puts him through it.

  52. Woot!!!!!????

    By the way, I’ve been trying to preorder Iron and Magic but can’t find a link. ???

  56. Hooray! (Kermit flail dance!)
    Take your time off while you can. You more than deserve it.

  57. From what you said before this is a really tight schedule. Thanks for plugging onward!

  65. Just pre-ordered the kindle version of IRON AND MAGIC and will also order the dead tree version when/if it goes live too. Hey BDH, if we try we could probably push this title into the top 100 kindle titles on pre-orders alone like we did the Hidden Legacy novella.

    Anne in Virginia

  66. I hope that you celebrate, take some time to congratulate yourselves, and then *take a break* for a little while. You really deserve one. Thank you for all that you do!

  68. I’m so excited!! Congrats on finishing!!! *throws confetti** ?

    Hey, will this only be available on kindle? There’s no listing for paperback/hardcover.

    • I was wondering about that as well! I prefer reading a book, as I spend too much time looking at computer screens as it is. Though I’ve purchased all the novellas and short stories as ebooks, some are even duplicated in paper books as well. Must support the Authorlords!!!

      • Lisa and Lisa B. check the new post by Ilona this evening. Your answers are there as well as an awesome cover reveal.

        • Thanks Patricia for the heads up! I found Ilona’s response. Whew!!! I think I’ll be able to wait for the print edition as I don’t have a Kindle. Must stay strong! Having a paper edition let’s you enjoy the awesome cover art work more! ?

  71. Happy for you guys!!! What a relief and bonus now that the house is sold too. Celebrate this Mother’s Day weekend ☺️

  73. You guys are awesome. Very grateful for all your hard work.

    Cocktails all round!

  74. Yay!!!! Whoot whoot! Chiiii!
    ??????????
    Congratulations, and thank you for another wonderful book!! Simply cannot wait to get my greedy little paws on it!! ?

    Hope you are able to get some well- earned rest now!!!

    Yippee! Can’t help it, still doing happy dance!! ?

  76. I have pre-ordered and will grab the audio also when it comes out? Thank you for continuing to provide me and your many readers with superior fun

  79. I’m looking forward to it! The cover is just, WOW, and I love that you used Stephen Colbert for your announcement!

  81. I don’t do any social media (don’t trust it) so I hope all involved read your comments here . This Is THE MOST GORGEOUS AND COMPELLING BOOK COVER EVER!!!!!!!!!!! There are no words to describe its effect.
    If I were walking through a bookstore and had never heard of you ( because I just got back from Mars, or something) I would find myself walking out of the bookstore, clutching said bagged book and thinking,
    “I don’t know why, but I just had to have it!”
    Kudos to everyone involved, especially to you and Gordon for a super spin-off. Can’t wait to read it, but I’ll give it 5 stars just for having it’s vibes in the atmosphere.
