Gordon is working on a new Rogan POV. If we give you the POV, do you think there is any possibility you will stop emailing about Hidden Legacy? Because we all know the answer is Kate 10.

PS.  RWA, Austin, tonight at 6:00 pm, Q&A.  Details are here.

    POV would be awesome. I am waiting patiently in the manner of a faithful canine companion who has heard a food package being opened but was told to sit and wait. For Kate 10 but also anything else… POV, snippet, shopping list, whatever.

      • I agree!! Need the like button! That is perfect! I patiently wait for whatever crumbs they feel fit to give me! I do wonder how they deal with the pressure knowing that there are so many people waiting for any sort of output from them.. I think I would get sick of it pretty quickly!

    • So I tapped into 1st response because . . . yeah

      my difference is, watched pots & boiling

      thanks 4 the rewards shares pats & itch scratching . . .

      U na,snips povs & the rest

  2. You don’t bug me about my job, and when I will get any given project complete, so I won’t bug you about yours. You both work very hard, and very long hours. I am always thankful of the work you do, it’s simply brilliant. I’ll be waiting for your next release date. Thank you for all you do. I love all the worlds you build, and all the people who inhabit them.

  3. Rogan POV, yeah!!!

    I’ll send you an email right away hounding you about Hidden Legacy, so that I can promise to stop hounding you and mean it!
    Or I could just continue to not hound you and promise to not start…

    Hummm, what to do??? Bother you when you’ve been so generous with your time (blogging) and words (blogging, booking*, etc…) or just wait patiently as I’ve been doing… What a conundrum…

    ;o) No I’ll just say: wow that’s a very organised and clean folder!!!! No clutter, no chances of mistaken one document for another. I’m impressed! And Chapter 8! This is looking good, although I’m guessing that you still have a way to go.

    Cheers,

    Laurence
    * Trying to make a pun, “writing book” in one verb, meh…

  6. Thank you for the POV. Love all of your work so I’m happy to wait.
    It’s a shame that there’s not some clever do dah script that could detect all questions from folk asking about HL (who may not have seen past blogs saying that your book life is currently kate 10). The clever script would then auto reply to them with a link to all the blog posts which say that there are no plans for HL/Innkeeper etc until Kate 10 is done. (In my head the clever script looks like a small cobbler gnome/elf who has found a new job inside the web as their shoe work has become mechanised…)
    *too much caffeine this morning… Must get my brain off the creatures in the internet and back to my real-world job with actualised wildlife :)*

  7. On one of the fan facebook pages, someone reminded us about that Curran POV, where he was telling Julie about his rise to Beast Lord. Will we ever get the part II to that story?
    I know you guys are busy so I will take whatever crumbs I can get from any book you have written or are currently writing.

  10. Kate 10!
    Kate 10!
    Kate 10!

    Whilst I love your other books I got hooked on Kate first so she should come first!

  12. I think all this begging from your greedy and voracious fans (myself included) is a testament to what your fans already know – that you are extremely gifted writers that also work hard and produce a quality product! Ignore the whining and begging, do what you need to do (prioritizing your busy life and full schedule), and rest assured your readers will be delighted with whatever you produce, whenever you produce it!!! Try to tune out the whining and hear the admiration and praise for your work that is behind it. Thank you for your work, thank you for sharing your talent with us, and thank you for being so accessible to your fans!! Still sending positive thoughts about closing on the Chateau and moving, as well as the stress of finishing Kate 10 on deadline with everything else going on in your lives! Hugs!!!!!!

  14. Listening to Keith Urban at the moment “I just want a little bit of everything nahnahnahnah, nahnahnahnah” sums it up pretty well. Have you thought of channeling Desandra and yelling “COOL YOUR TITS!” ? we’d totally get it. Yeah I know Kate 10 🙂

  15. It would slow the begging down for a day. Two for the slow readers. So what is it worth for you for a day of peace and quiet… 😀

  19. LOL, choked on coffee. Cat hiding under table in a huff. Rogan POV, huzzah! New house, huzzah! Kate 10 huzzah! Why are people emailing about Hidden Legacy? You gave us not one but two HL novels this year. They are like Diamond Jim Brady at Delmonico’s.

  20. lol! Too freaking funny! I like to drink out of a Shakespearean Insults mug when I’m not using my favorite yellow one. 😉

  23. I am SO CONFUSED! I thought the answer was Hugh, Kate 10, then a year off to do whatever you wanted….maybe…

    it went from Kate 10, and only Kate 10 blog post, to a comment under the same thing from Gordon that said Kate 10 was pushed back to August, so Hugh was coming out first, then Kate 10.

    Now it’s back to Kate 10?

    Mind = jelly…

    It gives me peanut butter, it does this whenever it’s told!

    • Justin, we are working on Kate 10 because we are contractually obligated to deliver it. It does not mean that Kate 10 will be published before Hugh. It means that right now we are working on Kate 10.

  27. Not sure why I got an error before, but yes, would love a Rogan POV. suffering serious Hidden Legacy withdrawals. Don’t suppose it could be Rogan taking Nevada to meet his mother? really want to see that meeting!

    • I want to see Rogan when Arabella dives out of his copter and transforms. Then going on thru when he calls to ask the Keeper to move up the trials.

  29. *starts salivating for Rogan POV* *sits up straighter* *scours the internet to see if my good behavior has paid off yet* *not yet?* *ok, sits up straighter AND smiles* *how about now?*

    Waiting can be so hard, but you guys make it easy. I feel so spoiled. Thank you Thank you Thank you!
