Once upon a time, there was a viral ferret video…

A certain Horde I know and love saw this and then decided their fellow BDH and House Andrews had to see it too.

So they shared it. And they shared it some more. Approximately 18 times an hour across email, Facebook, Instagram, and some very impressive astral projection straight to Nav.

I’m here to officially confirm the electricity ferret has been witnessed hehe. You may now stand down. You have done your duty. The message has been received. Please rest your weary sharing fingers.

As a thank-you for your understanding, the very generous House Andrews have written us a brand-new Hidden Legacy world snippet inspired by electrical ferrets and the Horde’s undaunted enthusiasm. Welcome Marty!

The electrical ferret will live on in our hearts (and forever in my notifications).

  1. Love this snippet!

    Not to be needy or anything, but it is Thanksgiving and the kids are home. I just reread Kid 2s It All Runs in the Family and am now very invested in the Cowls.

    If any other snippets pop up, or if the BDH can be directed, I bet we would all love to read more…

  4. That was lovely! And since I’m rereading the books right now, totally appropriate for me! Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!

  9. Definitely onions! There is no other explanation for the tears in my eyes.
    What a beautiful snippet, thank you. 😍

  11. Onions, because I’m not crying, you are crying!
    Great snippet, thank you.
    A great day of thanks and gratitude to all.

  14. Very nice, even though I do not know these people. If they are Baylor related then they are fine with me. Interesting use of ferrets.

    • Cornelius, the animal mage, and his daughter Matilda, also an animal mage. Cornelius ran the Great Ferret Heist in Nevada Baylor’s Hidden Legacy series (books 2 & 3), and then started working in the family’s detective firm.

  15. Happy Thanksgiving. The snippets are wonderful and cry worthy. Thanks to Ilona and Gordon and ModR. Books (old and new), snippets and Blog remarks from everyone make such wonderful reading and thought worthy. Thanks everyone.

  16. Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for the heartwarming snippet. What a lovely little story. It didn’t make me cry, but some of the comments from the BDH did. I too remember the safe feeling of being around my dad. I’m missing him and my mama today especially. I’m very thankful I had them in my life.

    I hope you keep treating us with wonderful snippets. They give us so much pleasure. Thank you again.

  17. Is the uncle Cornelius and Diana’s brother? Or the maternal side. Sounds like the brother but you never know

  20. Ferrets are extremely intelligent. The gov has used them in the past. Ferrets die young because of diet. They need an extremely high protein and not cat food. I had one the vet aged at 25 He died at 27. The vet in Florida is a specialist on ferrets and taught me a lot with mine.

  23. Nope not a fan of the video. When he pushes the ferret down the hole, and the ferret was trying to push back to not go in the hole, and the man pushed him down into it anyways, that was the moment I said nope bad video. Don’t force the ferret to do human stuff it doesn’t need to be doing. There are tools and other ways to run the line.

  25. Awwww.

    As for the vid, thanks for posting it. I must be one of few Horde who didn’t know it even existed.

  26. Matilda and uncle wolf! Would love to see it. Loved the snippet and Matilda’s viewpoint was adorable.

  27. Meanwhile there’s also headlines like this: “Swedish firm deploys crows to pick up cigarette butts”

    In case that gives more ideas for House Harrison snippets… *whistles innocently*

    Happy Thanksgiving, and thank you for the snippet.

  31. Speaking of a tangential question…
    Will there ever be a position on your website that lists the anthologies that House Andrews has been part of?

  32. The aftermath of the Loss of a Loved one.
    Exquisitely done 🤗
    Thank You For Sharing Your Genius With Us!

  33. The story made me cry a bit. It was not a bad sort of cry. Just an swell of emotion for a little girl who misses her mommy.
    Nicely done.

  35. thank you for the snippet*ferrets 😍😍 I knew nothing about the electrician ferrets video so thank you for sharing that too. four days of forgetting to check emails and is all going on! 😆

  36. My parents did something similar with our cat Panther. Tied a string around his neck, popped him into one hole in a wall, headed over to another hole and called him. Untied thread, tied it to conduit and pulled it back through.

  40. I enjoyed this snippet. It is strengthening my belief that Matilda knows what is happening, but, knowing HA can hand us the rope to trip ourselves with, I am trying watch my step. Matilda has the help of all the creatures in the compound, so beware.

  43. Thank you for the lovely sweet read!
    Thanks for all the glorious adventurous and simultaneously comforting stories. May we all be surrounded by supportive and understanding love like Mathilda. May we also all give ourselves permission to try hard things and stop doing them if they are too painful. I am eternally grateful for choices. They are a great luxury.

    Happy Holidays to everyone from unexpectedly snow bound Milwaukee!

  45. I enjoyed this snippet so much! Bittersweet, tender and it just made me feel. Than you! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

  46. I do love this world. At Thanksgiving my sister asked when there would be another Innkeeper. I love those too, but HL more.

  48. Great snippet!!

    I love all the Baylors and their extended family (which includes everyone who lives on the compound as well as some who do not) so much.

    Matilda is fascinating and I hope to read her grown-up adventures one day. See, in my head there will be three Arabella books (with maybe a transitional novella between Catalina’s last book and the start of Arabella’s), also an Augustine novella (or novel) and possible sequels for that, then Leon’s book(s) because you KNOW we need to see him get his true love, then Matilda’s books, and we just go on and on into forever. Arthur will be old enough to be a POV character one day…

    I know, I know. TYPICAL Horde behavior! You give us a fun snippet and we confabulate that into a whole series of new novels as if you announced them in a press release! 🙂

    For now, great snippet! THANK YOU!

  51. Lovely snippet! Thank you HA. Matilda is such an interesting girl. I really enjoy checking in with her life.

  53. I need more of Cornelius, we need side novellas about his family. Them becoming closer, wasn’t his sister dating Augustine. He has a brother too, I need to read about him, what does he do. They all need to find love lol. It could be a trilogy 3 siblings.
