Good Morning

Blog, Maggie 35 Comments | POST A COMMENT September 30, 2026 by Ilona

The first editorial pass of Maggie #2 has been turned in to Tor. This was a gargantuan amount of work. We are probably not going to do that again. We will need to manage our time better in the future.

We will now wait to see if Tor accepts this manuscript.

Phew. Very tired. Going to take the rest of this week to decompress a little bit and catch up on important things like sleep.

If you are one of the small amount of customers waiting on vellum – the printer has informed me that they finally got it ordered and it’s in Oklahoma right now. We will also have the substitute version that will be printed this week and should ship to us by Friday.

PS Mod R: I’ll have some exciting GraphicAudio news for you tomorrow, so please check the blog! There may even be a little something to listen to.

    Woo Hoo! Maggie’s moving forward! Hopefully further efforts won’t feel like Wile E. Coyote falling off a cliff.

    May there be lots of rest and refreshment!

    Would it help if we rested, too? I know I’m willing to try. 🙂

    And Graphic Audio news? I’ll prepare my Graphic Audio Happy Dance for tomorrow.

    Can’t wait! Your writing is exquisite. I am ruined for other authors’ works for ever. It is hard to find books I like and that match the caliber of your work. I am sure Maggi 2 will be no exception. Good luck! Can hardly wait!!

    Yeah sleep. So underestimated.

    Please rest and do chill things- knit, drink tea, play games where you kill the enemy.

    Thank you both so much. You are appreciated. ❤️💪🏽

    Congratulations! I am currently rereading Maggie 1, so this is especially welcome news. THANK YOU! I know you enjoy what you do, but I am not sure if you are clear on how much House Andrews means to us, your loyal Horde. There is never a whole month that goes by without my enjoying something you have written.

    YUS!!!! Amazing push. Rest has been hard earned, House Andrews has been BUSY!

    … that “probably” feels like something to keep an eye on.

    Gaming! Knitting! Sleeping! Tea! Woo!!!

    Glad you can take a breath. I hope it’s cooler where you are, that heat was the worst. Take some time off.

    How much time are you figuring to write Maggie 3? Your plates are full to overflowing with possibilities now, maybe sneak off to Florida for a long weekend.

    Love the extras for Maggie, and more to come!!

    Woo HOOOO!!!! Happy Dance, Happy Dance, Happy Dance! These Happy Days are yours and Miiiiine! Maggie 2 is IN!

    Congratulations and WELL DONE. Feel free to eat, sleep and be slothful for at least a week. Tea, cookies, naps…. Perhaps time away, near a beach? Or get out of the heat – do an Alaskan cruise. Or see the fall colors in the Rockies. Treat yourselves and invite the kids!

    I wish I could gift you a lovely stay at a wonderful, magical Inn with a 5 star, Red Cleaver Chef, but alas, I do not possess the magic to make that real.

    Excellent news! Have a fun and lazy small break from the grind. I wish for you it was a real vacation, but I understand that’s not in the cards for now.

    And of course we haunt the blog daily 🤣, Mod R.
