Happy Wednesday, Book Devouring Horde! Hope everyone’s week is rolling along smoothly.
I have a few admin odds and ends today and a nerdy folklore share:
House Andrews appearance – they will attend Jasmine Mas’ signing tonight at 7:00 pm at B&N Arboretum in Austin, Texas. Ilona and Gordon will be hanging out and asking Jasmine some questions about her new release, Bonds of Hercules. I believe there are still a few tickets left on Eventbrite if you’re in the area.
For readers in Australia and New Zealand: a reminder that you will not be able to see the preorder for This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me – Maggie the Undying 1 yet. This is because titles distributed through Australian publishers usually appear for preorder 3–4 months before release. Expect preorders in that region of the world to appear around December 2025.
Magic Strikes (Kate Daniels #3) in dramatized adaptation by Graphic Audio is available on promotion on the Audiobooks. com website until November 2nd. If you haven’t yet listened to the full cinematic Midnight Games rendition, you can snag it here for 50% off.
I know everyone is very eager about The Inheritance audiobook – Ilona will have an update on that for everyone soon! We’ve shared some samples previously in case you want to tease your ears with the awesomeness of our dual POV narrators, Hillary Huber and James Konicek.
And finally: I loved watching this video on folklore from medieval historian Dr Juliette Wood today. It made me think of my favourite Horde and the kind of topics we always dissect in the comment sections, so I thought you should all know about it too.
Get in the mood for (razor-free!) Halloween with Internet cryptids, mermaids vs sirens, and how the Victorians managed to shrink the fae:
Happy Halloween!
OOH! First! Something nice for today when everybody has the cold that’s going around Illinois. Earlier in the week I found vintage Flower Fairy fabric in the clearance room of my local quilt shop for under seven dollars a yard. I can fussy cut the fabric to get eight different fairies!
Monster mash first!
Thanks for all the updates! Do we know anything about the next Graphic Audio for Hidden Legacy? Or this just another one of many opportunities for me to learn patience?
We know the script is done because I edited it at the beginning of the month! Also, Alessandro has been cast, after 7 arduous casting sessions, with House Andrews’ blessing 🙌
We’re getting the Rogan POV and all the good stuff. It’s a heavy one though, final battles, Caesars, dashing male secretaries with frying pans, all the stuff – so although recording has started, there isn’t a clear release date yet for a preorder 🙂
Thanks! I know you let tell us when something is up for pre-order, but it kept now showing up and not showing up, so it’s nice to know that it’s still in process — even if it isn’t as far along as I would like. 🙂
Ok, yes. I’m basically like a small child waiting for Christmas worried that it’s NEVER going to come.
Also — love the new avatar.
I’m trying out a few 😀
Ok, this is a good one, too.
Yay for a mid-week update! I hope Ilona is continuing to heal well!
Happy soon to be Halloween! Thanks for the updates. I do miss when y’all used to come to Atlanta on tour, but I understand touring is exhausting and distracts from writing.
Either way, I’m super excited for This Kingdom!
Thanks for the exciting updates and for all of your hard work editing. Graphic Audio is my favorite and my best! I’m currently listening to their fleshed out version of The Innkeeper Chronicles and greatly enjoy having my hands free to finish up chores while still being entertained. Mom life is even better with audio books. 📚 . The video was fascinating, especially when she explained that fairies aren’t tiny and cutesy in Ireland.
PS ♡Your enchanted hat is adorable ♡
Thank you for sharing the awesome folklore video!
Wish us good luck! We are fostering (sure, sure “fostering” heh heh heh) a cat from a colony. He has to have been someone’s indoor cat years ago bc he is so loving and touchy-feels. He is also the size of a small puma (OK, slight exaggeration- but he is definitely Maine Coon sized). Hope he settles and hope he plays nicely with our 19yo Gigi.
Wish I had some Diana vibes to talk to him. Pets and treats will have to do.
p.s. that cough-y, achy, icky-feeling cold/virus is everywhere. Week No. 3 for me
