  8. The last time you mentioned was 4-19-2014, and it was only as a potential thing. I only know this because i save emails, and don’t go back and delete them…

    • I see a mention on September 3, 2014 as well. (I also fail to delete any and all emails.) I’ll keep looking.

  13. That would be great to get a Jim POV. I know not everyone likes his character but I do 🙂

  14. Nope. You didn’t. I’m so happy to know that something like that exists though, you just made my day ❤️

  18. *gasps* there was an inkling thought floating bout in authorlords minds?
    Yes please, that would be delightful POV. Jim with his air of menace.

  21. I don’t recall seeing this; but I would LOVE to see a Jim POV story! And if it’s appropriate to ask (and though it might be unpopular), I’d love to see a Roland POV- just because I always like to see what makes the ‘bad guy’ tick.

    • +1
      Yes! I love “other” voices in stories I’ve read – or not read, for that matter.

  26. Look. Jim is the father of my children. Don’t play with me like this. I would remember if you had.

  29. No, I’m sure I would remember it if that was the case. I remember you posted one where Jim and Curran talk about Kate’s origins. Good luck with the socuments 😉

  32. Are you trying to cause a riot?
    No you never –
    Would you please, pretty please with extra please on top?

  34. Nope, no, nada, nyet to you and Gordon posting Jim’s POV when Curran abdicated. Would love to read it, especially Dali’s response to Jim’s freaking out. 😀

  36. No, I would remember that. If it exists and you want to treat us , we would be very happy.
    Thank you, and Hi to Brandi B . I know she has been very busy , but I love her posts.

  37. This is a little off topic, but I wasn’t Gordon writing a Rogan perspective a while back? Did that happen for was I dreaming it up haha?

    And I’d love to see the Jim POV!

  39. Seconding all. No, haven’t seen – and I’ve tracked blogs for past year and your posted “outtakes” and “short fictions.”
    Would LOVE to see the world through Jim’s eyes – you’ve developed his character enough (from the Kate / Curran POV) that getting inside his head would be REALLY interesting!

  40. Not that I know of…. So not a Jim fan, but I would love to read his point of view of Curran’s abdication…

  42. No but I wish you would because I love Jim. I laughed so hard when he snapped his clipboard in half and quit his job. Laughed my ass off.

  46. Oh, now you’ve done it. The whining, begging, and puppy-dog eyes (mine included) will never stop until this extra (?) is posted.
    If you can’t find it, you’ll have to reproduce it – At which time, you will remember what you did with it and where it is.
    No matter what, it is a win for the BDH.
    Thank you, thank you.

  47. I am now envisioning an alternate universe where every snippet and POV the BDH has ever dreamed and desired exists, waiting to be read, if only the Authorlords can complete the quest to find the key that unlocks access to The treasure trove of Socuments in Drive C.

    • Ah, perhaps the ARC lottery was a secret recruiting drive for the mythical quest to the treasure trove of archived scenes, more valuable than the hoards of any dragon, goblin, or djinn.

  48. You definitely didn’t post it. But, if it is available to post I would love to read it.

  54. I sure don’t remember it…and I really think I would…….but then again – I can’t remember where I left my keys yesterday.

    • Ditto. But my husband has never let me forget the time I put my keys and wallet in the fridge….

      • Oh my gosh… I did the same thing once. Couldn’t find them for ages the next day which resulted in me beeing late for school…

      • My old roommate would intentionally put her keys on her prepared lunch in the fridge for work the next day so as not to forget it :). I, on the other hand, know I’m in a bad place when I loose my phone on top of a refrigerator, any will do, work, home, public cafeteria, & can only find it when playing the sonar “find my iPhone” clang of doom.

      • My husband once put his keys in the freezer. Then there was the time we couldn’t find them for six MONTHS and I found them when I reorganized the linen closet, tucked in a clay mug that had been someone’s school project.

        And yes, PLEASE give us Jim’s POV!!!!!

    • Yep. My memory is mush. But Kate Daniels’ world is my fave…..And I have no memory of Jim’s POV.

  56. Never saw it, wanna read it, wish it was included in the Julie and Derek and Erra book I wish you’d write….the only time I disliked Julie was in the novella where she was attending boarding school. Felt too manga-y for my tastes. Julie at the office, Julie on a battlefield, Derek just about anywhere would be much more interesting.

  59. No
    Mentioned when others moved to Curran’s subdivision and when his mate brought him around to apologize. But no actual pov

  63. Never read that one.
    I wonder about “grey wolf” series with Derek and Julie….did not end up doing well enough?
    Wonder about Julie eye switcheroo. Part of the canon or just a fun snippet?

    we have Jim’s POV I sappily hope we also eventually see Dali and Jim as parents, perhaps of too many kids? Cause Dali had a lot of magical parenting bliss ideas and not enough oatmeal bowl hats, poop explosions, and the discovery of NO.

    I want to read about Erra telling Hugh how they are related.
    I want Steve West and his other identities to read all male characters always

    I want endless Conlan stories. Conlan just brings back so many funny, delightful, frustrating memories of parenting.

        • It has to do with Roland forging the blood bond with Hugh, the way Kate forged one with Julie. Because of the blood bond, Hugh and Kate claim to be siblings, and Julie and Conan are also siblings. That makes Semiramis (Erra and Roland/Nimrod’s mother) Hugh’s grandmother.

          • It’s also possible that they were already related. Remember how strongly Hugh’s magic broadcast when he was a child. No one had taught him to mask it. And it was healing magic. Where did it come from? Roland and Erra are not certainties, but they are certainly possibilities.

          • In Iron and Magic Hugh discovers he can make blood armor, which only Roland relatives can do. Roland fled when, which Roland tried to recruit him back to his side, Hugh rejected him and then showed he still had the blood control ability.
            Also as noted as Julie and Erra ride off to move Grandmother’s Bones Julie asks if they should stop and get Hugh to come along. Erra says the Boy will eventually “have to meet his grandmother” but not ready yet and his wife would object at this time.

  65. Love that people think this is a what would you like us to write post. ?‍♀️ Feel like I have read a Jim snippet around the abdication (but maybe it was just from currants POV?? ) but no idea when or where.

  67. The closest thing I remember to a Jim POW was the Twitter rounds about the Conlon’s gift for his first birthday. I still get the giggles about the saddle and cowboy hat.

  68. There wasn’t one. I remember the Twitter thing as well but otherwise we got nothing from Jim and I would sooo love to! 🙂

  70. Please please can you put it and Curran POV in print. I love to go back and Re read all of Kate’s world while waiting on a new book.

  72. As everybody, it rang a distant bell because you had mentioned wanting to post something about this, but I don’t recall every reading it.
    And it would be nice, because for the moment Jim is not my favorite person at all, I think of him as a sort of douche-bag, so that could be a nice change of perspective.

    Cheers,

    Laurence

    • Agree. I really didn’t like Jim at all later in the books, so having his perspective would be good. When Kate realizes that Jim really doesn’t care about anyone but Dali, that was a bummer. Maybe it would be romantic from a Jim POV, but from the world perspective, it made him a pretty shitty friend in my opinion.

        • Sorry to say, I agree. Jim started off as someone who would vouch for a for a friend who was not pack, but ended up seeing and acting as if Kate’s existence was a threat to the the pack and that anyone who was not pack was garbage. He was a bad friend and became an isolated, mfpga (make the free people great again)sort of leader.

    • Yeah, he was a disappointment. We want the oldest friends to be our best/strongest supporters. In Jim’s case he turned out to be the friend that becomes a jackazz, but we keep them as a friend because of the long history. The many, many times he didn’t support Kate- (jim let the pack attack her again and again) no matter how long Curran knew him, that doesn’t make up for his deficiencies as a person.

  76. That would be awesome! I don’t recall seeing anything for a Jim POV, but sadly I would not be a valuable source, I tend to miss, lose and forget a lot…sigh. Now that it has been brought up I will be looking/waiting for it anxiously!!

  81. I have what you titled Curran Prequel POV Part 1. It is where Curran, Kate, and Julie have packed up their belongings from The Keep and are moving into their new house. If there was a Part 2 or a Jim POV I don’t have it. Do you want the Curran POV? I have it saved in email but when I press the link it does not come up on the website

  82. I tried searching, and couldn’t find it. There was a post from 2014 saying that Gordon was working on it. It was the Hidden Legacy goes live post, or something like that.
    I don’t know if that helps.

  84. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE POST THE JIM POV!!!

    I live for Kate Daniels. It’s my reason for living. I’m so glad you guys have so many other amazing series and books, but Kate Daniels was my gateway to the BDH and to your writing. She’s my everything. I have been down since the series ended and only your others works have saved me, BUT I’d pay any amount of money or sexual favours ;), ANYTHING for any more of the Kate Daniels world. And what about the Barabas POV you mentioned about? A sort of epilogue to the series and characters? Do you still plan on doing that? I’d LOVE to read it. Please, for all that is holy. I beg you give more Kate & Co. It’s such a light in my life.

    Thank you so much for all that you do, I really don’t mean to sound ungrateful. I’m sooooo deeply grateful for all your works and this blog. You are my heroes! <3

  85. Hello! I know Curran POV and Father and Son POV were posted. (Have both in my archive) No Jim POV, though….

    • Liz , a Curran POV and a Father and Son one? You mean a Colan/Curran POV? How did I miss that? That’s pure GOLD. Could you please link it to me/here? I’d be forever grateful!

      Thanks!

  86. the only pov i remember of jim was where he helped dali. that was also where we learned dali wanted jim and they got together in the end of it. if there was a second jim pov i dont remember seeing one

    sorry for the grammar
