Magic Tides, the first of the Kate Daniels: Wilmington Years novellas, is getting released in dramatized adaptation by Graphic Audio on August 31st, and boy, do I have GOODIES.
Graphic Audio have released three official samples of Magic Tides. I have four, plus outtakes. It’s good to be Mod R ::preens::.
Oh hello, Conlan!
Kate, Curran and Conlan may have left Atlanta. Curran may have stepped down from the Pack. They may insist they are just normal people now. Honey badger Keelan don’t care – about any of that.
Those are his Beast Lord and Consort, and THEY LIVE HERE NOW ::bounce bounce bounce through the corn field::. Witness his Tigger-level excitement:
Some of you may remember that we used to get GraphicAudio bloopers before the company changed policy. The amazing Nora snuck me some outtakes of Delton Engle-Sorrell, and it’s like Keelan manifested in that booth hehe.
In her words:
“For you and the Horde — sixty seconds of Keelan subtext! A full minute of inner monologues! Delton Engle-Sorrell’s recording session was too much fun not to share more.“
That red puddle by your foot isn’t strawberry syrup. Kate’s low profile is going splendidly:
Kraken Rain, Kraaaaaken Raaaain (Prince would approve!):
Next Monday cannot come soon enough! Once again, here is the landing page with links to the preorder on Graphic Audio as well as several other third-party retailers (Apple Books, B&N, Google Play, Libro, Spotify etc) and the library links (Hoopla, Overdrive).
Magic Clams, Wilmington Years 2, is next in the GA queue, with release on November 13th and a preorder that is already live.
And then BLOOD HEIR, with an amazing script that I just finished annotating, and including all the trimmings (King of Fire, and Grand Master Angevin‘s report). That will take a few months to record and cast, but I will share the preorder and news ASAP.
We have so much to look forward to!
First?!?
Ok, actually read Mod R’s news. I can’t wait for next week. Thank you Mod R and Nora for your wonderful feeding of the Horde.
First of the week’s Firsts 😀
Yay! These releases are so very exciting! Loved the bloopers!
Thank you for the updates. However is there any word on the audible for Beast Business? My senior mom who is a die hard Hidden Legacy fan asks every week. Thanks!
No news, I’m afraid, there are admin distributions negotiations taking place and no resolution at the moment.
::still beaming out hope:: I’ve re-read it twice since the day I posted about it on Facebook but I’m still chalant on that one. Not sure why, I’m fine waiting for the rest, but I wants the Beast Business audio like “My Precious…” =)
good news! Thank you!
Mod R – thank you!!! So glad I was not drinking my coffee while listening to the Bloopers – this guy is hilarious!!!
Question – do we know when Magic Claims will be available for preorder through other options? (Audible, Apple, etc.)
I’ll ask – usually we get GA to speed it up for us.
Update: they should be up by next Monday 🙂
Thank you!!
Took a mouthful of juice while listening to Keelan outtakes.
Now have a table covered in juice!
that was sooooo satisfying!
I’m listening to Sapphire Flames now. It will be an embarrassment of riches!!
You are the best Mod R – thank you!! I loved all the clips – so excited for the 31st!
Loved Keelan’s giggle out in the corn 🤣🤣. And the plop plop plop plop of kraken rain was a hoot. Thanks for these! Perked up a Monday morning that’s only 88oF at 10:23 in the morning. And they’ve downgraded us to 100o today! Joy!🤪
Shhhh – don’t tell anyone but I don’t listen to GA books (I want all the words!) but the Keenan outtake was AWESOME! His mind is a crazy scary place – like a fun house!
I would buy the GA version just for Delton Engle-Sorrell’s version of Keelan!
But honestly I love everything Kate and Curran!
I’m laughing so hard after hearing all that. I love the music for Keelan in the background. Thanks for the strawberry syrup section. The guy who portrays Captain Scully was a winner.
Besides “Kraken Rain”, we also have “Kraken keep falling on my head”. Music from “Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head”.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s going to be hilarious to listen to the conversation between Kate and Hugh.
Thanks Mod R for all the news and yummy stuff!
Delton Engle-Sorrell is Keelan. No one else will do after all that. It’s like Steve West voicing Hugh.
Hold on Horde, Keelan is coming! Whee!
All hail Mod R for her beneficence in sharing treasure!
grinning – thank you – love GA
I really really looked for Keelan but i missed him in the books, where does he first appear?
In Magic Tides 🙂
I love the Keelan voice and the actor’s glee over voicing him! That was hilarious.
Love it ❤️‼️
Can’t wait till it’s out 😃
Arrgh – I’m at work and have to w**t to listen. Thanks Mod R for getting us all of the goodies!!!
Like Keelan, I need a moment. Whee!
Can’t wait to listen to all of the upcoming Graphic Audio productions of well loved Ilona Andrews novellas and books.
That Keelan outtake just made my day!!! Thank you Nora & Mod R!
Blood Heir! Thank you!!!!
LOL! That is awesome. I don’t usually go for the abridged GA adaptations of IA books, because I know them too well so when something is skipped I find it jarring, like ‘wait, this line is supposed to come later, where’s the other bit?’
But this is just too good to pass up. Keelan sound absolutely hilarious!
Finally there is hope that we will get GA for Blood Heir!!!!
There is certainty that we will get Blood Heir 🙂
I love Keelan so much in these books!! Delton Engle-Sorrell is PERFECT and I love the bloopers even more which i didn’t think is possible. Thank you Mod R and Nora!!
Yes! I’ve been waiting for Keelan! He makes me laugh. The casting was *chef’s kiss* 🤌. 🥳
Thank you, Nora, for the extra bit! 🤗
Mod R, did you offer the title Magic Clams on purpose above 😂?
If so, well played. I’m still referring to Magic Claims that way sometimes. Thanks for all the good news.
Ha! I’m not the only one to notice Mod. R’s typo/trolling of the Horde. For anyone who missed it, the first 2 words in the third paragraph from the bottom are “Magic Clams”. Innocent accident or Mod. R making sure we know she’s one of us? Hmmm…
The Horde claims the clams and the tides!
See what I did Mod R? 😉😁
Fantastic – we received sooo many goodies today! Thank you!!
A great way to start the week:)
A great way to spice up a Monday. I love Keelan so much, his celebration in the field is amazing. Listening to Delton Engle-Sorrell have fun as him in the both was something I didn’t know I needed.
I’ve been ready for this release since the last Kate Daniels GA release. The wait for next week is killing me haha
Oh man, the Wilmington Years are some of my favorites in Kate’s universe. I bought all of GA’s Kate series in December and made it to middle of Book 7 when Maggie came out. I took a break then and forgot to get back to it! I need to finish it before 11/31 so I can listen to Tides and Claims back to back.
The “problem” with Kate Daniels though is I can never start in the middle. Every time I try, I just want to go back to the beginning and read it all the way through! The series is TOO GOOD.
Completely agree on the back to back Tides and Claims… that’s what I’ll do. And ditto on Kate’s books.
I have them all (ebooks and GA) but considering buying the French editions (they are releasing them by two which is great!)… seriously considering… shipping costs though…
So many decisions…sigh 😞
Love it!!! Keelan is awesome.
Question: isn’t Keelan a werewolf not a honey badger? That’s Dolittle, right?
“Honey badger don’t care” is a well known meme. The reson honey badger is crossed out in the text is because Keelan is a werewolf.
I thought book two is called magic clams! they’re by the ocean so I thought maybe? LOL
Woohooo, what a wonderful trove of good news… it’s good to be Horde this Monday.
Thank you Mod R.
Any news on next Hidden Legacy GA adaptation (Catalina’s books?)
The director of the Catalina books has been called into another project, so Emerald Blaze will be a couple of months later than the usual rhythm.
Good to know!
Thank you
Squeeeeeee! so ready for this!
I’ve started listening to the Graphic Audio books and they are AMAZING!!
Magic Clams😆
I am big sad that my mug is missing. I’ve been told it was somewhere in one of our cupboards
Can’t wait!
Thanks!
So excited for more Kate! I loved these books and GA is my go to for audiobooks.
SO looking forward to Monday!! 😁
Exploding Kraaken! I love it!
Love! Cannot wait! Thank you! You are the best!
OMG! Keelan! Perfect!
Thanks for the out takes for Keelan! It is GREAT when the actors enjoy bringing the characters we love to life!
OMG!! I am pogoing just like Keelan🤩So happy for all the good goodies!!
Very excited, and can’t w**t(sorry for swearing).
I feel like Keelan when I say, House Andrews is so good to us!! 😂
I now want lots and lots of Keelan in future stories just so I can hear this voice actor go wild. He was having such fun. Or a lot of this voice actor in any of the ANDREWS other stories. He is hysterical. Thank you so much Mod R
OMG BLOOD HEIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Keelan!! And I love the bloopers! Thank you!
Magic Clams? Don’t remember that one.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
horde level excitement on all of the GA goodies and new release updates 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Sqweeee!! I’m soooo excited about this book!! 😆
Whoo hoo! We’ll get to there the telephone call with Hugh!!!!!
🦪🦪🦪🦪
Absolutely loved the sample audio pieces & the bloopers. Always got a hoot out of Keelan & the cornfield. Plus the exploding Kraken 😁 😁
Thank you so much.
Squeeee
OMG I cannot contain myself over here. I’ve always loved Keelan, but now he’s even MORE adorable! Mr Engle-Sorrell is so freakin LOVELY as Keelan! Very Tigger vibes. I heart him so much!!!!
😲 that was the best! I can’t wait to hear it in full.
The report to the Grand Master is a favorite of mine.
Keelan is perfect.
The Kate photo reminds me of a question I’ve always wanted to ask. Since there has been different cover art for the Kate Daniels series over time, do Ilona and Gordon have a particular favorite version of Kate? Is there one that looks the most like Kate in their imaginations?
Hurrah! This takes the edge off the Emerald Fire chalance ( which is out of hand, just saying)
I think I will look at these again when I have 2 different trips up to Montreal and back next year. 4 hours one way. Not happy with any of the online radio choices. I will just have to figure out how to listen to them But they sound great!
I already have an audio copy but I might need to get this as well, it sounds so good
thank you for sharing the wonderful goodies!
Thank you Mod R!! Huge thank you to Nora for giving us the outtakes. Also I desperately feel like GraphicAudio should revisit their outtake policy. Because their outtakes are AMAZING and I would pay money just for them. And I’m not actually joking. Nora – if by chance you are reading this – you do an amazing job. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Also: 1) Kate absolutely has no idea how to be low profile and it’s amazing. And I thought Cuddles was a hybrid?
2)Magic Clams 🤣. Is it bad that I don’t think of it as Magic Claims but Magic Clams instead?
OMG, I can’t stop laughing – those outtakes are hilarious! Thank you, Mod R and Nora!
Love the graphic audio books, will preorder ,this is great, thanks
GA & talent did a remarkable job especially in the kraken encounter and Kate firing up the “power word” super otherworldly & POWER words!
Searched the comments & I was surprised people didn’t have any comments regarding it.
Thanks for the share … the VA (Delton) for Keelan definitely sounds like he is having a blast.
Also good timing – GA is having a 50% off sale right now so I did a pre-order for the very first time!
(I normally don’t pre-order anything)
I am really looking forward to this. I’ve read the book. I’ve listened to the regular audio and now I’m ready for the GA version. This is my go to series, when I can’t find anything else of interest, which is more often than you would think😊
I literally do look at these sales as aspirational survival goals to get me through the frustrations of chronic illness. It’s very helpful to have them spread out like this so I have short term incentives. Plus when they come out through Graphic Audio I can share them with my husband, Dave.
I’ve been counting down the days! Thanks for this hilarious appetizer. This is my favorite image of Kate. It fits Kurran’s (sp?) description when he first saw her in the “here Kitty Kitty” chapter. Thanks for the dhared
Keenan FTW – OMG, the voice actor’s glee is wonderful to hear. Thanks so much for sharing!
BLOOD HEIR IS COMING!!! YAAAAYYYYY!
Magic Clams? Tasty!
Yay for Magic Clams- yup. I caught that! 😉😂
Oh such a Happy Monday Morning that starts with a Treat Assessment! Yea!!!!!
I absolutely loved Blood Heir!!! I have been wanted that story to continue. Julie and Derek need something, if not closure. I am not normally an audio fan, but if this is what I’m getting, I will take it!
When will the 3rd Kate Daniels Williamsburg series be available? in 26 or 2027?
Another question: Where can I purchase Merchandise for the Kate Daniels series?
I’ve read this series so much I’m craving third book
and hopefully a POV from Curran or Colin Kate al n so
I’m so glad you like the Wilmington Years series! It is currently being adapted by Graphic Audio as full-cast dramatisations, which you might enjoy ☺️

I finally got around to listening to this and Keelan just cracked me up. “Lavender and some rosemary…” So funny! Cuddles and her “funsies” also very amusing. So very glad I pre-ordered this.
Hi, I was listening to the Graphic Audio version of Magic Tides tonight and the scene where Conlan killed the wereboars(hogs) and the discussion after caught my attention. (I have also just recently watched The Odyssey which spurred the connection.) It was such a quick snippet in the book that I missed it every time I’ve read it before. But listening to it tonight, I immediately thought of Circe when Jinx said the local witch turned them into pigs to have their outsides match their insides. I have probably listened to ALL of your books 10 times each but I never made this connection even though I know so much of your work is based in history/mythology. I absolutely love that you include such amazing detail in your books but also have these few sentences that can also be so meaningful. Your books have taught me so much, encouraged me to learn more, gotten me through really hard times more than once, and made me laugh when I thought I couldn’t. Thank you so much for all you do to not only entertain us, but educate us as well!
