  1. for you, House Andrews, i will leave my internet suspicion behind and click on a mysterious link!

    Is a graphic novel really coming??

    Are the comments locked or am i first?

  3. Oh.My.Goodness.
    Are you making a webtoon of the Innkeeper ????? ????????????????????????????????????
    Seriously hope that’s the case !! I love this story so much, Dina and her univers so much, can’t wait to know what it is ????????????
    PS: whatever it is I’m 100% sure I’ll love it ’cause you’re amazing héhé ????

  6. I think it’s a graphic novel deal in the works. I hope! Re-reading Innkeeper is getting me through ACL + meniscus surgery recovery. On Day 4, so things are better than Day 1 (which was horrible).

    • I’ve done that surgery – it gets easier I promise!! As someone else noted, make sure you do your exercises several times a day, see PT frequently, and use lots of ice!!

      • Speedy recovery. Just finished re-reading Innkeeper 1-4 for the Nth time and wondered if anyone else is hungry for the scene where Maud is questioned about riding the Attura and Arland realizes what a prize he’s been sitting on? Sorry, that was a bit of a run-on!

    • Ugh – had that surgery and my saving grace was the cold water pump connected to a small ice cooler I referred to as my “boyfriend” – as he was the one thing I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.

  9. I am rereading all the innkeepers (just the novella left to read today) prepping for it holiday Innkeeper treat you have hinted at – can’t wait! And this image is such a tease!

    • Online comics/graphic novels basically. Mostly Asian created as a number of them are based on Asian novels. Made popular internationally through smart phones! Bunch of apps that allow you to read them online.

      Often times episodes will come out periodically but you can pay “coins” to see episodes sooner.

      Google Webtoons and you will find a treasure trove of awesomeness to read! 🙂

    • If you love the absurd, take a look at Girl Genius – a web comic by Phil & Kaja Foglio. They have at least years of posting 3 times a week. (Sorry, I’m too lazy to look it up, but many, many.) If I remember correctly, it’s girlgenius.net.

      Phil is a long time comic artist and the series started out in print, but later went digital. (I actually started out with the print versions and still get the hardcopy “novel” published each year.)

      • yes…. but as a serial it just keeps going and going…
        I love it, but sometimes when I go back looking for information I’m shocked SHOCKED! to see how many years ago that material was published.
        The story started in 2002, we’re coming up on the 19th anniversary and there are so many subplots in play… at 150 pages a year it’s going to be 2060 before we know how the Winslow fits into Agatha’s story.

    • Webtoon is a website for comics, most comics there are in longstrip format ie you scroll down to read through a chapter because the next image is below the current one. (Good format for smartphone reading I suppose but also how I read manga, though that is part habit from using it to avoid load times.) Longstrip often is made up off rather long images, the image linked has a high length to width ratio which is why I am guessing everyone is guessing webtoon.

  16. Doing a happy dance. I look forward to whatever this is. Thank you for feeding the horde on this rainy Monday.

  17. Don’t even know wha a webtoon is, but you can have all my coins as soon as I check the couch! Or Graphic Novel (Classier, I think, than Comic Book). I will buy either, or, knowing me, both.

  19. It’s beautiful, whatever it is.
    If it shows up in print or digital format, I would love to hand over money!
    Please don’t tease us too long…

  26. DUDE!!!! THIS IS AMAZEBALLS!!!!
    Also you love messing with us don’t cha.
    I mean I don’t know if this is a graphic novel a webtoon or what!
    Still super excited though.

  34. What a tease. ????

    Could it be that we’re finally going to know what happened to Dina’s parents? ????

  37. I would love anything InnKeeper related. Pictures, words, sentences, postcards. Anything PLEASE!!!!!

  40. My daughter, in her teenage angst, has gone from being an avid reader to only reading Manga and graphic novels….. I would love to introduce her to the beautiful world of house Andrews!

  43. Why am I imagining Ilona cackling in glee as she clicks the keys to release this post while Gordon stands behind her sipping a coffee and shaking his head. Imaginary Ilona now rubs her hands in imitation of a Bond villain while whispering, “let the comments roll”.

    Meanwhile ModR is taking bets on the most guessed hypothesis.
    Currently running 10:1 in favour of Webtune. ????

    • I can also picture Gordon say “I want to tell them what it is, but I know if I do I’ll be in big trouble with Ilona.”

      ::Ilona in the other room saying in a very loud voice, “Don’t tell them anything!”::

      Mod R just sits back, smiles, and laughs at the BDH’s speculations.

      To be continued…

    • Exactly. I can see her sitting there thinking – Let’s stir that BDH pot and see what happens.

  48. CS. Can’t be Clean Sweep as a title, since that was the first book. Unless the first book is being turned into this comic. Now I’m trying to think of all words that start with “C” and that would go with “Sweep” (Cosmic Sweep?).

  49. whatever it is, I’m in! I really like a lot of graphic novels out there. Know nothing whatsoever about webtoons, altho I do follow several web comics.

  51. Well, i trusted you and clicked on the click me prompt which I don’t do.

    Thank you, Ilona Andrews for the fantastic picture.

  52. I just jumped and screeched so loud my husband comes in and then rolls his eyes. He turns mumbling about my book addiction.

  53. I would absolutely buy every graphic novel from any of your series, if any were to be released!

    If not, it’s still a gorgeous graphic that I’m in love with.

  57. . . . . this looks like manga
    . . . . is there an Innkeeper graphic series in the works?
    I will buy all of them, all of them. To say I am excited is an intense understatement. the Innkeeper series and the protagonist are my most favorite of all your works. Thank you 😀

  58. If this is what I think it is: OMG OMG OMG!!
    If this isn’t what it looks like: Aw what a nice reference.

  65. ????????????????????????????????????
    I really hope this is exactly what it looks like and we’re getting an Innkeeper graphic novel / webtoon.

    All my love to House Andrews!

  66. oh baby!!!!! YAASSSSSSSS!!! Webtoon would be epic, but I’m ecstatic for any and everything! Super duper squee!

  68. Wow! Love the image. Webtoon and maybe a graphic novel compilation…? (Not sure how webtoons work.) Would be amazing!!! Cannot wait to see how the images match what is already in my imagination.

  69. Just wondering, is this the project with one of the kids? I just remember a post several months back mentioning they were going to work on a book project with one of the kids, but I haven’t seen a mention of it since. It seems like something the kids would be interested in.

  71. Is this a THING? Is it a NEW THING???? or is it awesome art work that mostly lives in someone brain and we won’t get more.

  80. Looks nice, from the length to width ratio I assume the comments that are guessing a web thing are right.

  88. If it’s a WEBTOON like everyone says I’m all for it!! That’s all I’m reading nowadays. Please make all your novels WEBTOON, would be so awesome!!

  94. Now, for the less up to date members of the BDH, which I count myself amongst: what _is_ a webtoon? Besides, obviously, awesome and amazing and online? ????

  97. Squee! The picture is so beautiful and mysterious…
    Do I dare hope for a new animated book or a pre-quel with just a little more back story on our favorte characters Inn Keeper family?

  99. Really cool would be if this were part of the proposal to Industrial Light and Magic to make a movie; no a movie series, based on Innkeeper…

    If you’re gonna dream, dream Big!!!

    Or maybe the folks who made the Harry Potter movies?

    Suggestions for who could play Her Grace?

  100. Or is it a time jump forward and it’s Dina and Sean’s child playing with those rainbow bubbles ????

  106. I don’t know where to post this but wanted to ask if there is a possible that Julie will run into Red now that she’s older and a flare is due soon? That would be so exciting since she’s now grown into her own person. Would be interesting to know what Reds been up to with Morrigan

  107. OMG YES YES YES YES YES WEBTOON YES PLEASE SO EXCITED! PLEASE BE REAL. PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEEEEEEEASE.

  108. Reading through the comments, i think i’m the one of the few that maybe notice the word ‘were’ being used. Happy for any Innkeeper content 🙂

  110. Have no idea if any of the guesses are right, or if you both were having a release the hounds (aka BDH) moment and just put that lovely image of Gertrude Hunt in front of us.
    That’s a gorgeous image.
    Will love to see who’s guesses are correct.

  114. I remember when that guy who does Rivers of London started also putting out graphic novels. At first I was grumpy that part of the story was outside of the novels. Then I read one. Wow. You really can tell different kinds of stories with just a few words (compared to a novel) but with lots of illustrations. This just should be fun!

  115. SQUEEEEEE!!!!! SQUEEEEEEE!!!!! *shuddering inhale* SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

    That is all. Carry on.

  117. Well I must have failed the test, because my first thought when I saw the picture was ” Oh, boy! We’re going to find out what happened to Dina’s parents”

  119. sfusjgxgkt

    Please let this be a sign of things to come because I would buy a graphic novel adaptation of the Innkeeper series in a heartbeat.

  123. That is absolutely beautiful. And if it leads to some sort of publication or whatever, I’m totally here for it.

  129. Anything Innkeeper is exciting. Even if I have to talk my son into teaching me how to read it (watch it?) LOL

  134. Oh. My. Gosh! (Enter the biggest squeal ever!) I can’t believe this! This sounds too good to be true!! This would be the most epic story to turn into a graphic novel/coloured manga! Take my money already! Anything for your stories + beautiful art!

  137. I literally gasped in amazement. And delight. Much delight.

    Also noticed that the filename is CS-EP1_p1-copy-scaled.jpg

    That would likely mean . . . Clean Sweep, Episode 1, Panel 1?

  140. Me…oh please mean your ready for the next Innkeepers serial book and starting soon. Oh graphic novel maybe bottom of picture, oh I guess I can buy that if that is what your doing. Reading comment okay no idea what that is, but if done by Ilona Andrews I guess I can figure it in, somehow…after all you got me to order from Amazon for a book. Regardless, hope everything is going well for you and family….fingers still crossed for next innkeeper book

  148. Awesome!!! If this is a comic book…Can there be an online version of this. The solo print comics always run out of stock/are difficult to get 10 years later. Thanks

  152. This inn does not match the description of Dina’s Gertrude Hunt in “Clean Sweep”. Therefore, I expect it is a drawing of Dina’s parents inn and the beginning of the newest Innkeeper story, in which we will find out what happened to (and perhaps rescue) Dina’s parents. Can’t wait whatever format it will be!!!!

  156. (Carefully examines link before clicking)
    Innkeeper graphic novel?
    Where is the preorder link?

    At work we get monthly phishing link test emails.
    Click on one of them three times in 12 months and you lose your annual bonus.
    Some of them are obvious, others can be really tricky.

  158. If you’re making a graphic novel, PLEASE don’t depict the females as having enormous breasts, wearing low cut tops and showing enormous amounts of cleavage. I was very disappointed when a female author of urban fantasy produced a graphic novel, and all the females had enormous breasts, showing enormous cleavage. Those characters were not depicted that way in her print novels. It was probably appealing if you were a 13-year-old boy, but I don’t think most of her readers were 13-year-old boys. I lost respect for that author after her graphic novel.

      • I’ve seen you at several online author events, and you’ve always looked lovely. I would not be surprised to see a graphic novel version of Harper Larvo wearing skin tight clothes with very low neckline tops, oozing cleavage. I hope I don’t see Graphic novel versions of Dina or Nevada wearing the same clothing. But, they are your characters, it is your decision. I have loved everything you have written.

  160. i’m torn. because on one hand, “YAY, NEW CONTENT” and on the other, my last favorite author started playing around with graphic novels and six years after his newest series premiered, we’re still waiting for book 2, with no inkling of a publication date.

  162. AHHHHHHHH!!!! A graphic novel? Internet graphic novel? Any of the above?! Oh I am so highly excited!

  163. Everyone else is raving about webtoons and graphic novels. The true tragedy “to me” is running out of tea or beverage of choice. In our household while hubby is hoarding toilet paper, I’m ordering tea.
