Hi guys, sorry about the technical issues with the first twitch session. Our software conked out on us.
We’ve received many emails regarding the inability to attend the twitches and signing due to professional and personal obligations and the unfairness of it, so Nevada’s bribe snippet will be posted today or tomorrow on the blog for everyone.
Verslint says
Thank you very much!

+1. I don’t Twitch; I mean, I do (mainly around major holidays), but the family calls me on it and tells me to relax . . .

Yes thank you so very much ????????????????✌????
SunnyD says
Thank you!
Momo says
You are the best! Thanks for the great session and answering all of our questions.
Looking forward the the funniest.
Tara says
You spoil us! (not that there’s anything wrong with that…) 🙂
Denise P says
Thank you!
Amanda says
Thank you both so much
Kath says
Thank you ???????????????????? I have never managed to get twitch to work properly!
ESC says
Thanks for the twitch session, it was wonderful to see all of you in your element. It’s amazing you get anything done at all with a household so brimming with life and activity! I never doubted that the snippet would be shared with everyone, you are just generous people.
In a life where everyone seems to be searching for happiness, for me it is a simple matter of a cup of tea and one of your books. They warm the heart and make me laugh out loud. Thank you.

VLR says
Thank you! I was one who ran into difficulties and didn’t get in right until the end, but it’s soooo much fun watching and listening to you guys! Love the extra insight and Gordon’s spoilery expressions!
Terri says
I only got to see part of the Twitch session had to go get in the dreaded car line. I had a question for you guys but I couldn’t remember my login or password for my Twitch account. I haven’t used it since your last session. Don’t know if you’ll see this but maybe someone can tell me. Since it was house warfare with the assassins wouldn’t their headquarters be spoils of war like Brick?
Alex R. says
They probably rented the building. But all the goodies inside may be spoils of war.
Terri says
Thnx didn’t think of renting.
Arianna says
Thank you! I couldn’t see the first session on the scheduled time and I tried to watch it later on your Twitch channel. But I could see only 1 clip 30 seconds long ???? And I tried my best to finish Sapphire flames before the streaming so I could watch it!
At least I will read Nevada’s snippet ????
Roxann L Hockaday says
Hi, thanks for the upcoming snippet and for the Twitch sessions. I was at work and only got part of the session, will there be a replay of one or both sessions? Sorry if this is a silly question, I am unfamiliar with Twitch and most programs like that.
Thanks.
Nellie says
+1 … only I missed the entire 1st session. Hoping to catch the second one later today, but it won’t let me set a reminder as it says it happened in the past. Has anyone else had the same problem?
Oshi says
I thin it’s because they aren’t up to a certain number of followers. Hopefully they saved the video and will upload somewhere at a later date.
Cristina says
♡ THANK YOU ♡
Joylyn says
I appreciate that you will be posting it but I have to say that whatever you decide to do with your material is totally fine with me.
I would have joined buy my husband blocked Twitch from our modem so that our teens wouldn’t try to watch Rubik’s Cube speed solving videos when they were suppose to be doing their online school 🙂 #momlife
You guys are the best and I hope the book sells many many copies 🙂
Patricia Schlorke says
Thank you! I was able to listen in during the first session. I plan on listening in on 2nd session tonight. It was nice to see which dog was the muse for Shadow. Cute dog. 😀
All I ask is that you keep writing in between times of rest. I don’t care what book comes out next. It’s all good.
Patricia Schlorke says
I watched the second session last night. It was just as great as the first one. Again, thank you for doing this for us. 😀
To everyone in the BDH in Florida and the Southeastern part of the U.S., please be safe. As I was watching the Weather Channel a few minutes ago, there is a possibility that hurricane Dorian may become a category 5 storm. After seeing that, I thought “I’m so glad Ilona and Gordon decided to stay in Texas and not moved to Florida.”
Becky says
This. This is why we love you. Thanks!
Gloria Magid says
Thank you. Wasn’t able to make either twitch.
Gailk says
I was working so I couldn’t attend Twitch. And now I can only get bits and pieces . Will try later. Hope you will have a transcript , so I can see what I missed. Thank you.
Reading Sapphire Flames again, so good
mar says
You Both Rock!!!
I’ve spent a month and a half recovering from pneumonia and I reread all your books, They have saved my sanity and filled me with love.
Thank You
Katharina says
You are so amazing and kind, cannot wait!!
Lee says
Thank you for being so generous to your readers. I was only able to catch a few minutes due to work and when I went back to see the rest it would not load, so I doubly appreciate that the Nevada pregnancy outtakes will be on the blog.
Annaribbit says
You mentioned Arabella’s had a list of her magic. I have been unable to find it. I did watch Session 1 but I can’t find it listed as recorded on Twitch. Thank you very much all you do for your fans and followers
Other Barbara says
This snippet does have a;bit of Arabella magic skills.
https://ilona-andrews.com/a-misunderstanding/
Check snippets and each lists who is major focus. Maybe a different one?
Love them all
Judy says
Thank you. Really like the characters in this series. So nice when can visit with them again.
Rossana says
Thank you so much! I hope the second session is just as full of dogs <3, I love the real live Shadow, Charlie, Beast and of course especially Artha!
Lynne B says
Thankful for whatever you do and whatever I’m able to catch. It should be at your convenience and if we can’t catch it, we can always catch up in your blog/website!
Thanks again!!
Keera says
Thank you for being awesome! My alarm disnt go off for the first one and I will have guests later tonight. So will be checking the blog for Nevada goodies
Cheryl M says
Hooray! Thank you!
barbie doll says
As a person who does not join stuff on the Net I am thrilled to wait for the Nevada snippet on the blog. The more I think about the new book the more new directions I see these stories going. It is nice to see older characters have vital rolls in these books. Linus and Grandma Victoria are very interesting and painted very realistically. As you can surmise I am a senior citizen who often feels overlooked and downgraded.
njb says
Thanks much for posting the snippets later! I did manage to catch the last of your first session, so that was fun. I’ll take a peek later to see if they are recorded and I can listen to both in their entirety. I’d planned on catching your Austin signing but per usual , life interfered. Drat. Hopefully at some future date! Have a great weekend House Andrews!
Mireille says
Thanks soooo much for this.
Amber says
Yeah!!!!! Thank you!
KC says
thank you. ♡♡♡
Karen the Griffmom says
+1. I don’t Twitch; I mean, I do (mainly around major holidays), but the family calls me on it and tells me to relax . . .
Momoko says
I’m always astonished, how complex and various characters, breathtaking plots and settings are and I deeply admire your work! I’m looking forward to read more about the hidden legacy world, the innkeeper chronicles… no: everything you release????
Helena says
HURRAHHHHH!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Patricia says
Thank you
Liz says
Thank you. Friday is errand day. So I don’t really have time to Twitch.
KathyInAiken says
Thank you! Obligations and broken appliances prevented me from joining you. I loved SF and am about to start a reread of the entire series (yes, again) from a different perspective. Now I am greedy for more. But take your time and don’t get burned out. I’m enjoying all of these characters way too much for them to have a short life!
Ann says
Thank you so much for a great twitch session! Loved hearing from you and your wonderful family, including the dogs! 🙂
Sarah says
Since we saw and heard from the dogs, can we see the cats?
kommiesmom says
Did you notice that Tuna made a cameo appearance in SF?
The giant orange cat was named Tuna and nicknamed Baby. Since Tuna is almost a twin to my first Maine Coon (Brandark), she is going to be large, even though the pictures of her from several years ago didn’t give a good idea of scale.( Karat, my current Maine Coon, is 13 1/2 pounds at 16 months. She could keep growing for another 6 months, though probably not.)
Sarah says
Thank you for sharing your creativity and stories. I enjoy everything you have written and look forward to many more stories and characters in the future.
Faith W says
Thank you! ⭐️
Other Barbara says
Searching for Arabella magic list I had a great time reading old snippets. Then googled and discovered a 2017 Cosmopolitan mag interview with the authors.
Woo hoo as I await Twitch two.
Fun fun fun

DianaInCa says
Enjoyed the twitch session this morning. It was really neat, loved the family interactions reminded me of mine. It was My first time, had my son help me set it up last night.
My daughter was telling me that there is a way to save the stream so that people can view it later. I went to share it and could only find clips from viewers.
Kylie in Aust says
Hello
I signed up for twitch but wasn’t awake for the live sessions (Australia here) and I just went into twitch but it doesn’t say there are any clips/videos to watch.
Can you only watch twitch live?
Jocelyn Malone says
I wondered if the Twitch not working right was just me–I’d never used it before :-). Now, it still may have been, but thank you for posting on here for the snippet.
Ms. Kim says
You really are so good to us.
Sarah P says

Siobhan says
It was really lovely seeing you two. My favorite part was when someone asked “what kind of creature is Shadow, really?” and Ilona went and got Shadow. And Beast. And hearing the snark with Kid2. I wish we’d had more time, but perhaps next Twitch Q&A (not session 2 now, but for future books…)
Alinia says
Thank you so much! I could get to Twitch but couldn’t get any audio on my phone. Thanks so much for doing the sessions, even if I couldn’t get one. So kind to your BDH! SPOILERS ahead…
Questions:
– is Arabella the only one with a rainbow of magic? Two magics seems like lefthandedness. Rare but known. And what is more desirable: strength or flexibility?
– Love, love, loved the mirroring scene of Alessandro talking her off the ledge? What IS this connection they have?!? Yes, I’m pre-ordering everything as soon as you put it up on Amazon!
– Why is Augustine still doing them favors? Is that for Rogan since they are specifically not taking anything from him and Nevada? Did they get another reprieve because everyone misinterpreted their vassal status to Montgomery like Diatheke?
– What do Rogan, Victoria, and Linus have in the works after the Baylor’s 3 years expired so anti-climactically? Sounds like survival rates are crap, and they must have some strings pulling behind the Baylor pride!
– Are the Woods allies or just against House Madero?
– and what is the answer to “Catalina has wings. Can she fly?” from the Twitch session???
Kelly M. says
Oh, no, sorry it turned into such drama! I officially have a Twitch account now, though, so I’m ready for future IA events!
njb says

kommiesmom says
I managed to lose track of time twice today and both times it was the specific time of the Twitch event. So sorry I missed them.
Thank you for the thought of posting the link here. I was resigned to waiting for the “funnies” to show up elsewhere.
I had (and still have) no intention of complaining about having to wait. My personal opinion is when someone offers you a lovely gift, it’s sorta rude to make a fuss if it takes a while to show up.
The glitch was not your fault. Too bad it hit you just when it did , but it sounds like at least some of the time it worked.
Thank you for doing this for us. We really appreciate it (Or else, you guys. You know who you are -)
SARA QUAN says
Thank you Thank you!!!! I’ve been avoiding signing on to twitch. I’m on discord for video gaming and barely on facebook, but otherwise I really try to avoid other things like twitter or instagram or um… actually I don’t watch tv either.
Susan says
hah! I did not complain, but I appreciate being included in your largesse.
Sandy says
Wanted to see you in Austin, but house renovations thwarted my plans. Thanks for providing goodies for those of us who couldn’t be there.
Jennifermlc says
Ahhh! Kid was sick and totally missed the twitch. While I have loved you guys for years, barging child takes precedence.
So my question was: was The character of Bale I flunked by Kuwabara from YuYu Hakisho, or is it just a coincidence? Seriously, he’s just missing a kitten!
Jennifermlc says
*barfing
Jennifermlc says
Can’t type on my phone at all!
*was Bale influenced by ….
Whitney says
Aww you guys are too good to us! Loved the new book and your blog posts always bring a smile to my face!
Heather says
Thank You!
Mar says
Will the Twitch sessions be available online to view? I had to work for both sessions. I would love to see the chat sessions if they are available . Thank you.
Sivi says
+1.
And thank you for letting us know about the funnies to be posted on the blog. Much appreciated 🙂
Nancy says
Thank you. I wasn’t able to make the sessions either. Looking forward to reading the Nevada snippet.
Emily says
Is it possible to watch both twitch sessions in their entirety? I can only see popular 30 sec clips. This is my first experience with Twitch.
Zirraella says
Me, too. I never see full length videos on your channel. I registred and everything…
tokies@me.com says
i didn’t know they were both on twitch?
Eli says
Sorry to hear about the marvelous technical difficulties that will lead to posting of the snippet on the blog for all to view.
(Thanks Bug!)
Emily07 says
Thanks. I attended the twitch session(#2), and really enjoyed it. And, this is from someone who is on no other social media, just yours. I loved the questions, some of which I probably would’ve asked myself, and most of all I loved seeing what a team both of you are. Being married, and working together, has it’s own set of problems, but it was really nice to see the connection and respect both of you have for each other. The session was worth it just for that.
Peace and blessings to both of you, and again, thank you for your wonderful books. You are my favorite authors. I can’t wait to see how the Baylor Family grows, and how Catalina develops into her role as head of the house and as a person.
Christina says
I appreciate you all making this available to everyone. I admit I forgot (Blame it on The Dark Crystal!) and was hoping beyond hope that you would publish it at a future date like you’ve done the POV’s and Twitter posts.
Thanks again!
Ann says
Thank you for posting it on your blog, I completely missed the Twitch.
Jo Jones says
Thanks. Could not attend so glad I don’t have to miss
Valerie T says
No complaints at all, y’all are the bees knees and we love the Baylor’s /post whatever you want. Warm fuzzies and happy thoughts… good luck with the new house for kid 1! Best advice I was ever given: owning a house means budgeting for that “I need a random $300 for what this month?” …
Pam says
You guys are so nice! I appreciate it being posted to the blog so much.
Nean says
Yay! Feed the horde. Snippets are delicious. Having read the removed scene from Saphire Flame (ramming the safe room), prior to getting the book made me feel like an insider when i read it. Catalina had no idea why they took Brick. But I knew ????????????
Cynthia says
Wow! there must be something wrong with me!
I didn’t feel the need to whine……
But ….. sense I’m here…..
I enjoyed my read of Sapphire Flame (it went by so fast, as all good books do).
I loved the comic relief that “Bug” gives.
Who got to come up with the names and descriptions of people he uses?
Or Am I so old I don’t know the current ones going around.
And as always….. can’t wait for the next one!
ok.why.not says
Sorry if this has been answered already, but will the videos of the twitch sessions be made available soon?
sarafina says
So I’m just obsessing on this. When Bern left the room after Runa and Catalina was surprised because Bern hadn’t left the house much since graduating, was the surprise due to:
1) Bern leaving at all
or
2) Bern possibly being interested in Runa?
Sandra says
I’m guessing both. And yeah, I do think that Bern is interested in Runa.
Lauren says
Thank you for your time yesterday, much appreciated and enjoyed it!
Steve Lucas says
I was fortunate and my email alerted me so i was able to see part of 2 twitch talks. Thank you for so much time. You are loved.
Tais S says
Oh, thank you so much! I was just now so sad when I remembered I missed the live, meant to catch the second yesterday but was thoroughly conked out after burning the midnight oil, the three am one, the seven am one, the ten am one… after burning so many of them, all I could muster effort for was eating ????
Sherre says
Yayyy! Thanks! I tried to attend the first one and it didn’t work, and I knew I wasn’t going to be able to attend the second one so I was worried I wouldn’t get the snippet. I saw some of the clips on twitch, will the whole thing be posted anywhere?
selya says
maybe next time you can just do the live chat on youtube. then it’s saved for posterity. more people use youtube than twitch.

Joy says
I’m envisioning a whole heck of refreshing of page in the next couple of days!
Roseanne Lobbezoo says
Loved, loved, loved Sapphire Flames! It has everything I love about your stories, romance, magic, nonstop action, great world building and characters you grow to love. The only bad thing is, it was over too soon! Can’t wait for the next installment!
MJ says
New books was awesome! Congrats on a job well done! ????????????
Carol Ells says
You are so sweet to do this. Hopefully one day I will be able to attend a real live session/signing/interview.
