Awhile ago, someone commented on the blog asking if I ever felt out of place. She said she lived a truly boring life, and it was good but unexpected, and sometimes she wondered how she even got there. As I look back at the frenzy of this weekend, this seems especially relevant. I have a

Please Stop Harassing the Audio Reader And Doing Other Things
I have now seen the ACX documents from the pirated edition of Magic Claims, and I am satisfied that the audio reader, Christy Hodson, was also a victim of fraud. Someone posed as us, hired her to do this through ACX, she recorded the book in good faith, and having put in all of the

Trick and Treat
Hi everyone, Mod R here, welcome to Freebie Friday, as promised by Ilona! 14 years ago, a magazine editor commissioned a classic slasher short story from House Andrews. Publication didn’t pan out, as these things sometimes don’t, and the story took its place in the Trunk, never to be seen again. Until recently, when Ilona

What is it?
We’ve received so many requests and comments regarding the current project that I am going to take pity on poor Mod R and announce what it is, since we are almost done. We are working on another world fantasy with prominent romantic elements. It’s an isekai, also known as a portal fantasy. Not sure if

Freebie on Friday
We are going to have a free short story for you on Friday, as an early Halloween present. It’s not connected to any of our existing worlds, and it’s a bit old, but it is suitably scary. We have gotten so many comments concerned about the results of the dress dying. How ever will Maggie

On wolves and voices
We have bad news for you this morning. Unfortunately, Ryan H. Reid, the voice of Sean in the Innkeeper series, and Graphic Audio have parted ways. We are all heartbroken over this, but sometimes life happens. We wish him al the best. His performance was amazing, and BDH will miss him. A new Sean had

Catching up
Hi everyone, Mod R here. I know I’ve been rather quiet lately, and that’s because I have so many emails to catch up on. I thought I would ask the Horde for help getting though some of them today, and give you all an insight into a regular work day as Mod R. From: The

Webtoon Recommendations
I would love some more webcomic recommendations. I went through a lot of them after Innkeeper was published on Tapas, and wonder if there are any new ones you enjoyed. My latest favorites are Baroness Goes On Strike, and Little Rabbit and the Big Bad Leopard. We always do Tapas, so today let’s do some

I have some cool news from Luisa Preissler for you. “Due to fan requests I’ve decided to publish another calendar with my favorite fantasy cover illustrations I painted over the years. It will include four of our Kate Daniels illustrations, as well as book covers I did for authors Rachel Aaron and Lindsay Buroker.” WARRIOR

Monsters, Characters, and Voices
I got very little sleep last night. The saga of Sookie continues, so please excuse me if I sound less coherent than usual. Also the novel has crossed 100K and when I mentioned this fact to Mod R, instead of being supportive and saying things like, “It will end eventually,” she basically said, “All the
