Hi everyone,
Quick reminder that Ilona and Gordon will be having a Q&A/Virtual meet with fans at 1 pm Central today to celebrate the release of Fated Blades.

Please use whichever time zone converter you want to figure out what time that is where you are, I like this one.
Registrations have been extended due to popular demand, so if you want to catch one of the late spots, hurry to register here.
Once you register, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address you used and it will contain the link to join. It comes from Zoom, so please check your Spam folders if you don’t see it. Looks like this:

See you in 2 hours and a bit!
Hi Mod R! I am bummed that I can’t make it. Will there be any sort of transcript/round up after?
We’ll try to do either recording or transcript ????
Yay!!!
Thank you!!!
That’s great to hear. I too missed the live event.
Thank you for this post. I was really bummed to miss registering the first time.
I’m so excited! I’ve never Zoomed before.
Have fun everyone. Mod R you still should take a bow for being mentioned in the acknowledgement. ????
Totally bummed. I signed up, got the confirmation page, but received no email link. Not in spam…just no where.
I think I might be in the same boat. Maybe it ended up in the junk folder and automatically deleted before today. So bummed! Hope there’s a video to watch later.
I’m sorry guys, that happens :(. We will hopefully put up a recording or a transcript for you.
I’m so sorry TDoll. I hope we will have the recording up for you and everyone else who missed it 🙂
Thanks, Mod R! I’ll look forward to the replay.
I was also in your situation. Not upset at all, because these things happen, but I loved the last Q and A and I was looking forward to the fun again. Next time! Hope HA has had a good Thanksgiving weekend.
Has it started? I haven’t received the email…
I am so sad I missed this! I hear the toaster thing came up in the Q&A and I am so delighted that it made it into a book. I had to pause reading when I got to that part and go tell every single person that I know.
I guess we’ll find out how many patent examiners are Ilona Andrews fans as my patents with that easter egg slowly make their way through the system!
Q&A was awesome! Thanks!!
fingers crossed Arabella gets her “buffet of boys” book (series?)!
Glad there is going to be a replay of the non-spoiler stuff as I joined late (Mom called)!
Wonderful Q & A . Thankyou Ilona and Gordon and Mod R.
One question I would love to be answered on the blog someday is whether the “Gerard and Helen meet” snippet will be expanded into a short story or novella. They seem like both nice and interesting people and it would be great to understand more about their backgrounds and magic.
This question has been asked before and unfortunately no. We may learn more from the Innkeeper series in flash back moment.
Thank you HA for the great Q&A, spoilers and the belly laughs – the session was so fun! Mod R, you rock!
As promised, the link for the Paso Doble that inspired the Secare fighting 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8W4tyLo_oE
I’ve seen the Paso Doble danced by professional dancers. It looks like they’re fighting each other. I don’t realize I’m holding my breath until the dane is finished.
I can see why it’s the dance used for the fight scene. Woo-hoo! ????
Dance…not dane. Ugh! ????♀️
I just wanted to thank Mod R. You’ve really livened up the blog and Q&A. It’s appreciated.
PS I fell in love with Roman, in Andrea’s book, it was his Eeyore pajamas???? Hope you’re House Andrews Muse, if we get a Roman book. Years ago it was highly requested.
Aww, you’re so sweet!
I just had to shoot my shoot with Roman :D. I always liked him, but he really had me at “When evil things get injured, sometimes they find me.”
+1 also, Mod R, you have a new icon/avatar! Are you a snowman in a top hat and scarf holding books? It’s very cute 🙂
Yes ????
I saw this very distinguished owl in a Dickensian top hat when I went to look for Christmas decorations and he inspired me hehe
He looks fierce and cute at the same time! 😀 Does that mean you drew it yourself?
No ????, I use Bitmoji to dress up my avatar in seasonal apparel and then Gravatar to upload it as a profile pic.
Aaah ok. Been a long time since I used Gravatar. 🙂 I would have believed you if you’d said yes 😉
I registered but missed the email too. Thank you for recording Mod R and looking forward to hearing all the news!
woke up to late to join 🙁 it was at 6.00am here 😉
looking forward to seeing this after the event 🙂
I’m quietly hoping that the video will be uploaded onto Youtube for the rest of the BDH to view at leisure.
Thank you for the Release Party that was fun.
How many people attended I heard 150 then someone said 500?
A bit over 500 ????, at least at the point I checked.
Thank you so much for doing this for the fans! It was very fun 🙂
Just a quick mention that Ruby Fever is up for pre-order on Amazon. Can’t wait for the book to come out.
Thanks for this. I just went and put in my pre-order.
The book is available for pre-order on Barnes and Noble. Just the printed one, not the ebook yet. I’m waiting for the ebook version. ????
Can’t wait for the replay. I registered early, but never found the email with the Zoom link.
Looking forward to the recording/transcript/whatever it may be. Thank you!
Loved the Q&A it was so much fun. Thank you for your time and putting it together for the fans. I had to leave before it was over but had a great time and enjoyed the spoilers.
Nice to see Mod R the awesome woman behind the icon.
Sad… I missed it. I set my alarm for 2.45am this morning (29th Singapore)but….I overslept.
Please share the FULL recording…I attended the last one and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Hi! I went to pre-order Ruby Fever at amazon and the two formats available for pre-order are kindle and mass market paperback. Do we know if there will be a hardback? (I hope so! I like my hard copies to match—I’m still getting over there being no hardback Burn for Me! ????) Maybe it will show up later, like I assume the audiobook will? Thanks.
