We are happy to bring you 2 Christmas sales.

CLEAN SWEEP, the first in the New York Times, USA Today, and international (Thank you, Germany!) bestselling series about a woman who run a secret inn for intergalactic creatures. See how it all started for just $0.99.
Amazon is the first with the discount. I am not sure if/when the other retailers catch up, so Amazon for now.

Next we have IRON AND MAGIC, because if someone dares us to take the most irredeemable jackass in a ten years series and make him into a hero, we don’t say no. We say, “Hold my beer.”
Hugh is normally not cheap, but currently he can be had for $2.99
And this concludes our promotional discounts for the holidays.
WOW! Thank you! Merry Christmas to you too!
Oh my good glory! I’m incentivize to log into my active online book buying account!
Many thanks and haha on “Hold my beer”
+1!
So glad you a lot of volunteer beer holders! That was a fun book and I’m looking forward to the next one, as well as a new Innkeeper, in whatever form it takes!
+1 !!!
Thank you, for letting us know!
Love everything you write. Thank you
How lovely! I’ve already got them but will get these as gifts. Thank you for these and more…
Haha! Love the description for Hugh’s story!
Thanks so much!
+1. Still can’t believe you took an April Fool’s joke and turned it into this fabulous book!!
I know, right? That’ll teach them not to tease us.
“Hold my beer.” LOL… love you both. Have a very Merry Christmas!!!
+1
If I didn’t already own both, I would definitely buy them now. Hugh us awesome by the way. Go authors!
+1 Merry Christmast to your family.
me too
Thank you, I have both (and many more of your books), but this is such a nice offer. Merry Christmas!
I will never not snigger at Hugh’s book, after that April fool’s joke that was suddenly all over Goodreads…
“Hold my beer!” Roflmao!!! I love you guys????????????
Already have both! Totally worth full price! Oh, and I would be happy to hold tour beer for another Hugh story!!!
Cool!
Awesome even if I already have all of those books. I always wondered what would have become of hugh if the april fools joke never happened. Would he still have been redeemed?
Still can’t believe Hugh book happened. Also can’t believe he’s okayish now. I was so determined to hate him all through Iron and Magic. That went as planned???? .
I know, right? He’s still a jerk, but he’s OUR jerk!
Lovely! Who can I gift these to? (Have owned them since they came out.)
Many thanks!
I was very distracted when clicking on your post. I saw the IRON AND MAGIC and thought it was Hugh #2 and read the post title as “Blood, Honor, and Cheap Dates”. I thought, “well, that’s an odd turn. Don’t really see High as a ‘dating’ guy, but I’m down with it.” Makes more sense when I actually pay attention. ????
I love the: He’s not cheap” comment!!!
;o)
If I didn’t already own Iron & Magic, I would buy it again for sure! Love Hugh & Elara. Can’t wait for book #2!
How about the audio versions? Do they ever go on sale? I am looking for the Innkeeper series. Great promo!
Now I can use the funny song lyric that I though of the other day. “All I want for Christmas is Hugh”!
lmao
Hahaha. Don’t know what I love more, the book Iron and Magic or listening to Steve West read the book. I hope he is the reader for book 2.
I absolutely agree. I love his voice and his characters. I have read and listened to Iron and magic several times.
Best Sales Speech: feature unlocked ???? Mesmerazing self promotion ????
No, it does not work in Australia. $3.92 AUD, which is a lot more than $0.99 USD.
No discount in the UK either. Clean Sweep is the equivalent of almost $4.5o on Amazon UK.
Alas, I have them all,,, both dead tree and e-versions.
Great deal though.
I didn’t expect to like Hugh’s yet here we are. So excited for the next book. ♡♡♡
So…you respond to a challenge? hmm…….
i love Hugh – more so because i never thought you could pull it off but from reading the original joke right the way through to having the actual book you proved me so wrong. The backstory (of the book, not Hugh) makes it one of my most rereads
Is this the things?
I adore the commentary.
Hugh is normally not cheap – nor is he easy….
???????? “Hold my beer!” Nice!
Huh. I just stayed up until 2 am re-reading Iron & Magic last night. I am magic I guess.
BWAHAHA! Y’all Crack me up with your commentary! Thanks for the update too on the prices. Love the books! Have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS too.
Just drove 48 hours listening to Innkeeper 4, Magic Triumphs, and HUGH. Third listen for Iron and Magic (ever more interested in his continuing character development), and actively resisting an immediate relisten. Interested to see where Hugh’s story goes.
Thank you so much!
I’m not sure if it’s a Christmas specific sale, but Magic Triumphs is also currently on sale, for $1.99 on Amazon Kindle. 🙂
When I saw the title to the post,I thought “ok, what did I miss?”. Then I read through the captions of the two books. I laughed when I read Hugh’s book blurb. No, he’s not cheap, and he’ll make you hold his beer.
Give us another April Fool’s joke. We’ll just ask for a book out of it. ????
Merry Christmas everyone! ????????
By the way, Barnes and Noble have Clean Sweep for $4.99 for the Nook. Iron and Magic is $2.99 for the Nook. Hugh’s cheaper than Dina! ????
Stocking Stuffers! while we’re waiting for Dina’s and Hugh’s next books.
If there is ever beer to be held while you write more Hugh, I volunteer as tribute.
That’s awesome, but we have those…we breathlessly await Iron and Magic 2!! I’ll do it for twice the price! We love your writing! I wish you many sales! I’ll alert my friends to the sale, though! I am always trying to share my love of your books!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and all the others! May your family share a wonderful time of happiness!
Hold my beer indeed! Will be buying as a gift, considering I already own ’em all.
Thanks for the early Christmas present!
Yes! Books under $3 count as misc items in our budget, instead of coming from my book budget (which only is fi Christmas and Birthday, not a monthly line that I’d like). So to get them both now and *still* have all my Christmas money…Magical!
You know we are now all frantically working to come up with additional challenges.
Could the Costco woman have developed into a “demon” hunter? Perhaps after years of intense therapy she is finally prepared to move on with her life. Only to have her car break down infront of a delightful Inn. They say there is no room available. But she knows better and pushes her way inside. Only to find herself face to face with …
I’ll hold your beer. 😉
You guys gave me a happy Christmas!
???? Sales are wonderful (Thank you for sharing!), but pre-orders make me ????????????????????! Hee hee. ????
Hello ! Oddly enough it was through Audible suggesting Iron and Magic that I discovered Illona Andrews and all their wonderful works. A very fun but backwards exploration… However, can anyone actually link the original april fool’s joke ? I feel so left out…
Here’s the link to something that has the April Fool’s post in it…hope this helps.

Hi Vicki, The site has a great search engine. If you type April Fools into the search bar one of the items it brings up is a blog from 2018 that promotes Iron and Magic – it has the original posting in it. 🙂
Awesome! Just went and got them. Lol I love how amazon try’s to make you feel good by telling you how much you saved apparently I save $15 on each book. Just take my money I need my innkeeper fix
This is amazing! Thank you!
Happy holidays from Romania <3
Cool. Thank you, and a Merry Christmas to you all, as well.
I Loved Iron and Magic! Hoping a sequel will be coming out!
Hugh has always been excellent. Love that character!! He has so much love to give (or what else is his compulsion to heal?).
“Hold my beer.” LOL. Extreme authoring for the win.
Good beer. I re-read Iron and Magic more than any other of any of the series, and I re-read all of them and will continue to do so. Love the characters, stories, and then read to see how you have put it all together. Lots to appreciate.
Agreed, it’s fantastic. Such an amazing story of redemption.
ROFL at what you wrote for Hugh’s book.
Agreeeeee!!! ????????
I have read the Clean Sweep books in English and German. I hope that all books will be translated into German. I like to read books first in English and then in German to see what I misunderstood ????
Just ordered sweep with me from Amazon – it’s put as Innkeeper number 5 – is it a new novella??
I’m so glad I wasn’t drinking anything when I got to the iron and magic part. You rock!
Since I already owned the 1st Innkeeper & Hugh’s book, I pre-ordered “Emerald Blaze: A Hidden Legacy Novel.”
Emerald Blaze is up for pre-order? Thanks!
Just read Iron and magic over the weekend . Again.
Keep thinking why did Landon and Roland want the castle. Is it all the tunnels underneath the castle? Or the key lines?
And Rook, want to know more about him. I keep associating Rook with Leon . There is some weird similarities , maybe just in
my head.
Own both , in dead tree version. Keep trying buy a kindle but last year Cello, my cat, was sick, and this year my 2 cavities have become 2 root canals.
So there goes my kindle and new eyeglasses.I am very near sighted so my prescription and glasses are always very expensive.
And I need new prescription. Even online very expensive.
But I wish everyone Happy Holidays and , remember we get Emerald blaze , with the sisters and Runa and Alessandro and pregnant Nevada. Iron and Magic 2 . More Hugh and Elara . And maybe new Innkeeper. Fingers crossed.
And new photos of Artha and pets.
Ohhh and maybe with New innkeeper, we can get to see Klaus.!!!
But please, no rush, please take time off for your family and friends.
I can’t believe how excited I am for your new projects.
Thank you .
Kindle has free apps for Android and IPhone, that’s what I used before I got a Kindle. I love having my library on my phone, it saves hauling all those bags of books everywhere.
I’ve read and reread both!! So I bought these through the gift option on Kindle and sent to my daughter!! I’m sure she will be a new member of BDH!
Thank you for letting us know!
I read and re-read Clean Sweep but was still delighted to see it for .99 so others who have not read it can get it for such a great price. I was surprised at a glitch in Amazon. It said it was available for purchase even though I did so back when it was first written in 2013. I searched my orders and there it was. So, why is Amazon telling me I had not? Even the mighty Zon can make mistakes. Merry Christmas to Ilona and Gordon and their kids. We fans get the presents when they are happy in writing their novels.
This is fantastic! What a deal — just bought 5 Clean Sweeps to introduce my 2 sisters, 2 nieces, and a young friend to the Innkeeper (and IA) world. I hope they’ll enjoy the story as much as I did!
Talking of weird creatures… Here is a duckitty! ????+????=????
