  6. I hope you can take the weekend off to rest & recover from crazy Friday.
    And dream of a Roman, Hugh mash-up. ????

    • Hmmm, you must be some kind of writer to leave a blank page and we are still compelled to comment. ????????

  24. The guy doesn’t really do it for me, since he doesn’t match my taste in men, but the typewriter? Wow! Where’s they find a manual typewriter? I haven’t seen one in years.

    • I still have my Smith Corona manual typewriter from college. It got to play a “featured prop role” in a production of “How to Succeed in Business…” a couple years ago.
      Also, is this the guy from a blog post last spring? I seem to remember the smile, espresso cup and the towel….
      (And cute, too, but very much too young for me!! )

  29. Hi Ilona
    I was reading a book from Lisa Kleypas. Not sure if you are familiar with her. She is a great story teller. The book ‘S name is a prince is dream about a Russian Prince and a British lady in 18 century. I loved it and i thought of you. Not sure if all of the references to the Russian culture are authentic but I love the book. I love to share what I love with others. We all need a little bit of dream in our life .

  40. My cats say they like “spoilery” thingies, and to let you know they are rulers of the universe, and that you should comply or… they will meow-haunt you for eternity.

  43. Did you do that, to watch the blog-shitstorm unfold? It’s always so hilarious to read!!! The way we (your devoted fans) react, should inflate your ego soooo much! LOL! Good work, now we are all the more eager for the next…
    So funny!
    Thanks and greets from Switzerland
    Inga

  50. ???? Hmmmm…. The real question is, was there really something deleted?
    Nicely done House Andrews. That is why we love you guys. You know how to get us going.

  56. *uses Jedi mind powers to bring back the spoilery goodness*

    Oh wait, I’m not a Jedi. Le sigh

    I will stalk the page for a while instead ????

  59. Nothing is too spoilery. We will read it and forget afterwards—unless you make a typo or continuity error, in which case you will be reminded about it till the heat death of the universe, or Kate’s father makes it out of the dragon lair.

  62. Rest is the most important food for life. Please take enough time to have all that you need. It will make you that much more creative, in the long run, and will make your health and contentment so much better.
    Your BDH will be here for you waiting patiently.❤️

  63. Chorus of mournful meows.

    If it was anything in Kate Daniels’ universe, prolonged and plaintive yowls.

    I always read the last pages first. I like seeing how you get to the conclusion. Spoilers are Not A Problem.

  66. Darn it, I saw your post on FB last night but I thought, “I’ll read it in the morning.” Usually I jump on the new posts. That will teach me to hesitate.

  69. Ahahaha, you are soooo funny, I’ll pretend that you didn’t post it on the first place, and it’s just a little joke for your fans. Thanks anyway.

  72. I just read the Emerald Blaze first chapter. Wow; was it awesome!! You all know how to make the heart pound????

  74. I am with Chris. Take a little time for yourself. Sleep is a good thing! Have a nana nap. Gordon too. Your taxes are done so have a rest. It is not going to kill your loyal and oh so spoiled fandom to wait a little.
    Wish you were going to World Con in New Zealand so we could meet in July
    Mournful sigh
    Kate

    • Thanks,Kate, I was beginning to think these guys were just
      a bunch of greedy B……. uhm—
      BDH.

  75. I LMAO about the USB drive error. My nephews are college kids so they try new stuff all the time which means the newest flash drives for computer. Mother is 76 with dementia so she disposes of stuff she does not recognize. Yep, you know what she did while they were home on holiday break. Sigh

  78. I know that I am really late, but a story posted on 5/14/2014. Was it ever finished? Just looking over old blogs and read it. Any information?

    • Ok, so because I’m “that kind of person” (that has to look up something if they have no idea what someone’s talking about), but which story are you talking about? Sweep In Peace, Burn For Me, Magic Breaks, Jim and Dali (Magic Dreams), Magic #8 (Gunmetal Magic) , A Mere Formality, and Alpha Origins are all mentioned, as are 3 books by other authors. ????????‍♀️

      • Page 212 on the blog titled Now for something different. I thought the story had a good start chapter one was posted.

  81. Neat new pristine
    Un petted
    Un patted
    Non stroked
    Un known
    Anticipated
    Juices flowing, energized that you have not a clue
    So you keep going back to make sure you didn’t miss a word, read that word/sentence correctly
    Thrilled that you got a book, a new one
    Spoilery is for after the thrill has rang when you want those high notes and low trips repeated.
    BUT being spoiled by you tossing us a snip that will add that halejulah chorus To what you write.
    Thank you G & I

  86. Ah…., I find I still love the photo. The writer working in bed with pristine white sheets and comforter, holding that demitasse cup of espresso, and typing in his thoughts one-handed on parchment paper. It always raises questions for me. Does parchment really work in a typewriter?

  87. Wait but I love spoilers. Come on share. Just tell those that spoilers are happening. They can not read as they choose.
