      • Yes! Okays. We are still in the weeds, however, because even though it redirects correctly, it is not displaying the right address in the search bar. Ugh.

  8. I’ve done many a CMS upgrade/transfer (lift and shift) – no matter how well you prepare, you still hold your breath!

  16. Testing! The post rss feed showed up all pretty for me, the asterisks on the required fields are the only thing I’m missing

  17. See the ‘under construction’ banner but looks, otherwise, completely normal.

  20. The store was posted as a banner for a bit earlier. Was that an accident or is it open?

  22. This is a comment: Comment!

    This is a comment on drugs: C;aajodilkj22oifj!#6

  23. Hey. I think it works.

    And thank God rarely in Massachusetts do we see green or yellow skies.

    We see the hurricanes coming for days.

  25. This is a test of the BDH Notification System. This is only a test. Were this a real announcement, the BDH would be bombarding the site with comments, some of which may actually be on-topic.

    This ends the test of the BDH Notification System. You may resume refreshing your browser every 5 minutes in hopes of a new blog post.

  28. Looking good to me. Are there any links onsite to the Graphic Audio offerings? I know TAPAS is on the home page. Anywhere else?

    • If you use the search function and look for Graphic Audio, there will be many post results with links. Anything in particular I can help with? 🙂

  29. This is only a test post. Had this been an actual post, you would have been instructed on what level of BDH crazy to employ.

  30. Not a huge deal, but under free fiction:

    1. When you click “more Roman” it goes to Kate and Curran texts

    2. Clicking on “man on the road” goes to The questing beast.

    All else seems to be working fine.

  31. To test or not to test? That is the question. To test perchance to dream? Aye, there’s the rub, for in that test what dreams may come, of books and characters unseen yet yearned for when the website leaves this great domain? 😉

  32. BTW, I’m loving the Curran on the home page banner. He’s actually gray. I think there was one other book cover that at least hinted at gray, but most of them had him the wrong color.

    Also, “the Beast Lord wants a moat for his son”. Hahahaha. For his son. Righhhht.

  33. All good in Sydney.

    Just went through the tabs at the top and for the first time read the “learn more about us” blurb.

    Thank you for persevering. Thank you for absorbing the hits. Thank you for having faith in yourselves and for entertaining us all these years.

    I am grateful.

  34. Looking good here. Also, I just went through the tabs and found your section on books you liked. I hadn’t seen many of them and now have some new authors to explore…

  35. Hi Mod R, I hope that you’re doing well! I just noticed that in the free fiction section, the summary for A King of Fire under Blood Heir is the same as the summary for A Misunderstanding under Hidden Legacy. Just wanted to let you know!

  38. Interesting. Viewing this in my tablet, and as I scroll down, the top middle part of the nav bar moves with me. That’s new, right? I’m not above noticing something that’s been there for 5 years.

  39. As someone who used to do site migrations (for sites much simpler than yours) – you have my sympathies and cheers, as appropriate.

    “We are now cruising at a level of two to the power of twenty-five thousand to one against and falling, and we will be restoring normality just as soon as we are sure what is normal anyway.”

    ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

  43. I know you all are still working on it but thought you should know that the Extras link under Other Fiction doesn’t appear to go anywhere.

  45. Brilliant! off to read the Kate short story! All the best. looks like youve got an amazing reach here. Well done!

  46. I’m too late for real testing. time difference ehhh… well done anyway BDH is eager even to test with beloved Authors and Mod R 😀

  47. I found all of my favorite short stories and snippets except for one. There was a snippet/short story from the Alphas: Origins world with Karina’s younger children. Hoping it’s still in the migration queue.

    A Small Blue Key always makes me cry, because it’s so beautiful.
    And Questing Beast always makes me laugh.
    Thank you for keeping the shorter fiction pieces on the website!!

    • Thanks Jean, I do have plans to add, please bear with 🙂 , I’m slow!

      • Thanks Mod R!! The first time I read Alphas, I said “way more scary than I was expecting”. By the third re-read, I really loved the story. And Karina is very fierce at the end, in ways I could never be.

  53. Is Release Schedule (under “get in CONTACT”) supposed to go to a 2019 email with that title and a Catalina snippet?

  54. Hi Mod R, the Hidden Legacy page has a couple of issues. Emerald Blaze is listed as coming soon in a banner at the top (plus with a broken Order link) as well as the “worldbuilding” link doesn’t go anywhere.

    Good luck! Things are shaping up well so far!

  59. I love you both so much. Thank you for your delightful story this morning. Christine

  60. This one is gorgeous! My favorite. It has depth and invites one to look deeper to see the world within.

  61. As someone who is computer unfriendly, they were mean to me first, I am in awe of you doing this.I wouldn’t even know where to start. Thank you for the stories, the moderation, and making an amazing website.

  71. I especially liked Questing Beast #3, 10, 11, and 14. Yes, I mostly went for cute, but they are all really awesome.

  75. Is no-one going to ask what the prompt for that fabulous frozen heart was?

  76. Testing ….
    testing….
    One, two.

    Standards for excellence still being upheld.

  79. I’m an ICT nerd, so I read caching 🙂
    Everytime it seems a page update wasn’t succesful, it’s the caching on the user PC. Not the update itself

  80. So this is random, and I have no idea how to let you know otherwise, but I was watching the 2023 Dakar Rally on SBS (Australian TV) this morning and in the talky bit before stage 14, they did a whole thing on the King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture in Saudi Arabia. They panned over the whole spectacular white-on-white library, and then did a close up on some of the books–and it was several Kate Daniels books, with Gunmetal Magic prominently displayed. So there you go folks, you’re in the King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture. I did screen cap it, so let me know if you want to see. 🙂

  81. I hope the caching test was a success.

    How about a Friday snippet test…🤔? Just asking for a friend😇

  82. Hi, just so you know on the free fiction page the narrative under the free fiction heading is gibberish. The letters look fine but the words and sentences don’t make sense. Have a wonderful weekend.

    • Hi Michelle,
      The Lore Ipsum is placeholder text, a few decisions have to be made before the work on the website is done ☺️

  83. I have just seen this ad my email sync was turned off. just at a point I needed a distraction House Andrews and the BDH come to the rescue.
    loving the test site and even found a short story/snippet I’d missed the first time around.
    thank you
