Ruby Fever hit all the lists and sold all the copies.
#10 on USAT
#12 on NYT
#2 WSJ in ebook and #8 in fiction overall
Thank you so much, guys. The lists were hard to crack this time because many awesome books came out at once, but our sales are up, and the publisher is very happy.
The team at Avon sent us these gorgeous flowers.
Thank you to Erika, Kelly, DJ, and the entire Avon team who worked so hard to make this release a success, and most of all, thank you for reading it. BDH is the most amazing group of readers, and all the other authors should be green with envy. 🙂
Also congratulations to the incomparable Beverly Jenkins whose To Catch a Raven shares a book birthday with Ruby Fever and made USAToday!
Now onto other things. We have a firm draft date we have to meet for the Innkeeper, so we will be digging into it in the next few weeks. You might see more story posts but less personal posts until we are done. It’s crunch time. As Tim Gunn once said, “Time to rally!”
Debi Murray says
Well done, House Andrews! Ruby Fever is a smashing good book! I just started my 3rd reread. Thank you for the hours of reading enjoyment.
BC says
I know the writing can be hard, and life is challenging sometimes.
But you guys give us such a gift each time you release a book, I’ll never be anything but thankful. You deserve every success that comes your way in the wacky world.
Continue an existing series, write a new one, decide to hang it up, whatever makes you happy. I’m just grateful for your time and talent.
AP says
Congratulations! So well deserved! ????

Congratulations ????
John H says
Congratulations on a great launch! You guys deserve it!
And I hope your brief break from the ravening Horde helped recharge your batteries — and yours too, Mod R, because we don’t want to risk losing you here either!
I haven’t read Ruby Fever yet because I am in the middle of an Innkeeper series re-read, but I did my bit for your numbers by reserving a copy at my independent bookseller and then buying it as soon as it arrived.
Then I went to Amazon and bought the whole Hidden Legacy series on Kindle to supplement my tatty paper copies. And also rounded out my Kindle set of Innkeeper books so I have them in paper and ebook formats too. And made a note of which KD and Edge books I have in paper but not Kindle so I can buy them as well later this month… House Andrews is getting to be an expensive habit…
But as long as you keep writing them, I will keep buying them. I got my sister clued into your books several years ago, and she now buys everything you write too.

Possible spoiler*******
On a personal note Our House is tickled pink. We are part of Clan Duncan. My daughter married into the Duncan branch from near Edinburgh, her husband’s grandfather having last name Duncan. Keeping a family tradition on my side of the family we used his mum’s maiden name as a first name. Hence grandson named Duncan. The icing is that Duncan’s sister is Fiona.
It is not uncommon to see the names individually, but quite a happy jolt to see them linked.
Christina says
Congratulations! I loved everything about it!
Beth Leffler says
Aahh, I think other readers should be green with envy! How lucky are we to be gifted with HA generosity. ????
Deborah Roill says
Will this be on GraphicAudio?
Moderator R says
Which one do you mean, Ruby Fever or the latest Innkeeper? ????
Kimberly au Telemanus says
Always so genuinely and incredibly happy to hear of anything good happening to y’all, professionally or personally. My very very favorite authors!????
Ruby Fever was great, and I *cannot* wait for the new Innkeeper to be finished, as I’ve somehow been waiting(by the skin of my teeth) for it to be published in its entirety before I read it, since The Innkeeper chronicles are my very favorite by y’all and super special to me.
Rose says
The innkeeper chronicles are my favourite too. Can’t wait to hear more about Maud and Arland????????????????
Kristin says
Congratulations!!
Naenae says
congrats! enjoy the break/digging in
Kit says
Congratulations!!! You deserve it!
Aminah Cherry says
yay!!!!!!
Patricia Schlorke says
Congratulations! I know Ruby Fever was a slog for you to get through. Hopefully, the rest and relaxation from the Horde helped out. 🙂
When the Horde says we will read anything you write, we mean it.
Have fun with writing more Innkeeper. Friday will be here before we know it.
Somy says
Best of the Catlina’s books. I had preordered it on audible. It was a difficult wait until release of the audiobook while other readers were already admiring how good it was. And as a humanitarian worker, I was grateful for the donation of some of the gains to UN Refugee Agency.
Rose says
Congratulations ????????????
Liz says
Congratulations. Well deserved, as always!
Karen P says
You deserve ALL the attentions!! And the brushes and pets, thank you for writing, you bring joy to so many, joy cannot be under estimated.☺️
Ramona says
I read it and loved it. Now reading again more slowly to catch any details I missed the first time. Congratulations on a great story.
Catherine Dunnc says
I am loving Ruby Fever. I am rationing myself to make it last, a few pages every few days. Thank you both for your work, it is much appreciated.
Lisa says
Congrats!! It’s an amazing book, an incredible read ❤️❤️????????
Jane says
