Hey guys, Brandi Bolden here. I have a super exciting question to ask y’all. As you may have guessed from the title, that question is about Ilona Andrews merch. Yes, I know, I’m happy dancing too.
But before I can make your dreams of Ilona Andrews merch come true, I’m gonna need some help from y’all. This is where the question comes,
What exactly do you want to see become available as merch? I need you all to write to my personal email and tell me! Tell me which quotes you want and what kind of items you would like ( ex. hoodie, tee shirt, tote bags.)You can also write it in the comment section. Write your suggestion as a comment, and if you like somebody else’s comment, you can reply to it with +1. I included my email in the post, but just stop be safe it’s brandi.bolden202@gmail.com.
Alright, start suggesting!
I want exploding vampire heads on a pillow. And may be a small statue of a blood fist holding a sword. And (because I am greedy and this is what I really want) a small soft Beast with ALL the teeth.

+1 on cutting edge shirt
…I want the cider. (Yes, yes, I know selling alcohol raises all kinds of complications. And while I know a lot of brewers, I mostly know beer and mead makers. Still… And I am reminded of the half-planned Vermont cider tour. Hm.)
But I also know a really good ceramicist who does a lot of geek themed stuff who could probably do some amazing tankards on this theme if her schedule isn’t too full…
+1
+1 on the cider & Cutting Edge shirts
Cutting Edge t-shirt and Gertrude Hunt t-shirt.
I’ve been meaning to get a Mercy’s Garage t-shirt from Patricia Briggs, so CE and GH t-shirts would fit in nicely.
You have to go up to at least XX on women’s shirts, though.
Wait, we need a shirt for each series.
Kate – Cutting Edge
Innkeeper – Gertrude Hunt
Hidden Legacy – Baylor Detective Agency
Silver Shark universe – ??
Edge series – ??
Artwork that shows the inn keeper inn but with characters from all the different series inside and out.
You know the small, character stuffed type dolls that animes and games like Final Fantasy produce? Those for the main characters from the different series would be awesome. Even if they were mini ones. I keep picturing them on my desk or in my car and it makes me smile.
A tank with hidden legacy circle work with flames that would represent Catalina on the front and Catalina’s ‘wings’ on the back.
A tank with a quote from Kate Daniels. I’m at work and can’t remember the absolute full quote but it goes something along the lines of, “I can tie my shoes and carry my sword all on my own.” or something to that affect. Sorry, little to no sleep last night so on mental fumes
An inn keeper cloak. An inn keeper broom.
Hidden legacy medallion one could where with circle work on the front and something on the back, both representing specific characters
+1 to innkeeper cloak (this would be prizy but so worth it)
+1 to medallions, with a Hidden Legacy arcane symbol or Kate faction symbol (any)
+1
+1
+1
+1 to Artwork that shows the inn keeper inn .
+1
+1 for catalina’s tank
+1 for KD tank with quote
+1 for the innkeeper cloak
Gertrude Hunt glass or mug with some tiny brooms as a few of the alphabet characters
+1 on the Gertrude Hunt mugs.
+1 on the mug.
+1 on the mug!
+1 on the mug
+1 mugs
+1 to the Gertrude Hunt mug
+1 on mug for Innkeeper Series
+1 on any large mugs, esp w/ Olasard, Beast, and the creature from hidden legacy with the tentical mane (sorry, in car)
Ooh, how about when the mug is cold it’s nice Beast and when the mug is hot it’s kickass toothy Beast?
And for Olasard, he needs the caption of what his name means. Can’t remember what it is offhand, though.
+1
Soul Ripper, iirc.
+1 mug!
+1 on the mug or glass
+1
+1 on mug…
+1 mug
+1 the mug, but somewhere it’s got to have Gertude Hunt, the logo, and “Red Deer, Tx”.
(And be large enough. Is 12-ounces enough?)
Book cover posters; I especially like the ones for Kate Daniels 6 and onwards and of course Hugh
+1 on the book cover posters. Small ones on nice paper or bookplates!
+1 to book cover posters and book cover notebooks
+1
French covers as poster 🙂
+1 even smaller prints would be nice
+cover posters/artwork posters. I would hang the shit out of those.
+1 but only for innkeeper and if KD then the french covers 😉
Tee shirt with favorite one liners.
+1 oh yeah I would be all over that, or pj night shirts. And for price point I think Tote bags are the best idea too….
+1 “Here kitty, kitty” comes to mind. ?
+1 to “Here kitty, kitty” anything
+1 to “here kitty, kitty” anything
+1 Yes!! Here Kitty Kitty anything!!!
+1
+1 Taste the Undead Rainbow.
+1 to this
+1 totally this! XD
+1 tees, mugs, pajamas, sweatshirts…ect.
I think “I am exactly the Daughter you deserve.”-Kate
Oooh +10000
+1
Okay, I am not a t-shirt person, generally, but that one I might buy.
+1
+1 for all the series!
Another one liner I just thought of “I do so hate to be bored” – Linus Duncan.
+1 though I feel +1000000 about that quote on a t-shirt but Brandi said just to put +1 and I’m trying to follow the directions 😉
+1 one liners are the best 😀
T-shirt or tote: “If sky could dream it would dream of dragons” from Steel’s Edge
+100 to this. This is a beautiful quote. I would love this on the back of a hoodie and as a t-shirt.
+1
This quote basically on anything, but hoodie would be great!
I love this quote and I’d buy it on any clothing (PJ’s would suit) or a mug.
+1
+ 1
Basically this quote on everything: t-shirt, mugs, pillowcase, etc.
+1 this quote on a pillowcase would be perfect!
+1
+1
+1
+1
+100 on shirt. I actually went looking for a shirt with this phrase about 2 years ago-sadly didn’t find one.
+1 for that is one of the most beauitful quotes and I’d love it on anything
I would love large coffee mugs. Could make one as an souvenir from the innkeeper, “Top Ten Inn in the Universe” see reviews in the Innkeeper Directory. One could advertise Cutting Edge. One could advertise Baylor Investigative Agency.
+1 for large coffee mugs! I would love art from all of Ilona’s books on it, with favorite quotes!!
+1 for coffee mugs with art and/or quote. I’ve got my Harry Potter mug, my Doctor Who mug, my… well I like mugs lol.
+1
+1 for a decent sized mug !
Love this idea also and I’d buy one of each. Maybe travel mugs or water bottles, too?
+1
+1 for coffee mug, but it would have to have a vampire quote on it. Not sure which.
How about “Some people just can’t handle their coffee”
?
OOOH! +many!
I don’t even drink coffee – tea, yes, but not coffee. I would buy at least two of them – one to keep and one to gift.
+1 mugs.
I would also love Cutting Edge and Baylor Investigative Agency shirts as well. I’m super partial to tank tops :). Or travel mugs.
+1 as long as they are large! (My favorite holds a 3 cup pot – 20 oz it says on the bottom)
Cutting Edge mug!
A letter opener would be cool, a sword for Kate and a broom for Dina and maybe a gun for Nevada.
Speaking of Nevada… a replica of her diamond necklace (but please don’t charge $20+ million dollars of it ?). And maybe her wedding ring.
Oh and if you put it in a blind bag I’ll buy it. No joke… like squishys! I love them!!! Ones of the shifters in Kate Daniels and the Bear, the kitty and the weird cat thingy from the Hidden Legacy series and Beast and the Chef from the Innkeeper Chronicles.
+1 Love the letter opener idea. Orro and Zeus (weird cat thing from HL) plushies would be so adorable.
Omg, a plushie Orro would be fabulous! With a chef knife in his hand and maybe his Cleaver rating badge on his chest??
+1
+1 for Orro and Curran plushie
I like shiny baubles, too, so I am all on board with a Tear of the Aegean replica and maybe the wedding band Hugh gets for Elara (I really like the description of it). Should be affordable, but at the same time not too tacky looking, so maybe silver with semi-precious gemstones (topaz, tourmaline, zirkon, apatite or something like that)…
+1
Love those stones!! Earrings!
+ 1 for Tear of the Aegean and Elara’s wedding band
+1 on the shiny yet understated jewelry in sterling silver!
+1 on the letteropeners.
+1
Forgot some quotes!!
Clean Sweap:
Arland to Sean
“I suggest you give up now. According to my research, in a vampire-werewolf love triangle, the vampire always gets the girl.”
Magic Bleeds:
Kate Daniels to the Council
“If you’ve come to remove me, come in force, because if you try to separate me from him, I will kill everyone one of you. My hand won’t shake. My aim won’t falter. My face will be the last thing you’ll see before you die.”
Wildfire:
Nevada
“ I had been hugged by a super intelligent, pacifist bear. I could do this. I could do anything.”
Or
Linus to Nevada
“Besides, things around you have a way of turning interesting. I do hate to be bored.”
Or ‘unknown Ceaser’ to Victoria
“ You like to do things that make life interesting. We both do so hate to be bored.”
+ on the letter openers. That would be awesome.
Id like a Quillonian and a Lees. Design or plushie :).
How about your book covers available as posters?
+1 with sunflower apron for Orro and jeweled for Lees
t-shirts with snappy one-liners. Easy to mail anywhere and unbreakable.
+1!!
The ones from Kate are the best!
+1
Plushies wearing quote tees, like Curran referenced in above picture, but for other characters(i.e. Dali, Jim, Mahon, George, Doolittle). Or if that is too pricy mini-tees for people to dress their own plushies.
Rogan’s army id tag. Stationery with House Baylor, House Rogan and Gertrude Hunt Inn logo/House symbol. Wax seals would be awesome too. Official versions of Rogan’s and Nevada’s wedding invitations.
+1
Rogan’s army id tags (yeah!)
+1 on the waxseals.
+1 I’d like some stationary. House Baylor, House Rogan with some magic circle or some cutting edge stationary. Let’s face it, every time I need paper or jot down a note… It’s gone. I’m not opposed to bright br Colour so I can find my favorite paper.
+1 to stationery for every series. Notepads, notebooks, pens, pencils, folders… I’ll buy it all!
I would like to have a kitchen apron with Orro in the kitchen
+1
+1 especially if it had his egg quote like Best chefs make a simple egg or something
+1
+1
+1 Orro Apron. And maybe Orro’s cookbook? 😀
+1 to Orro apron with sunflowers. Maybe one of his quotes? Something out of: “Like a primitive savage who sets out to tame the wilderness armed with nothing but a knife and his indomitable will, I will persevere. I will wrestle victory from the greedy jaws of defeat. I shall rise like a bird of prey upon the current of the wind, my talons raised for the kill, and I shall strike true.”
+1
The quote is great. Thank you for sharing!
I’m more likely to wear a T-shirt than an apron … but not ruling it out …
Could it be red?
Curran plush
Baby Conlan plush
+1
+1, but Curran plushie needs to be gray (and why was he gray in all the books but turned black as a god and stayed black thereafter?) and Conlan plushie needs to be black.
Definitely shirts or big mugs. Sayings, or characters, or characters with sayings.
1. Kate Daniels stationary with Julie’s quote from the wedding cards slogan she suggested “Gore, Swords and Severed Heads!” I believe that is the wording Julie used in Book 8, when Kate hated the wedding invitations that Roman created.
2. Ilona and Gordon Keyrings figures of those awesome anime figures they use on the blog. I especially like the Ilona with horns.
-+1
+1 on the keyrings
maybe a keyring that says Book Devouring Horde or their icons with BDH or Authorlord .
+1 on book devouring horde
+1
+1
+1 on the Keyrings
T shirts! With quotes or “ the book devouring horde” on them. Stuff for all her series!
Good quality T-shirts with the soft stretchy material. Please have plus sizes available! Please!
Raina,
You beat me with the Book Devouring Horde option.
Good job.
Oohhhh BDH! +1!
+1 BDH shirts and totes
+1
+1 How about a book with a bite out of it for a picture? That way people won’t read the shirt without the picture and look at all of us funny. 🙂
Love this!
+1
+1
Yes, please be sure that t-shirts come in lots of plus sizes! I’ll pay extra!
+ BDH is a must!
Baylor, Cutting Edge, The Golden Legion, Iron Dogs logo on buttons, bookmarks, stationary.
Bookmarks with quotes, “Put your badass faces on and follow me” or “My own personal psycho.” A bookmark that resembles an innkeeper’s broom?
Maybe bandannas with stylized circlework.
I, personally, would adore a shirt that says “We are besieged by murderous poultry,” but I am uncertain that would have traction.
For those of us living in the U.S., I can see the “We are besieged by murderous poultry” t-shirt worn on Thanksgiving. 😀
+1 lol on the poultry
+1 on the group/business logos, but I would be more likely to buy them on a fitted tee (LS or SS). I also love the suggested quotes on this post: poultry, badasses, and my own personal psycho. As for any other products, reusable shopping bags/totes would work in addition to tees.
+1
+1
I would buy it.
A baseball tee and a hoody with “sweat is just weakness leaving your body” please!
T-shirts: “Proud member of the Book Devouring Horde” t-shirt (or just “Book Devouring Horde”), Today!, “Use Your Words”, “Ripper cushions”, “Why me?”
Fart gun
Or Kate’s quote from when she was fighting all the challengers. My hand will not shake and my knife will be the last you see” I’m currently on a re-reading binge and everything blends together.
+1
This may be crazy, but what about bookmarks? For all the stories if possible.
+1
+1
+1. But laminated or some sort of material that will hold up to wear.
+1
Baseball tee with House Baylor insignia.
+1
Anything printed with some cool circle work. Shirts, books, bags etc that are made to look like actual company stuff for Gertrude Hunt, Cutting Edge or Baylor Investigations. Its so much fun to wear fan stuff that regular people would overlook. Only another fan would get it.
+1
+1
+1
+1 oh yeah, it’s always nice when you see someone have smt from certain fandom and know that person is one of us XD
Comfy pants. Any series, any design. I would probably buy all of them.
My favorite merch has always been t-shirts that only other fans will get. I have a raglan tee of Mercy’s Garage, a v-neck with the molnija marks etc…I like the idea of Cutting Edge, Baylor Investigations, Order of the Knights of Merciful Aid, Iron Dogs etc. logo t-shirts
+1
You could also have a shirt advertising the Baha-char market.
+1
+1
Shirt with Medrano Reclamations
Wasn’t there a quote about fighting someone who is menacing the city so that Kate can get a little “me time”?
‘That pain is just a weakness leaving your body’ quote on a work out shirt!
Whatever you decide on please make it available in Canada as well . T-shirt seem to be the most universal merch .
The line from Innkeeper that’s something like ‘yes, yes, the princess you came to rescue took her sword and went off to kill the dragon. So sorry.’ (Can’t remember the exact phrase, but it was brilliant.) T-shirt or Hoodie. Please offer plus sizes!
+ 1000 for plus sizes!
+1 love that quote!
oh +1000000 on the plus sizes, not just mens xxxlarge but actual womens plus sizes
Yes! A tee shirt, large mug, or a tote bag with this quote would be awesome!
Also these three items with the classic Here Kitty, kitty, kitty or with the BDH or any of the great quotes already mentioned above would also be god.
I would also like a plushie lion wearing the Here kitty tee shirt like you have pictured above. I missed out on getting one a few years ago.
+1 for plus sizes. Real plus sizes, not a size 10 equals a 1X type of plus size.
Wow, yes! Love that dragon quote …
On another note, I wanted to note Cuddles, but not sure how to work her into merch.
Also remember Marigold. Kate had good quotes about her fondness for, and appreciation of, her loyal and sensible …
mounts? (horses, donkeys, giant-mutant-Paint-mule ??)
+1
+1 oooooooooh definitely this one! On a t-shirt or hoodie or smt
I’d love to have the Pack sweats available (not as sets but top and bottom separate) and/or Order workout clothes (like shirts with “property of The Order of Merciful Aid”). Cutting Edge staff shirts would be cool too.
Also Roman merch! Dude needs more love. A black t shirt with a Roman quote or two would be awesome.
BRING THE COWS!!
T-shirt please. Amazon Merch premium Tees fit small but are great. Readers just need to ignore the male/female labeling and buy according to chest size.
Yes to anything, love tee shirts with quotes on them from any of the books, or Cuttting Edge or Gertrude Hunt Inn.
or large mugs with Arcane circles Is that how you spell it.
or maybe hoodies with logo or quotes. And maybe something with Honey muffins, or Aunt B Bouda crew, still miss Aunt B.
Basically,I am so excited I can’t think .
And I saw that Diamond Sapphire on sale at Amazon. !!!!!!!
Canvas tote bag with the Baha-char image
On beast: “Hey, Baby”
A note book with a hiru would be neat +1 to the plushies of all kinds +1 for the quote shirts or hoodies maybe a charm bracelet not sure what charms it could have and maybe something that says I’m a part of the BDH
What about a series of plushies for the monsters/mythologies in Kate’s world?
I like coasters and bags, but not a smal bag. One I can take to do grocery shopping. (When I was in the US 3 years ago, I bought one of vans, for a good cause I was told, and I still use it.)
For Innkeeper, something that says “I stayed at Gertrude Hunt, and all I got was this xxxxx” (substitute in tee shirt, bag, etc for the xxxxx).
For Kate, Cutting Edge Investigation swag (tees, bags, coozies, etc)
maybe with a silhouette of the “here kitty kitty” moment?
Would love t-shirts and/or sweatshirts with quotes from Roman (maybe with a graphic of his staff getting ready to bite). Also any shirt with “advertising ” for the different companies/groups from the different books.
Also just thought of it toques or tucker hats with either quotes or I survived unicorn lane ?
I’d buy a hoodie with that picture of Arland on the back… I’d even wear it to the RARE event in Paris
+1 on a Cutting Edge shirt with a quote from Kate ?
I love a good spiral bound notebook with a really firm cover. there are great design ideas here already so im re-purposing some of the suggestions from tshirt/ bag ideas:
-Sketch of Gertrude Hunt
-Circle work imagery from HL
-Pack insignia, Guild insignia, Cutting Edge Investigations, Iron Dogs
-Here Kitty Kitty
-Book Devouring Horde
+1 Mugs, Notebooks, Greeting cards with quotes signed by the BDH:
“Amateurs!”
“…so just the birds then?”
“Ripper Cushions”
“We’re besieged by murderous poultry.”
Oh, man. Oh, man, oh, man. My brain is jelly right now. But I would really like a cookbook “written by” Orro – the best chicken in the world, etc, although I have a feeling it would be a difficult thing to come up with recipes matching the amazing descriptions in the book!
Also “Hey, Asskicker” on something. 😉
A work-out tank top or water bottle with: “No pain, no gain! That pain is just weakness leaving your body! Come on! Push! Push! Make that weight your bitch!”
BAHAHAHAAAA!!!!
+1 I love the idea of a cookbook inspired by the Ilona Andrews worlds!
+1 a tank top with No pain quote is a must! I would always wear it when exercising 😀
A calendar with the cover art would be amazing! And key rings and/or pin badges as many different designs as possible! Anything that won’t attract huge amounts of overseas shipping costs ??♀️
+1!
Ooohhh the calendar is a GREAT idea too!
Hoodie’s and T-shirts.
Cutting Edge Investigations small logo on front above left breast. Back has “Staff”
Order of Knights of Merciful Aid on front above left breast. On back- “Knight” , on the sleeve, running the length of the sleeve, the words, “Diviner”, or “Protector” or “Master of Arms” or “Striker” or “Abettor” or “Archivist”.
-Baylor Investigative Services on front above left breast. On back “Staff”
-B’s Best Cider on Front above left breast. On the back a Bouda holding a bottle.
Use Gildan hoodies and t-shirts, they are the best in fit and color
+1
Hey Brandi,
Your email link isn’t working, could you please look into it? Thank you and thank you for putting together all this data!
Hoodies and Ts… a group of multicoloured sunscreened vampires with ‘taste the undead rainbow’ on it!
Awesome idea!!!
+1
I’d like to see a fake Tear of the Aegean!
+1
+1
+7
+1
But a good quality fake, like Swarovski quality
+1
+1
if it is too expensive to make in advance, then maybe you could only produce them once they have been ordered. I suspect the BDH would find no fault with longer waiting times/shipping to have a better quality product 🙂
+1
+ 1. May I suggest a steel or platinum or silver coloured setting?
+1
+1
+1
+1
+1000! I have wanted this since I first read about it!
+1 With some sort of reference to it being “A shiny rock” 🙂
+1, although I would say Cubic Zirconia which is inexpensive, sparkles more like a diamond than lead glass crystal and is also more durable.
As Catalina’s series appears to be going down the gemstone in the title route, you could do a different piece per book. For example, a ring in the form of a tiara with a synthetic “paraiba” color beryl. There is an excellent Russian manufacturer of synthetics based in Bangkok, btw.
+1
+1
+1
I’d like a poster/postcard with all the people that are important to Kate, then another one of Nevada’s people. Like a family picture but bigger but not as big as the superheroes all over the page
+1
+1
With funny/epic one-liners or passages e.g.:
Here, kitty kitty. (seen above)
Dragons and Tigers and me without my ruby slippers.
Ripper cusions
….
The list goes on
+1
+1
+1
+1
+1, poster so it can be framed
I’d love to see a coffee mug with the quote “ There Will Be Ripper Cushions”.
+ 1
And a tote bag
+1
Also, a mug with the quote “ If I could, I’d Punch Today Right In The Face” One of my favorite coffee mugs is from Laurel K Hamilton, it says “ It’s Okay, Necromancers Have Mortgages Too.”
+1
+1
+1
+1
+1 My husband and I say “There will be Serious Ripper Cushions, ” ALL the time. Would love it on a mug, tote, or T-shirt.
+1 – There will be Ripper Cushions!
+1 on the Ripper Cushions!
+1
A black tank-top (sleeveless) T-shirt with bold letters across the front:
[something bold and bad ass from Kate or Curran or Rogan …]
[hmmm … maybe …]
“Then I’ll cull them until they stop being a problem.”
Hmmm, though, maybe not “Ripper cushions!”
Folks might think I’m referring to myself as having cushions … well-blessed, but not quite cushions! 😉
BTW, I have a sign on my desk:
“Be Rogan.”
(The motivated, loyal, well-organized, get things done guy … not so much the hurricane angle 😉
(You know, the guy who bought the surrounding property and made a base … totally, my hero!!)
+1
+1
+1
+1
+1
+1 to a family picture for Kate and Nevada (new atwork). It could be a group picture from their wedding.
Bunnycat plushie or a shirt with it eating strawberries and bacon.

+1
+1+2+3+4+5+6 on the bunniecat plushie!!!!
+1 with something that says “Sile, Bunnie”
+1
+1
+1 I want a bunny cat! Oh, my word, I have plus oned every suggestion— I need ALL this awesome stuff!
How about a t-shirt with a picture of a bunnycat that says “Save The Bunnycats”?
I agree about the overseas postage cost, that is likely to limit what we can buy. I would like a member of the BDH tee shirt. Book cover posters, or tee shirts or even mouse mats! Bookmarks with quotes. Our most quoted line at home is now ‘pictures or it didn’t happen. ( I can’t remember the exact quote from hidden legacy series.)
Tote bags, and of course here kitty kitty kitty on any merchandise. I would love a mug but we are overseas. There are so many things that can be sold, it is choosing the ones that will sell.
+1 on all these suggestions!
+1 on TOTES! Also on it saying “Here, kitty, kitty, kitty.” But also TOTES saying something from Hidden Legacy and from Innkeeper. I need lots of Totes to carry my books, and stuff.
+1 Totes
Easy to produce and useable 🙂
+1 pictures or it didn’t happen
+1 on the pictures or it didn’t happen.
+1
These sound good to me too, but I would love a lion on the Here, kitty, kitty tees.
+1
+1 LOVE “here kitty, kitty” (tote, t-shirt, bumper sticker…..)
+1 on the lion/kitty/t-shirt combo
+1 on totes!
+1
The covers would be easy to do as they already have the art if they want to list them on a site like Cafe Press. They could be made into T-shirts, mugs, etc.
Personally I would buy a mug and that lion in the picture for the post.
Tote: “there will be ripper cushions” or something to that effect.
mouse pads would be great, too – pretty much anything from any of the books, or book covers
Yass!! mouse pads with pics of each crew. For Innkeeper, Dina, Sean, Caldenia, Beast, Orro, Maude, Arland, Cookie…thinking Star Wars type movie poster style. And one for Hidden Legacy and Kate!
Or thinking Vanity Fair, Annie Liebovitz style pic of everyone.
+1

Ripper cushions

+1 on it all

Dang. Don’t know when this post came out, but there are over 200+ comments.
I’m sure it’s been said before, but I’d love some T-shirts with perhaps a book cover image on the front and all the best phrases from that book on the back. Like “birds are assholes”.
Oh +1 on this idea…qoutes on the back, cover on the front would be cool. Tank top?
+ 1 for T shirts
And one of the quotes needs to be “There will be ripper cushions.”
+ 1 … black T-shirt … preferably sleeveless, please?
+1 Ripper Cushions for all!
+1. Although I’d also like this idea as a tote too.
+1
I’d like a poster like this https://www.wallstars.se/tavlor/940-london-poster-online.html but with quotes from all series and names. The site with the example is swedish, but I think you’ll get the idea.
These are great and can be printed in different sizes you only need to great this layout or the wordcloud or whatever once.
Oooh, I like this idea as a tote. I don’t have much wall space.
+1 to wordcloud posters and notebooks. One for each series, Kate, Hidden Legacy and Innkeeper.
Stuffed animals of the shifters would be cute. Mostly, I’d love T-shirts, hoodies, pjs, etc with logos for things like Cutting Edge, the PAD, the Mercenary Guild, etc. I wish I could think of more, but it’s been a while and I need a reread.
+1
+1
+1
+1
+1 on the shirts and hoodies with logos. I’d love a Cutting Edge or Baylor Agency shirt
+1 on the hoodie…Baylor Agency, but maybe also “brought to you by House Baylor”
A BAYLOR AGENCY PRINT AD ON A TOTE OR T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+1
+1 Cutting Edge T-Shirt or PAD or Knights of Merciful Aid t-shirt would be so cool
+1
I love logo shirts that are more subtle but still repping your favorites!
+1
+1. Yes I like the subtle insider logos
+1 I’d love a Knights of Merciful Aid tee!
+1
+1 on the logos! Especially Cutting Edge, Mercenary Guild, PAD and Pack
+1

+1
Stuffed animals of Shapeshifters. GREAT idea! 1+
+1 Especially subtle logos, like House Krahr, or ones that people would have to look at twice, like Rafael’s construction company.
+1 Cutting Edge logo OR one from Saiman or The Guild after the rebuild.
Conlan plush, Tshirt, posters with quotes, book covers posters
Conan plush should have a shirt that says “Got Honey”
I would love sweatshirts – particularly with quotes like “all families have odd moments. Our family just has them more often than others.” – different sweatshirts for each of the series. ?
+1
+1
+1 (would be awesome bumper sticker too )
+1 BUMPER STICKERS
+1 for the sticker…
+1 ?

+ 1 quote. Hoodie would be preferable to sweatshirt … but latter would be appreciated, too. 🙂
+1
Oh, darn. Too many choices. Just be aware that I WILL be buying at least some of whatever comes out of your fertile imaginations. It will be much better than my ideas anyway.
Thank you. I appreciate you considering this.
Also comments from wizard Luther. Or Kate responding “I thought you said I was besmirched for quitting?” Now that I write it – lame. But I really liked the repartee between Luther and Kate.
Replicas of Luther’s shirts would be fun.
+1
Definitely Luther’s hoodie with “Wizard at Large” on it, or the one with “Knight on the streets, Wizard in the sheets”.
+1
+1 for the Luther T-shirt “Wizard at Large”
+1
+1
I not sure this was mentioned. By I’d like a copy of some of the artwork that was commissioned for Innkeeper. Several of the artworks are beautiful and detailed. Dana, the market place and hands down the hot vampire, Arland would look great on any merch. ?
+1
+1
+1
Especially with quotes from characters
I took the cover of Dina from Sweep in Peace and had it for my background on several computers/tablets/phones. I then replaced most of them with some of the other art that is used in the chapters online of the Innkeeper stories or the one from HL from a few months ago with the Arcane Circle. All would be interesting.
+1
OMG +1+1+1 and on!!!!!
+1
“You gave a vampire coffee?” on one side of a VERY large mug
and “Oh crap.” on the other or inside with Gertrude Hunt image/silhouette with a “Welcome to the Inn” sign.
+1
+1
+1

+1
A Gertrude Hunt mug would be cool.

I have the Gertrude Hunt field day T- shirt and I love it .! I have would love more funny ones from the inn and KD
+1
+1
+1
+1 on the vampire coffee mug
+1
+1
+1
+1
+1
+1 on that coffee mug!!! I’d buy at least one of those!
+1 on coffee mugs! I collect them. Large mugs, at least 20 ounce. (I cheat on my “just one cup of day” by using a 20-ounce mug. What can I say, it amuses me.) But “here, Kitty, Kitty” with a picture of a lion would be great, or a vampire mug, or any of Luther’s sayings.
+1
+1
+1 that sounds awesome
+1!
“According to my research, in a vampire-werewolf love triangle, the vampire always gets the girl.”
?
I’ve never been able to get my hands on one of those lions, I want one of him!
+1
+1
I have wanted one since I saw them!
+1 Me too!
+1. I would love a lion. I have always wanted one but I am unable to travel to any signings to get them. If you sold them I am sure they would be very popular.
+1
I agree with sweatshirts and tees with funny quotes. Also tote bags if they are of the reusable grocery bag style. I like funny stickers for my laptop case too!
+1
1+ Laptop stickers, car stickers etc
+1 Or “stickers” for messaging on a smartphone. I love the ones from the Mutts comic strip.
+1+1+1+1+1+1
I love the idea of a reusable grocery tote!
Side note, Target gives you a small discount when you bring your own bags.
I would like to see some of the funco pop type figures for all the main characters of all the story lines. My hubby has a bunch of that style figurine and they are awesomely cute!
Meant to say funco pop STYLE not necessarily that brand
+1
+ 1. I collect Funko Pops and I already have one that I have mis-purposed as a character from Kate Daniels series 🙂
Some lovely suggestions above. T-shirts with various quotes/images (as suggested above) will always sell!
I am about to suggest something that won’t fly, but would be so much fun: robust dog and cat toys of the various bad guys (and gals) in KD, Hidden Legacy and The Edge. Well…fun for us pet-owners (and pets) anyway!
Don’t forget a ferret!
Thanks for organizing this Brandi 🙂 And thanks to the Authorlords – merchandise is not an easy item as it can be quite time consuming.
A were toy but instead of a squeekie it makes a fart sound lol
Seriously though, tees would be great with funny quotes – with some Vneck options preferably pretty please.
And the here kitty kitty Curran stuffed toy you have in the photo.
I don’t buy too much stuff – house is full already.
+1
Bookmarks, aprons, tshirts and Ripper cushions is a must. what about transfers that can go on mugs and could be changed as one got used up – no issues on cost to post and transfers mean you can have many, many mugs!!!
oh and what about iron on transfers so you get your own tshirt or hoody and cut out postage cost issues. OR badges that can be sewn on so could create totes or add to jeans or hats!
With a world-wide audience, decals and transfers make a lot of sense. It would cut both the cost of shipping and storage.
+1
Could we have a ripper cushion? Please
+1
Great on to put stickers or transfers on laptops, etc
A “BDH” badge or “use your words”
ooh, super smart!!!!
Yes, please: badges, etc. that can be sewn on …
(The iron on type don’t seem to stay … and peel or fray or wrinkle … I’m probably doing it wrong. But sewn on stays!)
Cutting Edge would be my favourite …
+1
A T-Shirt that has an image of Helen with the caption “Ripper Cushions” please.
+1
OMG Yes please, pretty please +1
+1
+1 Oh Yes Please!!!!!
I would like a shirt or hoodie with the fast, good, or cheap quote from Innkeeper 3
+1
Also include Sean’s statement that it’s the law of the universe.
+1
+1
+ 1 + many … oh, so many people need to hear this …
A shirt with the phrase:
“In the AuthorLords we trust!”
signed BDH
++1
This may be a little difficult but:
T-Shirt, Sweatshirts/sweaters and coloring books of the circles that Nevada, Rogan and the others use in the Hidden Legacy series. The clothes can have the circles in front and some quotes on the back.
Then obviously some Curran and Conlan plushie with an “Here, Kitty, Kitty” quote on the shirt that he will wear.
Sarrat and Slayer replicas or plushies and/or drawn on some clothes…
+1,000,000
Conan plush should have a shirt that says “Got Honey”
+1 Got Hunny!
I’d like a t shirt with a picture of Conlan the black lion cub with a caption about singing the sad song of his people.
+1 for the image
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
+1
+1
Yes, that’s the best!!!!!!!!!! (next to Luther)
Shirt and/or bag (the grocery shopping kind) with ˋProud member of the BDH´
+1
I’ve seen tote bags come up a bunch, so I’m wondering if Chico Bags (or something similar) would be a possibility. I’m a fan – because I’ll actually use them, all the time, unlike most tote bags which will join my stack of tote bags. (Hey, I can’t stuff four of them into my shoulder bag, or clip them onto a purse strap.)
I’m a fan of the more subtle things – I’d like Biohazard insignia, or circle work, or whatever 🙂
+1. I agree with high-quality usable cloth bags with something subtle
+1
+1 insignia as/on whatever
– “Thank you for staying at the Gertrude Hunt” tote/chico bags & postcards 🙂
– or a pad of Gettrude Hunt stationary (like the ones they have at hotels)
– postcards or posters of the Gertrude Hunt ballroom floor design from Book2 or any of the existing artworks from the Innkeeper books
+1111111
I would like picture on t-shirt. Two towers with burning bridge under stormy sky. On top of these towers shoud be sharrum and sharratum screaming their heads of at each other. Preferably in old language. There could be Barnabas triyng put out the fire on the bridge. And some crosse siluets in background.
Hmmm. Do you think it is tooo much?
Totes and collapsible grocery bags
Magnets
Decals
Stickers
I use Helmers (metal drawers from IKEA) for storage and love to decorate them.
I would pay a lot of money for an Innkeeper project bag for my stitching.
I would love an abstract image of an inn keeper in a cloak with a broom as a magnet or sticker. Or just the broom in active mode, with the blue.
Something with Andrea and Raphael
“Party Starter” tshirt (Andrea’s gun ❤️)
Funny slogan shirts, possibly with corresponding images? Example of the plushie lion at the top of the page, only on a tshirt. And for all series, not just the KD verse
I would love all kinds of things that say “You’re more like a crazy aunt that gets called when somebody needs bailing out of jail.” 🙂
+1
I would love a travel knitting bag with the phrase “Just stay close to us. If we get in trouble, we’ll kill everything.” from Fate’s Edge on it.
Oo yes; and what’s that line from Kate and Curran about killing a train?
I’ve seen a couple suggestions for t-shirts with logos for Cutting Edge, PAD, etc and had a sudden image of the BDH as Harry Potter fans divided into factions. So +1 to whoever suggested badges or shirts with logos of each of the Atlanta factions and Cutting Edge. I’d wear a shirt with Aunt B’s cider logo too. I also really like the Hidden Legacy circle work suggestions. There are so many quotable lines in all the series… I’m loving so many of the suggestions, but totes and badges are my favorites – useful and let you decide how/where it goes.
I can’t remember the exact quote, but the one where Kate kicks the door open, kills the wolf alpha, and was all, “If you come for us, you better make sure you kill us. My hand won’t shake, my sword won’t falter…”
Favorite scene in a book. It was the moment Kate became IT for me. Just not sure how to incorporate it with merch. Maybe on a black tee? With a pic of a knife through a table? Or something with “the ultimate ride or die”?
+1 Maybe shortened to:
“My hand won’t shake. My sword won’t falter.”
+1 shortened
+1
+1
A) Black Tee with beautiful Gold font.
B) Light Pink “V” neck Tee with sparky gold font
Roman’s staff and “careful, he bites!” or similar, would be great on a hoodie.
Mercenary Guild, Baylor Invetigations, Clan (Cat, Wolf, Boyd’s, etc), Cutting Edge, House Rogan Security, (Knight of) House Krahr, “My honored ancestor visited Baha-char and all I got was this crappy T-shirt” T-shirts
Innkeeper themed bathrobes
+1 robes
And/or cloaks? I would totally get one for Halloween to walk around the neighborhood in. That way my kids won’t be all “Why aren’t you dressed up” and I won’t feel silly being the only mom going all out again ?
Got to have a T-Shirt for House Rogan with a Dragon!
+1
+1 to Baha-char and crappy tee shirt quote. Could work just as well with crappy key chain, tote bag, etc.
+1
I will buy anything that says “book devouring horde.” Just love that! But no longer wear picture Tshirts.
+1 that’s great
It’s hard because you have so many good stories, so many fabulous quotes, but one I didn’t see is anything about Kate and Curran’s wedding day. Not sure which quote, or even which merch item, but that achievement seriously deserves merchandise immortalization. Maybe a quote by the Volhv. S(orry if I didn’t spell that right.)
A t-shirt with a raven that says, “I don’t do Doves”. 🙂
+1
Maybe some enamel pins, which are in right now (so says my 24-year old son). Images of Gertrude Hunt, a broom, a sword, a lion, an arcane circle….there are a lot of companies that produce the pins wholesale.
I would love a mug with a sign that says “Welcome to Gertrude Hunt” with a broom leaning against it.
+1!
I would love a here kitty kitty Curran and an Orro as well 🙂 🙂
I love all the ideas so far. I’d like to recommend decals instead of bumper stickers though. 1. If you change vehicles it can go with you and 2. My husband paints cars and they are sacrilege to his people so I’m not aloud to have one. Thanks!
+11111111 GREAT IDEA!!!
How about merch with pictures of the vamps from KD in sunblock with “Taste the undead rainbow”. Love that one.
Also, maybe fridge magnets or bumper stickers (which I just put on my fridge with magnets anyhow). But the magnets more like those 3×3 inch ones that are plastic coated (like the ones that you see that have 1950’s quotes & pics). They would be easy and cheaker for the UK BDH.
+1
Taste the undead rainbow. YES!
“There will be ripper cushions” with a picture of Helen, Beast, and the cat peering out from under the table cloth. I know it’s mixing timelines but I laugh every time I think of that trio.
I would like a black cushion that says “ripper” on it in white letters. I don’t know if that’s been suggested because there are like 400+ suggestions already, but that’s what I want.
Of course, I also wanted to name our dog “Peeve” but my husband wouldn’t let me because he didn’t want to have a pet peeve.
Well, I think I’m funny.
I love that!
I could go for a pet peeve!
I dunno if it has already been suggested but I don’t have enough time right now to look through all the comments (homework to be done ahah) and I’m scared of forgetting if I wait for later. Sorry in advance if I just repeat someone’s else ideas.
For the Hidden Legacy series, I’d love something that can be use in a business-like environment/workplace. My first thought was a diary, or the type of notebooks that can be used to write down all sorts of information (like contacts, notes, with a calendars, etc…) so that we could use it at work on a daily basis.
My second thought was a clipboard.
I haven’t thought about the design yet but I’m pretty sure Nevada’s rules (the three ones, especially being able to look at yourself in front of a mirror at the end of the day ?) would fit somewhere =)
“Once bought, we stay bought.”
Yes, that one has come to mind a few times. Steered me through some situations.
3 good rules. Especially that one.
+ 1 for the 3 rules and also separately “Once bought, we stay bought.”
A t shirt with a girl squatting down in a big dirty building with her hand held out and in one corner gold eyes is all you see and under it here kitty kitty
A bib with a baby lion, singing the sad song of his people I loved that comment
I NEED the lion on your pic: “Here, kitty, kitty”
And
A black cushion with “there will be ripper cushions”. Perhaps some “fangs” hanging/standing out on two sides.
I TOTALLY need something/anything with Ripper Cushions!!
Logo Tee or hoodie with Kate’s business Cutting Edge logo.
Pretty much all snark from Kate, Curran, Andrea, Maude.
Action figures of the Horde, stuffed animal of the lees (with apron of course), and Orro (squeeze him and his quills stick out?!).
How about ornaments? Flat ones with various designs or quotes so the shipping won’t be too much for international fans. Or one of those flat pack type of ornaments that you can unfold and pop-up.
I’d also be interested in skins for technology (phones, laptops, tablets, e-readers).
Oh, travel mugs or water bottles. I think the company Tervis does custom business orders.
Or (and this would probably take a couple of years) a world of Ilona Andrews desk calendar. One of those day to day ones. That way we could have quotes and artwork from each series. Or a blank planner, where you can fill in the day, month, year, and there’s artwork or a book quote on every page.
Last one: Garden flags. Or tapestries. Not the giant ones, but the ones that are about 20” x 27”.
+1 with “Use your words”
Favorite quote – “No. Not my circus, not my undead monkeys.“ from Magic Shifts
+1
on anything!
p.s Dear Pandora( Brandi and Authorlords) Thanks for opening the box! Bahahahah!
+1
It would be neat to take the quiz that determines what you are in the kate daniels world and then not know until you get the coffee mug with the answer and an appropriate picture and saying.
This sounds fun!
I like this!
Heh.
… But the ones I really want weren’t even on the list!
+1
+1 mug Kate gave to G.
A stuffed animal range from the Kate Daniels series for the shifters, as well as ones from the Innkeeper chronicles (Orro would be awesome).
+1 for Orro
+1 for Orro (and the others as well)
+1 “Don’t die, small human”
1+++, Orro and Helen and Beast too…ooooo, the Lees alone!!
+1
+5, I am frequently possessed so I vote for me and my demons.
Orro….absolute volumes of cute hedgehogs out there.
Not a fan of little dogs, but a Shitzu wearing a “Beast” T shirt…cool
And Lees! Tufft ear’d foxes…a whole box of foxes…..oh the possibilities.
Well chosen Valerie T!
+++1 for Beast
+1 to a Lees plushie. Or if a plushie would be too expensive/hard to make, at least an artwork of lees in a calendar, poster, notebook or a magnet.
In my mind’s eye Orro has always been Bowser from Mario Bros., only with different coloring…
+1 for Orro
+1+1+1+1 for the Lee’s (think of all their little outfits!)
+1 for Orro
Conan plush should have a shirt that says “Got Honey”
+1 Orro and Aunt B.
+1. Also a bunny cat
I love,all the ideas and would shop it all, especially calendars dull of snark. Just wanted to share we have a Very small scrub brush in our kitchen named ripper cushions. My grands love it! It’s just their size and is used to both help Papa Bear clean stuff and to also serve out ripper cushions if necessary. (Grin)
I’d potentially buy womens fitted t-shirts, shot glasses, magnets, coasters or funko pops and cuddly toys.
I like quotes or references you have to know the books to get eg.
‘Not my circus, not my undead monkeys’ or ‘Necro in the hole’
Eahrratim, the Rose of Tigris – picture of a rose.
Sharrim – maybe underlined with a sword or with a picture of a broken tower, but to be honest, just the word would be best.
Iron Dogs: Building Moats Since The Shift – maybe a picture of a castle
‘Amehe’ – maybe with a picture of a wolf (I like the idea of a word of power on a t-shirt or set of shot glasses with Amehe, Hessad and Osanda and another one Kate likes for example).
Yellow lettering on a black background saying ‘EVIL AND CONFLICTED ABOUT IT’ with an arrow pointing upwards.
+1 to Amehe! Plus like, a thousand.
+ 1
+1 to that evil & conflicted about it lol
+1 to all of this!
+1 for t-shirts with power words or phrases from the books…
1+++ Yep, ditto—all that and then some, and thanks for the words!!
+1 !!
Yes yes, please, +1 to all the above
+1 to amehe, not my circus, and evil and conflicted!!
+1 iron dogs: building moats since the shift
Love the iron dogs one!
+++1 Awesome suggestions with the power words and quotes from the book only we would know. Love those ideas. Shirts or large mugs
+++1 I agree. Quotes from the books that only we would know.
+1 Power Words and a matching photo for nicer shirts, mugs, travel mugs (e.g. Contigo brand style), tote bags, etc.
These are great suggestions! I like the not my circus shirt idea..though I would prefer unisex multi-blend (otherwise they tend to be too tight around the neck) I also like the idea of doing a Cutting Edge shirt.
+1 for T-shirts with Words of Power (especially “Osanda”) and “Evil and conflicted about it”
+1….”Need some help, Asskicker?” Lol. Definitely “Amehe”.
+1 – love that one! 🙂
