I keep meaning to write a post with some content, but I keep getting sidetracked by the backlog of everything that had to be put on a backburner. This will be a super quick update.
We did not realize the extent of the sticker FOMO. The stickers have created some anxiety as people to do not want to miss out. We spoke to our printer, and tada!
Please ignore the blue outlines, they are just for us and will not be there in the final product.
These are numbered. ::eyebrow wag:: Everyone gets all the stickers.
Our printer is the best. I did a plug for them there, but BDH cannot be trusted with that kind of info and immediately attempted to order stickers from them. We will make sure to make the sticker sheets available to you once we get through vellum.
We will now repack some of the packs and take the loose stickers to Columbus. If you find us there, we will give you a piece vellum while supplies last. We will be giving away our trial test orders.
Okay, Must do all the other things now. A promise a somewhat proper update tomorrow.
PS. Tajanka, I am going to get your book signed by Jeaniene Frost at Columbus, so you can get the signed copy.
Thank you!
Yay!!!
You are the best!
Woo hoo!! House Andrews for the win!!
Y’all are amazing and a great big THANK YOU!
Yay! Stickers!!
Any news for Europe about the vellum??
Not yet. We are aware of the new per item tariff, though.
thank you, thank you!
Please please make the stickers a pack we could order alone! BC some of us have sticker collections we wish to fill, but don’t need/want the Vellum sheets too.
I have added that request to the list, may people mentioned it 🙂
Also hoping for this!
Let us get through the vellum and then we will do the stickers and maps. This is a little bit more involved because I will need to figure out the cheapest possible packaging that will get things to you safely. But right now we have a ton of orders to get through.
You do so much above and beyond what any other authors would do for their fans!
I wish I lived near you so I could help with packing orders (retiree here).
Thank you!!!

I hope you would put out a call for help if there’s anything we can do remotely!

Thank you, Ilona, for all you and your loved ones do for us! It is truly amazing! You, Gordon and family stand alone in the category of what authors do for their fans (Horde). Know that you and yours are truly appreciated for being so amazing!
May your travels to Columbus be safe and uneventful. May the event bring you and Gordon positive energy as you get to see friends and the Horde.
Sending peace, health and safety to all!
Just a Ton? 😁
Happy dance for all the stickers!!!
Yay! Thank you!
Thank you very much! You’re the best. 🌟
That is awesome! Thank you!
Ilona, you guys are the best. The extent to which you allow us our obsessiveness is heroic. Thank you for all you and House Andrews does for us.
Thank you! You’re all amazing!
Thank you!! This is awesome and so sweet of you.
House Andrews is the best author team with the best printers. Thank you again!
Yay! Thank you!
Thank you so, so much for all you do. You’re lifting hearts everyday out here and we are all so grateful.
Looking forward to seeing you all in Columbus, even more than before. 😃
Safe travels!
Stickers yay!
Yay for stickers!! Thank you 😊
*indecipherable noises of joy*
I’ve been trying to figure out which books to bring to get signed, and currently the only one I’ve settled on for sure is TKWNKM.
I am trying very hard not to bring my mass market KD collection (maybe Triumphs, maybe). But I bought library “discards” (*gasp o=*) of hard covers that apparently no one was reading. (How they were not constantly checked out I have nooooo idea.) I do have Hidden Legacy, but Kate and Curran are my comfort reads.
How does one decide what books they bring to a signing? xD
Please make sure you check the festival FAQ, especially regarding signing limits of 2 books per author https://www.columbusbookfestival.org/frequently-asked-questions/
Mod R to the rescue!! Thank you, I must have missed that page. It will be just TKWNKM then.
Hi Ash, we will have a small quantity of presigned bookplates available for your in home stash. First come, first serve. 🙂
Thank you! ❤️
(I didn’t need the encouragement to be early. I’m already leaving at a ridiculous hour for it being a day off. 😅)
I may be confused, but didn’t Everard say green suited Maggie, not Silveran??
That is Reynald. In the scene on the warf, he is wearing a face covering.
My bad, I always think of Silvaren as a sneak.
Those would be fabulous!!! I’m not really interested in signed books unless I meet the author, and I’ve seen you. You are both very nice. So bookplates for the rest of your books would be the BOMB!!!! And save your hands.
This is unexpected and amazing news! Thank you!
Wow. Thank you because this seems like a lot of extra work. It is greatly appreciated.
It is a lot of extra work. Ilona and Gordon and Mod R are OVERACHIEVERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much. Truly you spoil us!
Oh, wow! This is unexpected news, but it is so amazing! Once again, y’all do the most for us, and we are ever appreciative of your efforts. THANK Y’ALL SO MUCH!!!! 🫶🏼🥹
cries (come to Canada, specifically Victoria, we have pretty gardens and some amazing yarn stores (beehive))
Yes, please come to Canada. Toronto is also worth visiting. 😉
Love all of your books.
When will we hear the official title for Maggie 2?
when the publishers announce it – it’s in Tor’s hands 🙂
I do like the happy orange kitty saying ‘Good morning’ etc.:) I have a vague memory of this possibly being on a mug, but would be awesome if at some point it was on a t-shirt. My partner is very fond of orange kitties!
There was indeed a mug concept at one time 🙂 – first the vellums have to be dealt with and then more merch can follow.
Thank you all for your p*tience.
“but BDH cannot be trusted with that kind of info and immediately attempted to order stickers from them.” Snicker. I’m sure the company is used to dealing with fans but imagine the customer service dealing with the horde. Hmmm, is TOR going to have to these stickers? As in will they be a snag able item at NYC Comic Con? Will you be a snag able item at NYC Comic Con?
Not entirely sure what that first question means, but no, this is not Tor merch – the stickers, vellums, etc merch are House Andrews comissioned/created images, separately from Tor 🙂
my bet:
it was Steve who tried to contact the printers directly to get the stickers, as w@!ting isn’t his strong suit. bless his heart. he’s been pretty well behaved lately; the streak couldn’t have lasted forever.
he is a member of the BDH after all, just taking the initiative to found the Sticker Devouring Sub-horde. you know what they say about initiative and ferrets.
but what’s the sticker FOMO compared to the FOMO over all the bonus scenes in the special editions? that’s where we need Steve to focus his talents and ambitions.
Thank you! House Andrews spoils us!
*happy dance*
I DIDNT KNOW THERE WERE STICKERS BUT NOW I NEED THEM!!!! 😂😂😂 It’s me. I am the problem!!!
Oooo what fun! Thanks for everything, HA is the best!
Must have the stickers!!! stickers stickers all the stickers!!
We, the BDH, are a terrible PITA! And we thank you profoundly for indulging us!
I AM CHALANT.
I LOVE THESE STICKERS.
BARSA BARSA BARSA.
Also, thank you so much Author Lords and Honorable Mod R!
Additionally I support the comment above about Superfan Steve leading the Sticker Devouring Sub-Horde!
Yay!!! This is so exciting!! Thank you!!
So happy!! And would’ve been grateful for any sticker but now I don’t have to cross my fingers hope to die stick a finger in my eye, to get the one I really want🥳 which I still can’t make up my mind about🤨
Thank you!!
So… what do you actually need to fulfil EU/Australian orders? Can we set up a pop up/business to do that for you?
Still no news on all these things being available outside of the US?? (Europe or UK)
From the July 7 post: “Shipping outside the US: still stuck on trying to find the fulfillment center. Please do not order this stuff if you are outside of US. We will have to cancel your order.”
So I should have read this post first apparently. All the yays!
House Andrews you are the bestest!! Mod R you are super amazing too! Thank you for all you are doing to get all the stickers/vellum/map/everything to grateful BDH! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
YES!!!! So excited 😆
Thank You!!!
Nice! Some of those need to be on coffee, mugs, and T-shirts, and I really need a new mouse pad…. ❤️
After the vellum adventure, more items will be added 🙂 Thank you for your p*tience!
The Looking Good, Maggie sticker is AWESOME!
Stickers!!! Yayyyyyyy!! Our Authorlords are so very good to us!
I would so very much like to win the lottery to find an US-Adress to buy all the goodies that are dancing around in front of me.
(Ok, and to tell my employer to never contact me again and live a life of luxury and freedom and build my dream home and travel everywhere I want to go and donate huge amounts of money to people who should have a better life, but first of all – stickers.) I neeeeeed all the stickers. I neeeeeed – ok. Breath. Breath in, breath out. Calm thoughts.
I will not use the words that will have to be beeped out, but I will stay calm and I will breath and think happy thoughts.
Random question I keep meaning to ask. Is there some sort of Horde greeting? I keep imagining I will meet a fellow member (how will we know each other idk) and it feels like there’s something we should say to each other.
Hello Kitty, kitty, kitty.
Barsa barsa.
Hello, I see the assassins have failed.
I’d drink a tea and share some stories with everyone greeting me like that 🙂

BARSA BARSA BARSA???
AuthorLords are the BEST!! The stickers!!!! I especially love the Assassins have failed & Looking Good, Maggie;-)
Horde PSA: , re: the stickers. I have a friend who loves bumper stickers but doesn’t like too many at once. So she sticks them to a sheet of magnet ‘paper’ from an office supply store, trims it and then switches bumper stickers as the whim takes her. I have plans for my House Andrews Stickers 😉 If you see them on my car, please find me so we can have caffeine & Barsa Baarsa a bit, would love to meet other members of my favorite Horde!
This is such a GOOD idea!! Thank you! I buy little round magnets to make cute things into fridge magnets (Trader Joe’s mini-bags as an example). But this is by far a better idea for stickers.
Thanks again!
“… I did a plug for them there, but BDH cannot be trusted with that kind of info and immediately attempted to order stickers from them.”
Dang it BDH! This is why we can’t have nice things (other than all the presents House Andrews gives us)! The original post clearly said not to do that.
Please send the sincerest thanks and apologies to your wonderful printer. I hope the BDH members who are also authors got their info.
Omg I’m late to the party 😬 Where can I grab some of these stickers?
They are available in the US from the Ilona Andrews Store https://ilonaandrewsstore.com/, which is also linked in a banner at the top of every website page 🙂
Wow! Thank you. I need those stickers.
The stickers are wonderful. I hope they are not available until after House Andrews have had a wonderful relaxing vacation.
Ilona and Gordon, you two are THE BEST! I am so looking forward to getting my vellum package. Meanwhile, I just got my Subterranean Press Innkeepers Books 1, 2 and 3 – and am rereading the entire series. I love all your books SO much!
I feel so deprived all the way over here in the UK :'(
Woo hoo
I didn’t particularly need the velum, lovely as they are; but I might have to have the stickers if they’re offered as a separate item!
The Good Morning should be on a mug! Love it! Would but in a heartbeat
Congratulations to our fabulous authors for finishing Maggie 2! It looks like a huge victory!
I wanted to share that Smart Bitches did a “favorite book of the year so far” post and out of the current 50 responses, 9 were This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me. Made me smile so hard.
I looked in the store and didn’t see stickers for sale??
Please read the previous post for all the details https://ilona-andrews.com/blog/vellum-fulfillment-finalize-your-order/
The stickers a
come with the vellum packs 🙂
Please may the rest of the world lay our mitts on the stickers since the vellum is not within reach? Pretty please with cherry on top?
Truly the best! I cannot believe how over the top ya’ll go to satisfy your kingdom fans. Thank you so very much!
Still a fan, after all these years, but that cliffhanger was enough to make me wonder why I choose to be tortured.
Now _those_, I would like to have. To have and to share! Would love to give some of the book one to my little village library.
I feel like we can completely be trusted to behave in a way that is entirely predictable. the way you hoped we’d behave? probably no. the way you could predict? absolutely. damn the ripper cushions!
Thank you! I’m so excited for stickers!
Wait, I missed Sticker Gate? It’s big over a week, yes OVER a WEEK since I’ve read emails. New job, learning curve (ha! that’s what I get for leaving a job I had for 3o years and could do asleep, blindfolded, and with both hands tied behind my back).
Anyhoo, STICKERS!!! Sticker, sticker, stickers, STICKERS! (I think I need to go to bed now, I’m delirious)
amazing stickers. ‘BDH cannot be trusted with that kind of info’ 😂😂😂😂💀
Can’t wait to see ya me made it to Columbus super early for parking.
Thank you for adding sticker packs to the request list – also buying stand alone packs of book marks would allow me to have one for each book in my House Andrews library. Thank you for all you do
The Survive and Get Paid sticker is perfect for every public librarian out there.
