I am very excited to announce the upcoming appearances House Andrews will be doing to celebrate the release of THIS KINGDOM WILL NOT KILL ME, the first book in the Maggie the Undying epic fantasy series.
Ilona and Gordon will be hitting the road to talk about the book, answer your questions, and sign copies, but most of all to meet all of you. BDH, assemble!
You can always find the up-to-date list on the Appearances page on the website and on the US publisher’s website.
A quick but important note before we get to the schedule: where these events require registering, please check the links and reserve your spot. House Andrews have only had a handful of in-person appearances since before the pandemic and the enthusiasm of the Horde is well documented. I don’t want you to be disappointed if you just show up on the night.
Each venue’s signing policy regarding how many books you may bring from home to get signed and books that must be purchased at the event will also be specified on the event links. These policies vary by location and are set by the venues themselves.

Click here for event information and here for registration. Number of seats extended by 50 at BDH request!
This is the current scheduled, but the Tor publicity team is a very hardworking hive of bees. We will let you know as soon as we’re allowed to share details of any other appearances or surprises.
And yes, international BDH, I hear you and I asked the same thing. Will there be any outside-US events, when are Ilona and Gordon coming to see any of us? While I can’t confirm anything officially at this time, I’ve heard rumours, there is hope!
In the meantime, we will also squeeze in a Zoom event or two that everyone can watch!
PS: Don’t forget about the release of BEAST BUSINESS tomorrow! There is no preorder period, the link will just go live during the day.
Augustine Montgomery’s novella, the new entry in the Hidden Legacy series, will also contain a brand-new Arabella Baylor POV and several beloved blog extras, for the first time in print!
The B&N link for Maryland seems to be broken 🙁
Nope, please try again, works fine for me 🙂
Not working for me either (Baltimore). I can get to the B&N info page for the event, but they say to register via the link in their IG, and that doesn’t seem to exist. Can’t sleep on House Andrews visiting the DC area!
Right, so the link works, the venue just hasn’t made the registration live yet 🙂 I do not control that, B&N do.
For those looking to register for the MD signing and not seeing the TicketLeap link:
A store employee said that the person responsible for this event is not in today and that they should be able to fix it once they are in.
May require some p*tience. I tried to warn her that we are an enthusiastic horde 🙂
It’s not working for me either 😭
I found it here if you google ticketleap and bn white marsh:
https://www.ticketleap.events/events/bnwhitemarsh
Thank you Erin, have updated above 🙂
It’s my local b&n and I called. They said the chain put the link up and they have no control over that. The person in charge of events at the store level who will put the ticketing info up isn’t in till the weekend. 🙂
Also thank you house Andrews for coming to my area! I thought for sure the tour would all be out of reach for me. 🙏🏻
Hi Rachael, Erin provided the direct link in an earlier comment https://www.ticketleap.events/events/bnwhitemarsh 🙂
It has been updated above in the schedule too!
the Barnes and Noble White Marsh link is working now. i was able to get a ticket!!!
Sold out! I am crushed 🙁
I am so sad they are sold out. It is my birthday on April 4th and that is my local white marsh Barnes and Noble. 😥
I am also so sad that the White Marsh event is sold out. 😭
I kept checking even though it had said sold out, and it let me get a ticket so maybe they changed something. So happy 😊.
I called the store, the lady said it sold out almost instantly, and they added 50 more spots and those sold out the same day too
I appreciate house Andrews making this effort. I look forward to seeing the zooms!
Are there any Canadian schedules?
These are all the events atm 🙂
OH MY GOSH, I might be able to make the Maryland stop. I’m giddy thinking about it.
Good on you all for going to MN. Meanwhile I might have to run back up to MD in April…Lord knows I can always find some more reasons to go.
Lonely European waiting for the zoom. 🙏🏽Am so excited. I am away for Easter week and may miss the zoom. I will
Have my laptop, but we will see.
So excited about this book. It feels like we’ve been waiting 450 January’s for it😂
January is usually long, but this one has taken the cake, the roast and the amuse bouche. It will never end 😀
I need you to turn left after Maryland and come to Maine!
I am 2 hrs from MD. I am thinking wanting so badly to drive down from NJ. But life is lifeing right now, not sure what things will look like come April 😢
*looks up how far Lexington KY is*
Its only 6 hours away! Wonderful!
*cries*
OMG!
Got my ticket!
But, why is the book included with the price of the visit? As if I haven’t already pre-ordered. Oh well, books make good gifts.🤪
it supports the venue so publishers know the tours, in general, are worth it & so do the bookstores!
What Shiloh said 🙂
Each venue handles this a little differently, but supporting the bookstore is a big part of making in-person events possible in the first place, and covers costs for staffing, space and event costs 🙂
Visit Scotland, it’s the destination for Maggie in streets of Edinburgh, Stirling and Inverness!
Such a perfect match!
Thanks for coming to MN— Looking forward to it! Got my ticket ❤️
I was SOOOOO excited to see you are coming to Baltimore!! I jumped to reserve a spot, but alas, I will be in Boston. Many expletives were issued! To able to see you would have been the highlight of the year for sure!
However, I know the horde will be there in droves.
Lexington! OMG! I just tried to register and they aren’t doing that yet. I hope they don’t underestimate the rabidness of the Horde. I’ll keep checking back.
I’m so excited!
Thank you for coming to Minnesota! We need this.
Hang in there. We see and appreciate all of you
Big hugs from across the pond!
We support you all, internationally. (Canadian here).
Connecticut stands with u. ((Hugs))
I feel the same. I was surprised.
gah! Kentucky! i hope i remember to register when it’s live!
dancing…I’m RSVP’D!
Here’s hoping for a Southern California signing!
I second this!
Ditto
Third! Or West coast in general!?
Pretty Please!
I am firmly in the “writing is more important than appearances” camp, but will also put in a polite request for West Coast events, pls
I hope I can get to see them in person, but if not, I hope they have a fantastic tour!
+1! I doubt they come anywhere near me (within 3-4 hrs drive, Midwesterner here), but I’m happy for anyone who gets to see them!
Hope the tour is peaceful and refreshing for Ilona and Gordon! 🤞🏻
Very happy for the BDH that can make it to these events!
I’ll happily look forward to any Zoom events!
Do I need to buy tickets for the Lexington one? I clicked the registration link but there wasn’t a place to register or buy tickets. Thanks!
The event page and info is all that is up atm – I would call them and ask if possible 🙂
I called and asked haha! They did not know the answer 🙁 but ill just check back every day or something
Thank you for letting us know 🙂
ok so it looks like there is an optional RSVP up on the site now. Not sure what that means, but I RSVPd haha!
Toronto is a big city. Toronto is a nice city. We have lots of different food for your downtime.
I won’t cross our border for a few years but you are very welcome to cross yours to us.
XOXO
P.S. loved the Kingdom “novella”. Waiting with typical BDH p*tience* for the whole book
* that is, none!
Ticket obtained for the St. Paul location! Something to look forward too!
There is an AMAZING half price books mega store in Dallas just up the road from Austin! nudge nudge wink wink! Otherwise, ZOOM ZOOM. I enjoyed the recent zoom with Jesse Milhak and I am now reading Polaris rising.
Woohoo, Arboretum! Very close to me.
Yay for the tour!! Many books will be purchased and bookstores supported!!
Merriment will ensue!! 📚📚📚
Also please come Northeast sometime! I’m sure we of the New England chapter if BDH would give a warm welcome. 😎 we will tell the weather to behave itself such is our power.
+1
Here’s hoping for an Oregon appearance. I’d drive in from the sticks for that.
Come to Massachusetts!
Desperately hoping for West Coast! Otherwise South Carolina or North Carolina would work because I have family. I can go see!
Oh, man! I picked the wrong year to move away from Maryland. I’m so bummed.
I just read the preview release. So good! Not usually a portal person, but this I liked.
Is beast business releasing tomorrow? Is there a pre-order link for Kindle?
There is no preorder, it will just drop tomorrow on retailer websites 🙂
Thank you! Due to the time differece usually get the Kindle books here in India one day (i.e abou 12 hours) before US. Seems no such luck this time!!
I am so glad ya’ll are coming to Maryland! I’ve been trying to save enough to make it to the few events House Andrew appears at near Texas but alas my arch nemesis Bills always takes my money! It maybe 1.5 hour trip one way but absolutely worth it!!!
Come to Chicago! Or, at least, Naperville. We have Anderson’s Bookstore, which is amazing.
And Chicago in the spring is lovely. (To be clear, I would not come now. Now is a cold, grey blob of suck.)
Seconding Chicago! and seconding that it gets lovely in spring. Might be chilly but likely to be lovely.
Lots of great bookstore event options!
What?!? Minnesota!?! St. Mary’s is a lovely place too. <3
Please come to Southern California?
Victoria bc Canada is beautiful in spring we have 2 amazing independent bookstores munros and bolen books. Just saying
Thank you so much for coming to MN!!!!!!!
I’m so excited. I’m going to be in Minneapolis on April 1st for a library conference. My day has been made so much better.
Mod R, this is kinda silly, but other than the link you put in the blog post, I can’t find the appearance page. Yes, the link worked, but wasn’t there a way to get there from the home page or one of the menus? I’m probably just being brain dead, but I looked and couldn’t find it. So I came back here to click the link.
Just wanted to know so I could keep an eye on that page. Thanks! 🤗
Hey Breann!
There used to be, yes. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to amend menus in WordPress, tbh even formatting the appearances page nearly broke me.
So we’ll have to wait for Ilona to do her magic touch and add it – she’s got such a head for knowin’ these things and I don’t want to mess up the pretty website!
Thank you! Just thought I was losing it. I could’ve sworn there was one. At least I know it’s not just me! 😄
Dear Ilona and Gordon, wouldn’t you like to come to Honolulu? You have many fans in Hawaii!
Yes! I would fly over for that. Maui is too small potatoes for them to come here. And if they did, it would be to relax and be left alone!
Petition to add a stop somewhere in the vicinity of NC. I missed an appearance near me in 2017 when Wildfire came out, and I have never had so much regret 😆
Either way, I’m very excited for this book!
Austin…so close, but so far. Sigh. 😁
I am so EXCITED! I’ll drive to Austin for my favorite authors!!
Hi, I was wondering if the list for Beast Business on Kindle is real. It shows for $5.99 & says 205 pages
I downloaded the sample & it appears genuine.
This just came up.
It’s real 🙂
And available (live!) now!
Found it on Amazon Canada, but oddly no cover and it’s not shown as part of the hidden legacy series. I may be too early in my BDH ways.
The cover hasn’t appeared yet anywhere, I think the Amazon system rushed to get it live and hasn’t yet had time to digest all the files 🙂
They were uploaded only a few hours ago, it usually takes 24-72 hours to pass through the checks. This time it took 2 :O
omg. this is amazing it’s out now! About to get on a plane to fly back to SF from Europe and soooo excited to read this on the flight!
wowser. gonna order it now.
thank you. so excited!!
Let the stampede begin.
My friend and I can’t wait to come see you in Baltimore!!!
Will Beast Business come out in print as well? Asking for a friend!🤭
Yes, POD paperbacks. The retailer systems are checking the files as we speak, should show up in a couple of days 🙂
Squee! I’m reading Best Business, it’s live!
“…the link will just go live during the day”.
LOL, y’all like to live dangerously. You know the BDH will be online at 12:01 am looking for a link…..
😆😆😆😆
yes, thankfully Beast Business is now live on Kindle, Many thanks for all your yummy new books.
ModR, Is Beast Business going to be sold directly through HA? I thought it was going to be and I’d rather buy it there, if I can. Am I just a day early?
It will be sold through the direct store and you are a bit early 🙂
Thanks ModR! That’s what I figured. I will be chalant and w*it!!!! Just have to Breathe through this!
Thanks so much Ilona and Gordon for Beast Business! I really need this right now. 🥰
Whoo Hoo! Downloaded!!!!
Thx muchly to the AuthorLords
So happy for HA traveling around! I hope you come to Portland or Seattle! But I will definitely go to the zoom.
So excited for all the books! I see that my local bookstore is going to be carrying This Kingdom!
I’m not sure you know, but the Amazon link for beast business is live.
Never mind, read further up, you know.
Thanks!
Alabama, USA. Just bought Beast Business on Amazon. Excuse me, I’m going in…
amazon link is live!!
I know you don’t get a choice, but I really, really, REALLY hope you come to the Seattle area.
Finished Beast Business thank you House Andrews for the story and for Amazon releasing it early.
Darn, I didn’t read the blog today until almost midnight & the Baltimore Barnes & Noble appearance is sold out. So close…
Will Beast Business be available in epub format? Kobo doesn’t seem to have it yet, and I’d rather not buy the Kindle version
Yes, ebook, print and audio down the line 🙂
I’m so sad! Lexington,KY is the closest location to me & your appearance is on the one night I have tickets to a show. 😭
I would absolutely be there with bells on otherwise.
Bought it 11/29 at 11:29 pm
Life is Good
Good morning HA and BDH from South Africa! 7:32 in the morning here, and sadly, neither BB or the This Kingdom excerpt are yet available for me on the Amazon site. I will, of course, keep checking over the course of the morning, while trying to keep my salivating to myself!
I wish all of you a wonderful, book-filled, weekend! HA (including the indomitable ModR!) – thank you, and please look after yourselves – we need you!
Lynda
Loved Beast Business and can’t wait to see how Augustine and Diana’s relationship develops ❤️
Major WOOT!! Got BEAST BUSINESS! Now I just have to finish my library loan and I can dive in!
No link for Beast Business at Kobo, neither is there anything at the store if searched directly. 🙁
If you’re referring to the Ilona Andrews store, the link is on the first page, has been for at least 10 hours. A link was provided on the featured release page ever since 🙂 https://ilonaandrewsstore.com/products/beast-business
The files have been uploaded, some of the retailer systems are still checking through them 🙂. Thank you for your p*tience, Horde!
I didn’t write clearly, I meant the Kobo store.
Seems like they take their sweet time.
Trying this strange and unnatural thing called “P*tience”, feels weird. 🙂
Beast business is still not available in Amazon India. 😮💨
@Mod R, can you please look into this?? 😳
I don’t need to, the book is available on Amazon India and has been for hours, I was linking it at 5 am this morning 🙂
https://www.amazon.in/dp/B0GKJ2ZQFD/ref=sr_1_1
Thank you! it is not showing up when I search in Amazon/Kindle store though
I Just went to buy Beast Business on Amazon UK and whilst the book is there it has no cover . It just states No Image. Im not sure because of this if it’s downloaded to Amazon UK correctly. Help.please
I am chasing up with the agency 🙂. The cover uploaded correctly, the Amazon system seems to have just eaten it for some reason.
Thank you for your patience!
I am so glad we can purchase from you directly for ebooks! I hate buying anything through amazon!! If you ever do Patreon, you’ll have a huge following!
Is there any chance of an appearance in the UK or anywhere else in Europe?
These are all the appearances for now, but watch this space 🙂
Enjoy the tour, those of you who can. Meanwhile, thanks for the reminder on “Beast Business” since my alleged memory needs all the help it can get. (With this today, I won’t be quite so surprised by tomorrow’s reminder.)
I got Beast Business. First i could not find it, but i went to the U.S. Site of Amazon copy, pasted the ISBN, and there it is. 😊
Does someone know? The B.A. Bookish Team postet a Hidden Legacy Launch After a Zoom with HA today, but i could not find it in the Blog.
Or am I too early?
That was a bit premature from BA bookish 🙂. It wasn’t meant to go out until next week.
tried to buy from the Website. it shows me a list saying it sells only to US, UK etc. was Canada deliberately omitted or is it in error?
All the efforts went in trying to add Canada, but unfortunately the tax situation is simply too complicated to be feasible for such a small store 🙂
More details here https://ilona-andrews.com/blog/store-update-and-new-pub-date/ and thank you for your understanding.
Today is my birthday—thank you so much, the book is a great gift. I’m at Disneyland at the moment, celebrating, but it will be perfect for the train ride home tomorrow.
Happy birthday! 🎂
For the rest of the Horde who do not like to buy books on Amazon (I hear you), Beast Business is out on Barnes and Noble. You will have to go through a few web pages before seeing it. For some reason B&N wants the Horde to work for the novella/POVs. However, we will succeed in getting it!
I have it downloaded on my Nook. Can’t wait to start reading it and Arabella’s POV.😁
So wish you would come to Canada!!
The kobo link doesn’t seem to be working?
As clarified on the page right above “Kobo link will be uploaded as soon as it’s live” 🙂
Thank you for your patience.
Bummer, i was checking the link all day yesterday for the White Marsh event and i couldn’t find the link on insta anywhere but it is already sold out. So popular.
I was so excited to see you coming to MD and only 10 minutes away from my house no less!! Then I went to register and all the tickets are sold out! NOOOOOO!! Please consider doing a 2nd one here. Please? I beg you!
THANK YOU!!!!!! sooooo much for coming to Baltimore! okay, gotta rearrange kids spring break plans because i am not missing this!
Southeast Louisiana Horde member here; wish there was one close to me. SIGH – I can always dream.
I’d even take a NFalls NY after mid April . Got to have my navigator home from their holiday to cross the border. Been decades since I was there. Although the Canadian side… hint… 😁
Thank you for coming to Minnesota! It’s been a tough couple of months, and this made me so happy ❤️
The title of this book “This Kingdom will Not Kill Me” makes it seem poetic that the Ilona Andrews crew should perhaps…maybe…I don’t know…tour an actual Kingdom as part of their book tour.
Think of the research for the…uh…really old city streets and uh…castles! And um…pointy and pretty things in museums…
May I suggest the United KINGDOM as the first stop for this Kingdom based fact finding, poetically appropriate tour.
Whether I live there or not, and may or may not have a stack of books I would like signed, is of course irrelevant to my highly logical argument.
TLDR: Kingdom Book = Kingdom Tour
I just read the free preview. Excellent as always. I almost wish I hadn’t read it because now I want to read the rest.
Won’t be able to go to your events but wish you safe travels and good times.
Hey, y’all probably know this, but in case you don’t, I got the Beast novella from Amazon and there is no cover on the website. So you kinda click on nothing. I checked it again a few minutes ago.
I bought it anyway and am devouring it.
Yes, please see today’s post with all the updates 🙂
Baltimore is sold out.
Noooo! Why is the Lexington one so late at night 😭😭
The Austin Arboretum link still doesn’t seem to be up yet, or am I missing something?? Eagerly awaiting the moment I can secure my spot!!
already sold out 😭😭😭😭
I’m just so blown away that House Andrews dedicated this one to the Horde. Reading that dedication was an unexpected bright spot to my day. I don’t have the space for it because I move a lot but I’m buying a hard copy.
FYI…if House Andrews has a bit of time in St. Paul, and Ilona needs yarn, they should go to Steven Be’s yarn store for great yarn in a great local yarn store!!!!

You lucky, lucky Americans….
Cannot afford to fly in from the UK
Since I have pre-purchased I of course want to read the book preferably sooner rather than later. My comment/question is does making a “production” out of the book release actually generate increased sales ?
Hi Norman, are you referring to the marketing and publicity for the book?
Yay! You’re coming to Minnesota!
But now I’m a little worried because it is an April Fools Day appearance.
Although we DO have an iron and magic book, so there’s that.
I bought two tickets and will rely on those books (although, again, I pre-ordered the ebook so there’s a backup plan there too).
So although it is an entirely irrational fear on my part (that this appearance will be an April Fools mirage), please allay my anxiety, dear authors and/or Mod R.
This is not an April Fools mirage 🙂 . I have seen the official schedules.
The only prank would be of the treat kind – the treat that you get to meet and chat and ask questions of House Andrews!
Please come to DC as well, Baltimore is already sold out!
The preview got me totally hooked. Looking forward to the full release.
