This *REDACTED* Will Not *REDACT* Me

Blog, Fun, Maggie 88 Comments | POST A COMMENT by

The Facebook fan group recently had a lot of fun speculating over the possible title of the second Maggie the Undying book.

Ilona confirmed in the comments that the title will follow this format:

This REDACTED Will Not REDACTED Me

Two blanks to fill and one challenge for the blog comment section!

Fill in the blanks and leave your title in the comments. Serious guesses, ridiculous guesses, ominous guesses, and titles that would make Steve proud and the editors concerned – all are welcome in the comments.

This is Only a Horde Game

House Andrews and Tor, the publishers, have decided the actual title through official publishing processes. It will be announced publicly at the right time. Nothing suggested here will become the title because it attracts the most chalant support or is repeatedly submitted in ALL CAPS. Ahem.

But even if we don’t get to name the book, we are still padding our Horde marketing CV! Before the final Hidden Legacy title was announced as Ruby Fever, we knew it would follow the gemstone + fire word formula. The BDH rose magnificently to the guess challenge and produced such enduring classical suggestions as:

  • Pearlescent Phlogiston
  • Turquoise Twinkles
  • Chrysoberyl Conflagration
  • Lapis Lazispalooza

Shockingly, none of these has been claimed by another author yet, but we’ll keep trying. Interested publishing professionals may contact the Horde through its official accounts. Serious offers and mango cupcakes-based royalties only.

In the meantime, give us your best suggestions for Maggie 2!

PS: There are only two hours left to read the free romantasy-exploring snippet Ilona shared on Monday before it is returned to the trunk for further cooking. Read it here before it disappears.

  9. “ This W#$t will not murder me” 🤣 oh wait that’s my mantra until the next books come out

    “This tower will not intimidate me” I feel like the mage tower will have a fairly large role in one of the books as much as it’s talked about.

  11. Based on snippets…..
    This Armor Will Not Flatten Me
    This Warrior Will Not Win Me
    This Assassin Will Not Out Sneak Me
    This Noble Will Not OutManeuver Me (Clover’s Story)

  14. This Empire Will Not Crush Me (or conquer me)

    This World Will Not Defeat Me

    ***

    I like Empire because we know the Crimson Empire is a threat. And maybe book 3 will use “world” as a broader geographic term.

    if someone in the comments guesses the correct title, do they get a prize? 👀

    • No, this is a rogue post I did to distract me from the heat 😅. I have no prize approvals.

      House Andrews will do more giveaways and contests closer to the official announcements for title and publication date 🙂

  22. I still like This realm will not stop me but also could be taken as This realm will not kill me or This kingdom will not stop me.

    just for fun:
    This soap will not clean me
    This Stelka will not leave me
    This dress will not fit me
    This book will not beat me
    This magic will not destroy me
    This blanket will not cover me

      • It happens. By late afternoon my brain has melted. Went in for a haircut Monday and instead of our usual 20 minute discussion of our current family life, the stylist and I just greeted each other, spent the bulk of the time in restful silence, and said our goodbyes and good wishes.

        Sending best wishes for moderate, seasonable weather across the puddle.

      • Try to stay cool. My niece swears by her neck fan. In the 1930’s in Peoria people would go up to a park overlooking the river and sleep outside there for the breeze. Our PBS station did a documentary on Grand View Drive which mentioned it. Not a possibility in modern times! Thank-you for all your work and attentions!

  31. This Stelka Will not Fish Slap Me. I’ve been fish slapped by a live Koi, I feel your pain Maggie!

  41. I’m scared that at some point Maggie will get sent back to Earth and the fight will be to try to get back to Kair Toren. In that case the title would be something like

    This magic will not fail me

    Reply

  45. This kidnapping will not kill me
    This duke will not betray me
    This author will not ghost me

    Seriously though, all thanks to the authors for NOT doing a disappearing act and never finishing. I feel Maggie’s pain with that.

  47. I was going to leave a guess…but I am in a VERY spicy mood. The Motherhumper won’t F*** Me is not even on the boards. Sorry for my mind this morning.
