Right there with you ????
I am shrieking with joy just at the thought of getting Catalina book 3/Hidden Legacy book 6!!!!! And the title!!!! Oh it’s going to be soooooo good.
Yeah!
Woo-hoo!! Can’t wait!!!
Ruby I was semi-expecting; Fever….now I’m just thinking of Nana Vistor/Major Kira singing ‘Fever!” on Star Trek DS9!
But that’s really clever…because of course you get really hot with a Fever… so it’s still playing with fire!
Love it! Great Choice!
+1
But you also get the chills!
Run a burn under cold water for 10+ minutes and you’ll get chills as well…
WOW LOVE IT!
Excellent – looking forward to reading this
Same!^^
After a week of Monday’s, this is a squeeeee moment!
Yay! Eagerly looking forward to the cover art reveal.
Me too!
I was wondering what gem it would be. I was guessing amethyst, but I love that you let us know what it’s going to be. That means that it’s closer to becoming “real” (even if it’s another year or so until it’s published). Thank you for sharing!
????
I love this series. So excited for the next book.
Yay!!!!!!
Is this the last book? Not sure if Catalina’s story was a trilogy or if it’s open ended story arc a bit like Kate
It’s the end of Catalina’s trilogy. At this point, it’s too early to discuss the possibility of Hidden Legacy #7.
Nope not to early. Though I will be curious to see what the next theme for names is going to be.
Thank you for the reply.
To be honest I was thinking how long it’s gonna be for this book to come out since we’ve only just had #2 so I don’t even want to think about anything post Catalina book #3 I want this book first! :o)
Darn.
Please oh please oh please share arabellas story!!! ????????????????????????????????????????
Yes. Stephan and Arabella… I am kow-towing 1000 times to the divine heavenly powers at House Andrews. ????♀️????♀️
Stephen and Arabella would be a great pair.
I have already mentally purchased Hidden Legacy #7, I will try to chill. Try.
+1
????
That was a good one! I don’t think my heart could take waiting for the physical buy…
Nope—I and all your fans are already rooting for the eventual Arabella trilogy. There are plenty of good potential husbands you have already made us aware of. And we need a short novella about Bren and Runa. I am curious where their relationship is headed. After all Runa and her house are already cherished family to me
Please do not leave them hanging out there like the poor neglected Edge rats. The fact that Sophie\Lark and George have never hooked up romantically is sad. Yes Sophie has issues but so does George. And I believe Jack would make an excellent uncle, he rescues defenseless kittens, he is my definition of awesome.
Oh yes, pretty please, write a Bern story or better yet, a Bern trilogy. +1 on Arabella trilogy. Tried to pre-order Ruby Fire right away 🙂
Love it! Love Catalina! Can’t wait!
Yay, I’m excited for this!
Also idk if this is a dumb question, but how exactly do the titles tie in to the book? I think I’m missing something but I don’t remember where emeralds came into the last book.
Or maybe its just a pretty title and I’m overthinking?
Either way, Ruby Fever sounds good, looking forward to reading!!
the title always appears on some form or another in the book. In Sapphire Flames, in chapter 15, Catalina’s circle as she battles the Carnifex lights up with sapphire flames.
In Emerald Blaze, emerald fire glows in the middle of the flower buds that grow from Abyss’ metal rings ☺️
ohh I definitely missed that, thanks 🙂
Oooh! I had no idea! Time to re-read, lol! Thanks for the insight!
I’d agree, only I just got done with the latest re-read/listening on Tuesday. May do The Edge again, or have another go at the Night Huntress from Jeaniene Frost. Hmmm.
Am I remembering right? I think also Allessandro’s eyes are sometimes described as emerald fire when he’s using his magic? But the glow in the circle things too! ????
The series/universe name, “Hidden Legacy” has also appeared. If you didn’t notice it, go reread Nevada’s hospital conversation with Linus Duncan in Wildfire.
I want/I need/I gotta have NOW!!!
Woo Hoo, another Catalina book! Thank you!
*rushes to hit pre-order* finds no bookie wook available for pre-order.
Blames 2020
Lol 2020 getting blaimed for lots and lots
All I have to say is….. SQUEEEE!!!!! I look forward to reading it!
Great name. Rubies are the second hardest gemstone after diamonds ♦️
Will preorder as soon as it is available. Love the HL family ????
I didn’t know that about rubies. Thanks! ????
You’re welcome ????. If you want to wear a gemstone ring for everyday wear it should have a hardness of 7 or more. Diamonds are 10, Sapphires and Rubies are 9 (they are from the same mineral). Below a 7 requires special care and storage – heat, water, oils and dirt can affect them.
https://quickjewelryrepairs.com/articles/gemstones-for-everyday-wear/
Thank you for sharing this information!! I wasn’t aware of the hidden issues with the type of gemstone one wears.
I guessed the title! Okay, only half the title.
I had the Ruby part right ????
I’m sure it will be brilliant as always.
Brilliant. Pun intended?
Yeah !!
Sqqqquuuuuueeeeeeaaaaaalllll!
Hooray! Projected publication date?
When is it due out?
Love the title!! Can’t wait to read their next adventure.
whoo hoo! love it and as always, can’t wait! and will have faith in Ryder and will love it however it turns out
It sounds almost sinfully intense. I trust in you completely ????
Ooooo……Yes! Soooo looking forward to this!
You guys are the best and I appreciate so much all the extra stuff you do for us!
Soooo excited!!!!! I love this series can’t wait for this one now!
Love the title!
So excited for this and Ryder in Jan 2021. Something positive to look forward to.
I will read anything you write, y’all are awesome.
I’ve been wondering… Are the titles keyed to your family’s gemstones? Ilona is January which is Garnet, so not for this one, but are Gordon’s or the girls’ birthdays in September (Sapphire), May (Emerald), or July (Ruby)? Or maybe they’re pet birthdays. 😉
Cool — I was guessing “Ruby”, with the gemstone theme, but could not begin to think of the “heat” related second part of the title could be.
I wonder what the title theme for a series of Arabella books might look like? I know that is getting way ahead here. She gets described as having a “rage monster” inside, but she is also very smart and a lot more inciteful than she lets the family see (what they don’t know won’t worry them).
Love all the series, and look forward to new work in any of the (3?) that are active: KD world, Innkeeper, or Hidden Legacy. (Though I really look forward to hearing more about young-Helen).
So thank you for the heads up on what is next (“Ruby Fever”). Something for which to look forward.
I totally agree. I was also wondering what theme the Arabella books are going to have. Because they have to get out.
I was no big fan of Catalina in the Nevada-trilogy, but loved her books anyway. I love Arabella, I’ve been waiting for years and will wait more, if I have to. But please don’t skip her!!!
I admit that I am also waiting for more Inkeeper…and Ryder…and in all the books are so many potential side characters who’d deserve their own story.
So I see your problem with time etc. And I will try to wait very patiently. Just please don’t skip Arabella
Awesome!
So glad that you can announce the official title.Knew it would be ruby something.
More Baylor family , more Allesandro, and maybe one of his sisters or mom??
Then we have , Rogan, Nevada and ????. Need to know name of baby.
Ryder in January, so Ruby Fever probably end of August or September. I kept hearing Peggy lee singing “You give me Fever in the morning.”
Congratulations on the news
Thank you for sharing.
Ps I am looking forward to Blood Heir. I know it will be another excellent book. You have such high standards and you exceed them every time.
Fie on those who complain.
These are your books and you alone have the right to create, change or delete them as you see fit.
Absolutely. Also, we always love the books.
agree
Agree. Each of your books are very well thought out. Both Nevada and Catalina’s stories stand out separately so well, thus please don’t stress about Julie’s book. It’s going to be great. There is so much that is different that it will stand out on its own. wow I can see it going from coast to coast and not just be located in Atlanta. What fun! I can’t wait to meet some of her grandmothers crew too!! Y’all take care.
????????♀️????????♂️????????♀️????????♂️
Ruby Fever is my disco name.
I was off in the second part, but the gem wasn’t hard to predict. I had guessed “Ruby Inferno” based on the gem/fire theme that you have for this series. =) You always manage to surprise and it goes without saying the book will be awesome.
I hope life is treating you well and not stressing you out!
I guessed “Ruby Inferno” too! Degrees of heat building from Fire to Flames to Blaze to …
But Ruby Fever is excellent. Best wishes for as few complications as possible in the writing!
Haha! Ruby Inferno for me too. Then I thought probably not because it’s too evident ;-P
Tease!
Love it! Can’t wait! Love your writing! Greetings from Poland!
Let the rampant speculation begin!
I’m thinking…….Nevada and Amorosa take over and plan an extravagant wedding despite vociferous protests from the bride, Linus buys the wedding dress and Alessandro’s grandfather crashes the wedding in anger and makes a butt of himself.
The wedding maybe as a transition book like Diamond Fire? A novella to tide us over until House Andrews is ready for the next trilogy? Although other novellas and books would be welcome – will enjoy where the inspiration strikes (miss InnKeeper a bit).
I think a wedding might be rushing it a bit, but I look forward to it whenever they decide to do it! ????????
Can we hope for a double wedding novella? I envision: Linus officiates; Alessandro with best man Ragnor; bride Catalina with Matron of Honor Nevada; Bern with best man Leon; bride Runa with Maid of Honor Arabella. Bridesmaids Alessandro’s sisters and Halle; Groomsmen Connor, Cornelius, and (who Augustine?); flower girl and ring bearer Matilda and Zeus.
All at Arrosa’s house again. Alessandro’s fans are devastated. The Herald staff are frenzied. Two mothers of the bride/groom and Grandmother Frida attend. Grandfather of Alessandro not invited. Grandmother Victoria cautioned.
Alessandro and Bern get advice from Arabella on rings and other wedding details. The brides are busy doing other things, so Arabella, Runa, and Grandmother Frida plan the wedding. It is The Social Event of the Year.
For wedding presents some of the guests pool resources and buy the family a house (estate complex) between Arrosa’s and Linus’. Maybe Brenham? Other guests (Augustine? and House Harrison) give gift certificates to home furnishing warehouses and contractors.
A good time was had by all, except for some of Connor’s Spanish relatives (one in particular), who are not only disinvited but are prevented from attending due to unfortunate prison sentences (or death).
I’m so excited! I’m looking forward to book three.
Wow, wonderful title, I love it !!!
That seems quite apt for a story about Catalina and Alessandro :). Also I bet it’ll get great search hits 😉 it sounds like it could be about a jewel thief ^_^ and I love it!
Yay! Can’t wait to see the cover that goes with that title.
We have a title!!! And I like it so much!
I’m so excited ????
Love from Italy
Thank you! This made my day! Now starting an innkeeper re-read to shorten the wait…..
Lovely! Please give us a sniper;)
While nearly all comments are praising the name apologies for saying otherwise, but the name is inconsistent. I see that there’s a comment saying fever also results in rising of temperature, but that’s not same as the theme of fire/flames or being ‘White Hot’.
I understand that there are only so many good synonyms of fire and I have no doubt that the book will be awesome in any case. But I do think a name like Ruby Glow or Ruby Inferno (as another comment suggests) would have been more in sync with the other book names in the series.
Just my two cents!????
Not gonna even
Two cents covered with muck.
Thank you for the reaction! Please note, I did not say the name is bad (it’s pretty catchy actually), just that it’s inconsistent. I also gave the reason why I think so, which you did not bother to refute but attacked my poor cents!! ☹
Anyways! ????
I would suggest that when you write a book you can decide what to call it rather than rudely criticizing the authors’ choices for what they call theirs when they didn’t solicit feedback.
I am a die hard fan of IA! But does that mean I cannot criticise something I did not like as much? Also where was I rude?
First, this thread is now closed. If I let the original comment stand, it’s because I didn’t feel it warranted being removed.
Second, Anindya, to avoid further misunderstandings, let me explain why people are reacting to your comments in this way.
Choosing of the title is the writer’s prerogative. Nobody else has the right to name our books. In our case, an entire team of people has input in it: the two of us, our agency, our editor, marketing, publicist and so on, because we write commercial fiction and we want the book to sell well.
Once the title passed through this gauntlet of professionals, we publicize it. While I hate comparing books to babies – I had both, not the same – in this case it’s fitting. We are coming out and saying, “Hello, our new baby’s name is Robert.” Everyone is saying, “That’s a great name. Congratulations. We are excited to meet Robert.” It’s the polite thing to do. And one person says, “I think it’s a stupid name. Thomas would be better. Let me tell you all of my reasons.”
People perceive it as rude.
It’s natural to have an opinion about book titles. This probably wasn’t the best place and moment to express it, but I’m not upset by it, which was why I let your original comment alone.
However, this thread is now disintegrating, so I’m going to close it. All further replies to it will be deleted.
Thank you Ilona! I see my mistake. Apologies! Won’t happen again.
P.S. I guess you’ll read it anyway so replied despite knowing it’ll be deleted. Apologies again.
I was waiting for this. Thank you.
And now we cannot wait for the release date! I’ve already read the first five all two times and some three times.
woo hoo, now Ive got both Blood Heir AND Ruby Fever to look forward too!!!!!
Innkeeper & HL are my favourite reread series of all time, so they’ll keep me going in the meantime!
Great title!! I am so surprised with the titles you come up with and how perfect they are for the themes you choose. I guess I shouldn’t be because you are so good at writing and creating a title is a part of that.
What a lovely name! That’s so exciting! Looking forward to purchasing it!
OoooOooooh! 😀
Like it. Well done.
LOVE IT
So… trivia as told to me by a friend/ field gemologist/history student/former travel guide. Precious vs Semi-Precious denominations came to be because of taxation rules. “Precious” (Diamond, ruby, sapphire and emerald) was taxed while Semi-Precious (everything else) was not.
But that said, Ruby is the last of the 4 in your titles. Will Arabella’s story take over after the next book? I’m looking forward to seeing how those are titled as she seems to “color change” depending on which aspect of her magic she wants to use.
Whee!
Since her magic has the many colors thing my money is on a title with rainbow like rainbow fury or rainbow beast or something.
I’m not sure why, but that made me think of unicorns….. ????????
Now that you said that… its weird but in my mind Arabela and unicorns make a lot of sense now… have no idea why but it just is
After I read this comment, my mind went to the carnivorous unicorns at Piedmont Hospital while Kate, Derrek, and Eduardo’s father were on the roof waiting for the others to come and rescue them. 🙂
Ooh! I like it ????
Happy dance! Also, why do people always try to tell you what to do? Inconceivable. Thanks for everything!❤️❤️❤️

Several Commentators said they guessed part of the title. I could guess but never come near being correct. Ruby and Flame are excellent for this particular gem of this arc. The portent is ominous. I am looking forward to the blood-red gore delivered through the red-hot flaming ire of the protagonists.
???????? Thank You!
Squeeeee!
Fabulous. But actually not that interested in the title just looking forward to the book. I would read it no matter what it was called
+1
It’s already been proven that we are happy to read a grocery list. ????
This comment made me giggle to think of House Andrews doing a blog post with just random ingredients and the wild and rampant speculation on the part of the BDH as to what the list is for. New recipe House Andrews is trying? List of spell ingredients for Julie from her book? Things Orro needs for some exotic meal for some alien Inn visitors?
So very true,
So excited for this book! (I get ridiculously excited about all your books!) Thanks for the ongoing creativity, excellence and integrity that you guys bring to everything you do, I really appreciate it!
Yay! Intriguing. Looking forward to it! The blog art for your ruby is gorgeous, by the way.
Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Love this series can’t wait for the next book xx
Ruby Fever is a very lovely title<33
So excited to hear about this! Thanks for sharing. And I really liked Blood heir as it came out, but I know the two of you will make it even better.
I figured it would be Ruby Something, like Ruby Inferno (to continue the flame trend). Amethyst doesn’t quite trip off the tongue as nicely, and turquoise in the title would be ridiculous ????
Amethyst and turquoise just sound too tranquil, don’t they?
I’m so excited. Woot.
???????????????????????????????????????? Thank you! I love your work!
I like the title and am eager for the next Hidden Legacy installment, but honestly I was hoping for more Arabella. ????
Love the title!
OOH can’t wait!! I also am eagerly awaiting Blood Heir in January!! Love your work
Sooo.. where is the pre-order link?
Squeeee!!!
Anyone else have the head-tune “Fever” (Peggy Lee, 1958) running through your mind all day?
Awesomeness. Too soon to hope for an Arabella book? With Stephen Jiang, of course.
????????????????????????????????????????
Thank you!
More ???? ????
More Hidden Legacy ????
Lovely! Thank you!
That’s a wonderful title and something to look forward to in 12 mths time, I’m guessing.
I’m astounded at all the pressure being applied for pre-orders and demands for a release date, when it hasn’t been written yet. No wonder you’ve had to pull back.
Take care of yourselves and happy writing!! Love all your work.
+1
woot woot!
Huzzah! Fantastic Series 😀
Emerald Blaze was awesome! Excited for Ruby Fever!! YAY!!!????
That is wonderful news!!
Fun! I was commenting on the titles/tie-ins with both series to my DH after finishing Emerald Blaze. It’s a fun little quirk to have them definitely connected but stand alone for each series.
This title just set fire to anticipation. I will try to be good and wait and not whine. ????
Nice!!! Woohoo!!!
Rubies are red
Sapphires are blue
BDH is grateful
For another book by you!
+1 lol
DITTO
+1 ????
Woot! Another book to anticipate!
I mean, technically it tells us nothing, but I still went “EEEEEEEE!” when I saw.
Can’t wait!
I will be practising patience waiting for the book.
Let the pre-ordering begin! -lol
Will there be 3 more novels, based on Arabella?
When will Ruby Fever be released?
Ruby Fever – was maybe expecting the ruby along with the BDH so good guessing everyone! Does fever mean heat? Like in cops chasing robin-hood-thieves? Will the Baylor family go into hiding from the law to break the conspiracy around Caesar and thereby catching the heat from cops + enemies = fever?
As an exemplary member of the BDH, I went straight to Amazon to see if I could pre-order it already. No dice. Soon, please?????
Yay! Was wondering will it be ruby… 🙂
Preorder link, please. ????
Brilliant title! Can’t wait! <3
2021 is gonna be a great year for us: Blood Heir at its start and Ruby Fever likely around its middle. All love to House Andrews!
I will love it if the ‘Ruby’ word in the title has something to do with Catalina’s black wings that are tipped red at ends.
A new offensive power may be.
Great title. Can’t wait for the book. I love the Baylor Family. I hope we have an Arabella trilogy, too. She already is a very interesting character and can get herself into some challenging situations. Well, I really mean trouble by challenging.
I needed this excitement today! Thank you for a great announcement! 😀
Nice!
Cant wait!!
Excellent, another addition on my to read list, it’s been getting rather anemic lately.
Thank you!
I was hoping for something related to the black wings…unless the wings of black turn red?? Hmmm…
Sounds good to me. Red is my favourite colour!
Great title … Can’t wait to read it.
Thank you for your books and your blog posts!
So excited awesome title.
Woohoo! Alive with anticipation.
Yay! Looking forward to it, if the next level of Jumanji doesn’t kill us all first ????
I enjoy your work. You are talented storytellers weaving tales in complex universes.
If people can understand that you are simultaneously creating 3 separate worlds of with characters story lines, development and interactions …the heck with them.
Thank you.
Truly enjoyed series hope writing for you two relieves stress of social environment also hope you will show secondary talents and a story for the monster in the family
This is better than white-water rafting down the Gems Rapids of the Colorado River ????
Awesome!
And how on earth did I end up being the first poster? Most mysterious.
Judy
I swear, this site hates me. And this time I hadn’t already made half a dozen comments.
I like the next title – I will pre-order as soon as it hits Amazon, since what I own is a Kindle.
I’m really looking forward to Arabella’s trilogy. And I wouldn’t mind a story or two featuring Bug and Leon – who am I trying to kid?, I would LOVE a story or two featuring Bug and Leon.
A gem of a title.
Judy
Oh bloody hell!
All I did was snicker.
Darn it! You made me laugh! 🙂
I love it!! You guys are my favorite author! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing, imaginative, and wonderful stories.
It’s kind of ridiculous that just a title can make me this excited!!! ???? ???? ????
You two just INSIST on always delivering just what we need! I’m going to love Ryder as you revamp AND now I have a new Hidden Legacy to look forward to. You two are THE BEST!!
Thank you for the exciting news????
Can not wait!
Excellent title! Can’t wait to see the cover reveal! Catalina and Alessandro in red, OMG.
We move from green to red… hooooot!!!!.
Thank you- made my day!!!
Love it!
Terrific Title and can’t wait for the book!
Can’t wait!
I was hoping for news on another story being written for the Innkeepers. You have the brother showing up at Maude’s and he’s an arbitrator. Also there is Maudes wedding to contend with. Her sister and Sean have to be there. And there’s her wedding to Sean. Oh there are so many more stories. Please don’t tell me your done with the Innkeepers family. Oh and there is the parents to find. Please when is the next story?
We are contractually obligated to deliver the next Hidden Legacy. Then we will write the next Iron and Magic. Then, possibly the next Innkeeper. Please understand that our schedule is full. The bext way to keep up with our releases is by checking Release schedule in the menu above.
Contractual Obligations OR in publisher speak

Looking forward to January 12th!
Oh, Hey.
No comment, I’m just going over to Amazon now.

????
Yay Yay Yay! Can’t wait for the next instalment.
I know in jumping ahead but Is the Arabella aka THE COOL AUNT going to have a few books ? Im askin for a friend ????????????lol
woohoo!! something to look forward to!
Did “Ruby Fever” remind anyone else of “ruby madness!” from Jimmy Neutron? No, just me? Ok, cool, no worries.
Thank you, Ilona Andrews for this and previous post. Educational. We look forward to both stories. And all to other tales you choose to tell too. ????
Always a great day when a new book is anounced, woohooo!
Ruby Fever added to my anticipated book list, right next to Julie.
Thanks for the heads up, now awaiting the preorder link (of course).
Just read Emerald Blaze love love loved it, ohhhhhh the plot twist reveals ????????????jaw dropping when I read them. So looking forward to Ruby Fever ????????????.
I Much Appreciate Your work many thanks
Can’t wait!!
Wow!!!
Floating with joy and anticipation.
You made my day.
I can’t wait for the book to come out.
Yeah! Want it NOW! Just finished rereading “Saphire” and then read “Emerald” and “The Cool Aunt”( she is so much fun, I can’t wait ’till it’s her turn to have a whole book. When is “Ruby” coming out?
It doesn’t matter whose “world” I’m reading in, I love it all.
But take care of yourselves and stay healthy, first and foremost ❣️❣️ ????
Ilona and Gordon. Thank you so much for writing strong mother characters. As a mother I can sincerely appreciate it. You dont let motherhood hold any of your heroines back in fact I think we see some of their most powerfull moments due to being a mother. So thank you.
Sincerely,
Tara
I love this series, I can’t wait 🙂
I am really looking forward to Catalina’s story & her P O V.
I like the way Hidden Legacy is unfolding.
I’m loving the gem names. Thanks!
Perfect
Always ready!
I was close! I tried to figure out what the next one would be ages ago. I came up with “Ruby Inferno”, so at least I had the gemstone right! 🙂
OMG, Love this series!!! I can’t wait to get this one.
I’ve got a fever and the only prescription is more ruby!
I like it. Maybe because I have a July birthday and Ruby is the birthstone. I am eagerly waiting for this book.
I was voting for Tanzanite Torture, because that’s what it feels like to wait, but ok, I am sure you know best ????
LOL!
Thank you for the laugh. Tanzanite Torture that is too funny.
???????????? love this title! I’m considering renaming my house this, once I’ve looked up whether I can pull off any resemblance here to tanzanite.. or possibly my work from home space ????
I look forward to your Red Wedding.
***Scream***
Thank you!
OMG another one for Catalina! That is fantastic. I’m reading the Hidden Legacy Series, again, fourth time I think. I just love this family and this Realm. It’s just crazy wonderful and so interesting. You two have such a fantastic imagination. Looking forward to reading this book. ????
Love love love
Yay! This made me do a big “Ooooooo!” out loud, now my dog thinks it’s treat time hahaha. Thank you for being awesome and writing the best books!
Please, please tell me Bug is a character created after someone you know. Because I would really like to meet them ????
Just finished rereading catalinas second book and i just love it. Thank you ilona and gordon. I hope catalina gets her HEA, i fiercely hope linus is grandpa, and i also hope arabella gets a trilogy too. I love the delivery scene of nevadas baby and hope to see more! Thank you again
Oooooo! I just re-read the series. Can’t tell you how much I love these books.
Thank so much for every turned page, laugh, gasp, nail-biting moment and snort!
Love your titles. And rubies are classy, just like Catalina herself!
Name your books “1” “2” “3” and “4” and I’ll still read them.
Love it. Just finished Emerald Blaze last week. Loved, loved, loved it!
That’s fantastic! Can’t wait! When can we pre-order?
Great news! I love Catalina and I’m happy we get to see more of her and Alessandro. (And who knows, maybe his relatives, too?)
I look forward to Bug learning not to cuss. A baby in the house and all, my Mother used Jacques Cousteau in place of all curse words. I use Shadrach as a curse word. I also look forward to seeing who the 4 parties who tested Arabelle by hitting her car. I am assuming there are 4 different groups testing her temper with car crashes, rather than just Grandmother T. I am so excited!
A coworker of mine uses flower names for cussing – being a kindergarten teacher + mom of young kids. I heard her in the work room one day, absolutely loved it, & have tried to adopt the same habit for myself! I’m not yet great at remembering I the heat of the moment, but there is just something so satisfying about spitting out “Chrysanthemum!” “SnapDragon!” At need ????
First, big fan of all your stories. Have yet to read anything less that stellar by you two.
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong section. I have a couple of questions. What color is Catalina’s eyes? I know its a small thing but, i found a description for the rest of the family but not her. I just assume brown.
Second, have you all ever had any thought to doing a crossover of chacters kinda like the second book of Innkeeper? Shared universe so to speak. Instead of the MCU you got the IAU. LOL
Thanks for you time.
Chris
Excellent news
Thank you! Eagerly awaiting the next wonderful opportunity to visit the (virtual) family
I hope you are going to write more stories about in the Inn Keeper series. They are thoroughly enjoyable.
The way that Emerald Blaze left off let us know that Ruby Fever is going to be a very rough book. Nevada went through a lot, but Catalina has had to make harder decisions and bigger sacrifices.
I can’t imagine what awaits Arabella when it’s her turn to face the fire.
So excited for it! Love the title! Loved the latest Catalina book. I am starting to also get VERY VERY VERY excited to read a trilogy about Arabella… she seems like she will be the biggest hoot. Would you EVER consider doing a trilogy/book about Leon? He is one of my favorites and I bet his story would be so awesome. Following his journey through all the books has been so cool. Even just his sidestory with Audrey was so hilarious (at first) and then of course heartbreaking in the latest book.
Also, unrelated question, if you actually get around to reading and answering these, which it’s ok if you guys don’t since you’re obviously extremely busy… What is your editing process like? I’m an aspiring writer and have tried to read all your blog posts on writing and there just aren’t enough, lol 🙂 I finished my first draft, re-read it and I’m ready to tackle the big stuff, but it seems like there is just so much and it’s hard to know where to start. Plus everyone tells you to do something different, since everyone has a different approach. So I was curious what your process is. Thanks!
So sad. Yesterday Grace Draven had to take down her serialized version of “The Ippos King” because of pirating and Amazon rules. I have to assume this will become a sad trend where authors won’t be able to post anything that they might want to publish in the future. I hope you’ll still let us know how the dogs, the kids, the house, the knitting, and the mountain lions are doing, and maybe a few snippets here and there. Be well.
looking forward to this book … thank you for your wonderful work ….
Soo cool!!! Love Catalina. BTW, is this an appropriate place to beg for a novella from Leon’s perspective? I know all the books are from the female perspective, and I can’t wait for Arabella. But Leon is such a cool character. And when you write male characters it’s such a treat. Here’s hoping you might consider it.
Like many other posters I predicted the title would include Ruby but didn’t get the rest right. Never mind, whatever it’s called It will be terrific. Catalina has matured into a terrific heroine and deserves her happy ending with
Alessandro who has also grown and is more attractive because of his new found determination.
House Andrews, your ability to write characters we care about and want to know more about is amazing . I hope we eventually can read Arabella’s story but I also want more about Bern and Runa, Leon, Nevada and Connor and their son.
Plus there are lots of questions : why is Regina living “ off the grid” as much as possible? Will Penelope and Heart become an item? Will Bern and Leon’s mom (Gisela) return and cause chaos? Is Victoria Tremaine irretrievably an evil grandmother or is she now playing the part to “ toughen” Catalina up? I am hoping Arabella shares the information about who Grandfather is with Catalina in the next book.
There is so much to love in the Hidden Legacy series and I hope the publishers support you generously and we can look forward to many more additions to this excellent series.
Just emerging from another re-read of Emerald Blaze. Such a fun book. I wish for you more rest, solid lovely family time, & a whole lot of fun in the midst of the work of writing. We appreciate you & we enjoy you.
Ilona and Gordon,
You two have written books that I re-read, re-read, re-read. They are full of characters that set my own imagination on fire. Thank you for all your hard work which results in such “magical” books.
Hi I love y’alls books! Can’t wait to read this one. I had a question I have got my mom hooked on y’alls books she is obsessed with Kate and Curran. I was hoping to get my mom a signed copy of Magic Bites, but I’m not sure where to go? I know yall did a signing in Houston in August, but with covid 19 my mom isn’t getting out so we didnt get to go. I was very disappointed we didn’t get to go it was going to be a early surprise Birthday gift. (her birthday was Oct 2) She would have loved it. Than you for writing we love ya’ll

I have enjoyed many of your books but my favorites are the Hidden Legacy Series. It’s a terrific magical and weird world full of great characters. I am thrilled to await further adventures of the Baylor clan!
I’m super excited!!
I’ve the song ”ruby fever” circling in my head to the tune of boogie fever!!
????!!!
I am worried about Alessandro’s sisters. If they are penniless, they won’t be able to marry w/o dowries. Can the Baylor’s help?
I am curious about where the Ettersons are living. Their house burned down. I was hoping Rogan would sell them a building near the Baylors.
When will we have a synopsis ? I’ve just finished Emerald Blaze and I can’t deal with the fact that I’ll have to wait one more year to have the ending ^^
Your Title selection gets a 10+.
Waiting is sooooo hard. Especially
when you are a septuagenarian.
Ok, I just hv one thing to say, “Smile Bunny!”
Okay I just finished this series, and holy crap its so good!!!! How they came up with all these interwoven houses and story lines is amazing! When I finished the last one I thought…this cannot be it?!?!? Now to hear Ruby is coming, I am beyond excited!! Cant wait!
^_^ was expecting “Ruby Inferno” but this is still good does it indicate the theme for Arabella’s books? or is there another short story for her!
Also Bug is always my favourite character, he has no real power and is a rather minor character but still he makes the stories so much better.
Please keep using Bug
