Title Typos and Many Apologies

Blog, Kate Daniels POST A COMMENT by

Apparently, there was a typo in the latest Kate Daniels novella announcement. We are so sorry. Here is the new cover for your enjoyment.

This is in reference to several readers mistakenly typing Magic Clams into the search bar of their retailers and then being puzzled why they couldn’t find it. A surprisingly large number of you did it. Thank you for the chuckle, guys!

  1. OMG LOL

    And I would STILL buy it.

    Conlan stumbles across the magic class while playing pirate, snacks, and finds they enhance his power such that he accidentally claims Wilmington. So much for the low profile!

    • I demand that a funny, but short story called Magic Clams should be written.

      I’m just kidding, I would never demand anything of you. The two of you work hard to give us these amazing stories, and as an avid reader I’m grateful.
      I wouldn’t complain though.

        • They would create huge piles of ooze in certain neighborhoods and live it in, and if anyone tried to take through the ooze to eat them they would squirt jets of fluid that smells like a gym locker after a year. ( was thinking of the clams that if you walk in a tidal area squirt).

          Either that or clams that attack seafood places as an army and eat the patrons with cocktail sauce and lemon, or for Italian restaurants linguini with people sauce.

          though in reality probably would just make sure their muck is thick and the water always very cool and full of yummy things to filter, they are mellow.

      • Maybe there will be Magic Clams in one of the books … in a side note … 😉 lol (and then we will all know and remember how those came to be …..)

  2. I never noticed this typo but this is hilarious xD

    well, in time honored tradition of Warlord’s Price, you know what you have to do HA!

  4. come on now. I think you were just trying to see if we were all bots!!!!

    I cannot imagine the amount of work this is created for you, but please be laughing because I know that BDH would love a unique copy collector item with misprint!

  11. Maybe magic clams should have some kind of glowing ☢️ pearls that would solve the energy crisis (and be safe to use because they are magic!). Vehicles would run on a single pearl and a strand of them could power a building!

  13. Now I’m imagining a story involving magic clams… Maybe a slice-of-life from the Mercenary Guild? Wouldn’t that be a wacky ticket? ????

  14. Maybe the magic clams are what the baby kraken ate while swimming up the river before Kate blew it up. Or they could be what the mermaids and mermen were gathering for Aaron before he went bye-bye. Or they could be what the Farm could possibly gather for future food. Maybe the Order would cook them and have them with lemon?

    Thanks for the laugh. The cover for Magic Clams is nice. 🙂

  18. bahahhaha if Kate found magic clams they would be carnivores or make magic pearls that explode or create portals to other dimensions.

  23. Amazon Canada is broken, I think.

    I took a snippet (attached), I put in Magic CLAIMS and yet it still gives me clams for some reason.

    Thanks to ModR, who sent me the correct link, but I dunno……maybe the Amazon search engine has had too many caesars?

    (hmm, maybe only Canadians will get my joke, see it’s about a drink that has clam juice…)

    • That sounds like the start of a new BDH title game.

      Unfortunately, all I could come up with is Magic Wiz.

      Although if you titled one Magic Mic then you might get some new readers if they mistype the movie name.

    • Magic Mik, Magic Bits, Magic Buns — it all kind of hangs together (no pun was intended). Thank you for the funny – working from home today, and I snorted which made the cats look at me funny.

      Now thinking of recipies .. the Chowder of Invincibility, the Ceviche or Awesomeness,

  27. I did this!!! So confused by what Amazon showed me (I’m in Australia, so didn’t use your click through links).

    But the Facebook comments from other BDH made my confession hilarious

  30. Question. Why is it called Year Two, Wilmington? This is only the 2nd story of them in Wilmington, so why year 2? Also do happy that a 2nd story is coming!!!!!!

  33. Today has definitely been a Monday. Evidently I added the “i” and missed the “clams”. That is pretty funny though, good for a giggle!

  36. Well Kate and Curran did move to the NC coast so now they can have all the magical clams they want lol. I can’t remember if Curran is partial to seafood (probably not as a werelion) but didn’t he accidentally eat magical apples without knowing when he stole some apple pie from Kate’s fridge? I can’t remember what book this was but I always thought that was so funny.

    • I think it happens sometime between book 2 and 3, at least it’s definitely referenced in book 3, Magic Strikes! ???? Julie is very mad at him for stealing Kate’s food hehe.

  37. Laughing so hard I am crying! I want this cover to go with the Hello Kitty t-shirt that someone put on Rogan for HL #2. Y’all just made my day!

    • Wouldn’t it be funny if Curran found a Hello Kitty t-shirt in with all his other t-shirts? ????????????

  38. OMG – that is hysterical!!

    So so excited to see Kate and Family back and developing a whole new community! Loving Conlon and how he is developing as an intelligent and critical thinking youngster.

    Curran has developed a bit, too, and is still protective of Kate but has settled into confidence of her abilities to handle her own s*~t, which he was not in the previous books. Their relationship has matured and developed, and I love it.

    All the feels, and kudos and appreciation to House Andrews!

  39. Oh my Word!
    Magic C l a m s
    Those pesky mollusks ???? burrowing into our book searches.
    Thank you for this Monday giggle. Okay I’m back to mundane house chores.

  40. LOLOLOL.

    But now you’ll probably end up writing the story to go with that cover. I’m picturing a family dinner going horribly and hilariously wrong.

  42. That gave me a chuckle. I loved all the parts with Orro and the koo-ko in the Innkeeper series, and now this makes me curious as to what kind of story House Andrews would write regarding magic clams.

    On another note, I just realised that I am part of the BDH since I’ve been reading and buying IA’s books since Magic Bites.

      • Edit:

        {One of us! One of us! ????}
        Rah, rah, rah, cis, boom, bah,
        Something, Something, Something
        Squeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
        (Pompoms!!!!!!!!)

  48. I don’t care what the title is as long as it comes out on the 13th. That’s my birthday. But even if it doesn’t it’s still a wonderful birthday present.

  49. Zooterkins! The Beast Lord is coming!!!! It’s every bivalve for itself!!!!!! Whatever, a new Kate book has me happy as a clam.

  50. So, the cover looks a bit clammy. That’s ok, I love clams. Apologies to J. Hart, but how many clams for the new book? I still have my day job. Wait I retired 7 years ago. However, the economy required me to return to work a year ago. We needed more clams to survive. Ok, gonna stop & clam up. Just one more thing. I really, truly love & enjoy all your books!! Keep up the great work guys!!
