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. A Magic Clams story would be cool and has so many possibilities. And no matter what ideas we (the BDH) come up with HA would write something totally different, awesome, wonderful and unexpected.

  2. Moderator R, I just pre-order Magic bites on Graphic Audio yé! I am eager to listen it. Also the clams made me laugh.

  4. Haha, Thanks for the laughs today. Everyone’s responses were funny too. The only problem is now I want clams.

      • I think I have to disagree, according to an extremely reliable source, regular crabs can jump into the beards of hard-working morally upstanding gynecologists with amazingly understanding wives, so the thought of magical crabs scares the snot of the healthcare provider in me.

  6. You never know. A certain joke a few years ago turned into one of my favorite books. If House Andrews can make us like Hugh then writing a compelling story about Magic Clams should be easy.

  7. This Blog is fun. We have mentioned we would buy Ilona’s grocery list. I wrote the recipe for a chocolate cake which was in one of the past blogs into my grocery store App, the store app automatically added the ingredients into my shopping cart list.

  8. I was a bit behind on the blog, so when I glanced at this one on my way to older posts, I thought house Andrews actually had put a typo in the title and chuckled to myself thinking bdh just shrugged and was like, “alright giant, monster, magical clams it is, I mean they are by the ocean now….”

  9. Hmmm – could be a tie-in the M&Ms American Super Bowl add about clams?

    Love the clams cover and sorry for any extra work!

  10. And these seem to be ‚free range‘ clams; they are floating in Kate & Curran‘s new forest…….. ????

  13. *Wonders if I was one of those people* I was sitting in the ER when it happened so it’s highly likely. Lol

  14. I bet Curran ate the clams too! ????

    Am I the only one that’s trying to forget Magic Claims for several months?

  15. To avoid blowing up krakens in the future, Kate is going to practice on magic clams, which are easier to come by. Since most of them (except the ones that try to eat people, ships, etc) are tiny, she gets to practice control. Don’t send out to much energy and avoid hitting the shell.

    Of course, there will also be a subplot involving a shell game and all the magical uses for magic clam shells. Also, they make a great chowder.

  17. Reading the post, I don’t think it was House Andrews who made the typo, but the BDH who did when they went a hunting and gathering.

    So I don’t think there’s a rare clam edition out there somewhere with an editor waiting to make its way to an auction house ????????

  18. Hello Mod R

    Finally finished reading and listening to the Magic Tides Q&A and in it it mentions Ghastek which made me think, would he and Rowena now get together and have kids.

    I know this was asked ages ago and it was NO because Roland was alive.

    Since Roland can never leave his home could this change their view?

    OH, and great Q&A, but you didn’t let Gordon say the big spoiler, too unfair, hope its in the second book.

    thanks heaps

  22. Clams and oysters filter toxins. Perhaps, when a kraken explodes or there is some other magical surge, the magic is filtered and stored by the clams. Soon there are dangerous hot clam beds of magic. Hi jinks ensue.

  25. Sadly, today is Valentines Day not April 1st! Another post said they would buy it, so would I. I would it if it said Magic BS!

  27. Hilarious, hey this could be a story to replace the magic mushrooms in ALICE IN WONDERLAND IT COULD totally be called Kate in Wonderland there are so many authors remaking fairy tales ???? (I can see it now instead of magic mushrooms kate finds magic clams in the water next to FORT KURE) as dumb as that sounds I would probably buy the book if you guys actually released something like this haha

    • Everything new from Ilona Andrews is on auto-buy for me. I love the style, I love the worldbuilding, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the editing. IA books are a guarantee for a few fantastic hours 🙂

  28. The cover is compelling and introduces a new antagonist to Kate’s world!

    In the tradition of the BDH, I’m going to read waaaaaaay too much into the {faux} cover and create sureal explainations for why there are clams in the aqua-marine forest and what message they are trying to convey… is it a warning? a threat? a demand? a cry for help? or perhaps an invitation?

    So many posibilities to tease our imaginations.

  29. Hello, hope you are well.

    On the front page of the blog, Magic claims is written as a new release, not “coming soon”.

    I am probably not the first to have told you this but just in case…

  33. And what could Orro make with those….
    Wouldn’t mind seeing Caldenia with a bit of a buzz from some mystical chowder….

  37. Magic clam chowder with immortal apple pie dessert.
    Recipes included.
    Hell, I’d read it. I even tried to preorder it,although I do blame my cataracts

  41. This has apparently happened enough that when I went to amazon australia and typed “Magic Claims” into the search bar, it automatically searched for “Magic Clams” with a little “Did you mean “Magic Claims”?” underneath – it overrode my correct search!!

  43. In the Post-Shift world, giant clams run amok and only Kate, her mighty mate Curran and son Conlan can bring their reign of terror to an end. Who’s up for clam chowder!

  45. Love the cover and all the puns about the clams the BDH came up with, really needed the laugh.
    And would totally buy the book with this cover as well- your special covers are too good ????

  47. Hey, you already got magic snails in Kates world, why not magic clams? Maybe some sort of healing chowder ????
