The working writer dude has been named. I present to you Edgar Allen Prose, from now on known simply as Edgar.
“It is truly my greatest honor to be given a name. Here I was, adrift, resigned to anonymity that is a constant companion of our profession. It haunts me the way it haunts all writers, that desperate struggle to become a household name just so I could then rue the day I had become a household name and publicly regret my celebrity. I longed for the days when I can attend a gathering of my peers and hear them say, ‘I heard you’re moving up in the world.” And I of course, will hang my head and respond with a tinge of melancholy, ‘Alas, one must surrender freedoms in the name of success. It is a heavy burden, but I shall bear it.’ Thank you for making my dreams come true, BDH!”
Edgar Allen Prose
Questions
“I’m a reasonably patient woman. However, this is the third time we’re having this conversation. It will be the last time. Words are clearly not working. You simply don’t care. Rewards are not working either. I’ve never been a fan of corporal punishment, so that’s right out. I guess I will have to lock you up.”
The culprit stared at me, his mouth hanging open.
“If I see you anywhere near Princess or any of her siblings again, all of your free roaming privileges will be revoked. I won’t tolerate any further assaults. Do I make myself clear?”
Nothing.
I stared at him. “I mean it, Grendel. If you don’t stop chasing the chickens, I will put you on a leash and lock you into a kennel at night.”
The giant poodle whined softly, his ears and tail drooping.
“You know where I stand. Go on!”
He slunk away. I patted Princess’s feathers, as she snuggled against me on my lap. “Who is the best chicken ever? You are.”
What kind of a chicken did Kate see in Magic Claims?
A lavender Oprington hen. They are very sweet and cuddly.
What is the wildest fan theory you have ever read?
You are not ready for this. Read at your own risk.
Saiman, throwing one long leg over the other in a chair
“As you know, I have a complicated ancestry. While it is true that Loki is my grandparent and the origin of my polymorph powers, I have never been able to shapeshift in the traditional sense of the word. I can’t assume the form of an animal. I can only indulge in a variety of human forms. So while it is true that my grandfather once shifted into a mare, mated with stallion Svaðilfari, and gave birth to Sleipnir, who became Odin’s horse, I would like to state in the strongest possible terms: I am NOT Tulip’s mother…”
We owe that fella a dinner or something. We have used his image a great deal. He probably has no idea even.
I was thinking he’d love finally having a name!
Sorry, I cannot hear you over the sound of Saiman and Bucky, sitting in a meadow, N-E-I-G-H-I-N-G!
literally choked out a laugh and a cough at this comment!! I was not prepared for the images that came to mind!! (￣□￣;)

So that statement from Saiman was in response to a fan theory? How lucky is the BDH that we get rebuttals in the form of a snippet?!
Also, Grendel and the chicken: priceless!
What she said 😁!

What, Mod R?! I can’t hear you over that noise. 🤣
I officially congratulate you, Mod R, upon choking me on decaf so hard I now have a clean computer screen. LOL

Bwahaha!!! My hunny named his Harley trike Slepnir because it has extra “legs” 🤣
Too funny! Snort!

🤣🤣🤣
Yeess!
Outstanding! Thank you for the belly laugh!!!
I absolutely love Orpington hens! We had a few Buff Orpingtons and a Black Orpington and they’re so sweet and love to be preened and petted. Yay fluffy cuddle chickens!
im going to get a bunch when i finally get to have some chickens, i think. they are pretty & theyre cuddly?! count me in.
Fun! Thanks for the chuckles.
I can honestly say that it NEVER crossed my mind that Saiman would be revealed as part of Tulip’s origin story.
Same! I mean…it’s a stretch….
+1
Norse mythology leaves me speechless pretty much any time I venture there. Not sorry to have missed the period of history that produced it.
Thanks for the clarification Saiman! 😂
I thought Loki was born as the mare? reincarnation business?
idk I get all confused with all the Loki origin stories that different authors adapt and create 😁
Tulips mother though 😂😂😂
I love it.
I looked at the post title and automatically assumed we would have another tale of Texas arachnids! Love the pictures, especially eight-legged Sleipnir….Thanks for the chuckle!
Whenever I get onto a plane, I pat the door frame and say “get us there safely, Sleipnir!” 🙂
::hangs head in shame:: I totally missed the extra legs on the horse.
It’s 2 horses, so don’t worry about it! 🙂
An now I am having mental kittens imagining Saiman bein interviewed by Dinah and Sean physically throwing him out of the inn and the Inn smacking his ass on the way out… pervert indeed….
OMG yes! 💯 YES!!!!!
It would be fun to know if that guy has heard how popular he is with the BDH.
It would just be too much if his name turns out to be Edgar!
…. Saiman as tulips mother… I am dying. I wish I thought of that … LOL
OMG! That was fantastic, I do love the BDH😊
IKR nearly sprayed red wine laughing so hard.
I mean yes, it would explain things. Though there should be more whacky if it were so.
The title reminds me of AK’s Law of Romance Novels:
“When we have sex, we must all have the same number of legs.”
Heh, this is clearly a law that has fallen on hard times in the Golden Age of Alien Smut and Monster Fu…errr, Enthusiasts.
Have not heard of this before, who/what is AK?
OMG the images in my mind!!!! I love that Kate got Princess, this snippet was the cutest and funniest, poor Grendel though LOL
That fan theory broke my brain. Thanks BDH for giving me that visual as a birthday present.
So funny! it was great to laugh at this! Thank you!
Bwahahahahaha!
that last line 😹😂
Kate got chickens.
What is it about chickens?
Maybe Grendel needs some puppies?
Saiman – Tulips mother? Wow.
Most people can’t follow simple storylines on a tv show, yet BDH fans don’t just jump the shark they jump the ocean.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Bucky is Tulip’s father. Who knows who Tulip’s mom is.
I vote for Cuddles
Unicorn and mammoth donkey 🫏
The way Mod R, who has insider knowledge, said Bucky and Saiman sitting in a tree, makes me think your suspicion is confirmed.
I do not have insider knowledge on this! 😀 It’s just my suspicion!
+1
sure, we believe you.

I vote the dam must be one of the shadhavar. Tulip had blood on her muzzle in BH and was told at one point “no biting!”
+1, I am thinking the same!
OMG! That was fantastic, I do love the BDH😊
Peanut! Julie’s horse from Magic stars. Of course, she could have been Saiman too.
Oh my….
Yeah for Edgar!!!!
Ah, ModR is back the BDH is no longer unsupervised. Of course, this *is* the BDH we’re talking about…
Thank you for the results and the Monday morning laugh!
Buahahaha!!!! The idea of Saiman being Tulip’s sire would explain so very much. Thanks for the giggle.
And, I really hate when I don’t proof before I post. My phone SHOULD have figured me out by now.
Fixed 🙂
At first I wasn’t sure who was talking in the Questions section until I saw Grendel’s name. Then I realized it was Kate. 🤦♀️
Saiman Tulip’s mother?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Uh no. I never thought Saiman was Tulip’s mother. I always thought it was Bucky as Tulip’s father and either a Persian unicorn or another magic horse as her mother. Nope, nope, nope to Saiman. 🤪🫣
When I read that first paragraph I thought the BDH had misbehaved and we were being taken to the woodshed!
Senior moment here, who’s Bucky?
Bucky is Hugh’s horse, introduced in Iron and Magic 🙂 https://ilona-andrews.com/the-iron-covenant/#ironandmagic
Bucky is Hugh’s horse in Iron and Magic
I love the BDH! Thanks all😎
um, it’s been a while, but was Bucky short for Bucephalus (Alexander the Great’s ride)?
Yes 🙂
thank you for asking (not a senior, but also having a moment)
🙂
I hope Princess still has serious egg laying power:-D
Awww poor Grendel! 🤣
Saiman never disappoints!!
nickname EAP ????
He prefers Edgar. 🙂
Someone break out their Photoshop. I wanna see thumbs-up Edgar in a BDH sweatshirt. He can be our spokesperson and say “I approve this message”.
OMG, yes!
Three great lolz for a Monday morning. You’re good to us!
Thank you for a Monday smile!
That is a fantastic picture!
So, one of my favrite things about the Sleipnir story is when Loki shows up, several months after the “lead Svaðilfari away”, the entirety of the Aesir and Vanir were just like, “My the weirdest think Loki has done”. No one said a thing…. 🤣
Yes, that is an far-fetched theory.
Wishing Kate lots of luck with Grendel. Maybe Princess and friends could live in a gated community with a moat?
The Princess needs a moat!!!!
Maybe Dina would be willing to sell one of the Koo-Ko coops.
Hee hee. +1
OMG! I can’t stop laughing!
BAHAHAHA!!!! Poor Grendel. And Saiman…well…Saiman.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! All I can say is “Live by shift changing, die by the rumored shift changing, Saiman!”
Now I want to see a Saiman interview at the Inn with Sean glowering when he hits on Dina.
Why would he stop at Dina. Wooing an alpha strain Werewolf would be quite the coup.
Or hits on Sean. Or both.
Oh, wow!
Poor, poor Grendel! At least he was only chasing. No fun for Princess, admittedly, but less fun for Grendel now he’s been busted.
And…. Eeew!!! Phhhtew! And just plain ick. Even if Saiman was capable of shifting into a mare I give Bucky full credit for good sense.
Saiman sounds like he is on Maury Povich! 😆 🤣
😂 The DNA results are in.
Saiman is not Tulip’s mother! *Crowd gasps*
+1
Thank you for this post! I laughed out loud, which is great because I feel like death warmed over today! I am going to try to nap…
Lmaooooo! That was great. As a little girl, my mom bought some Leghorn hens for meat. By the time she got them home there were 3 eggs in the cage so she kept them for layers. I was 4 and turned them into pets. They were my “Pretty Girls” and I would pick them up and carry them around. I’d also sit with them on my lap and pet them like a cat. They passed from honorable old age having mothered many generations.
Question; can Saiman be mother and father to the same child?
No, and not just because of logistical difficulties hehe.
As he explains to Kate in Questinable Client, he cannot be anyone’s mother:
“I’m male, and while I may construct a vaginal canal and a uterus on occasion, I’ve never had cause to recreate ovaries. And if I did, I suspect they would be sterile. Unlike the male of the species, women produce all of their gametes during gestation, meaning that when a female infant is born, she will have in her ovaries all of the partially developed eggs she will ever have. The ovaries cannot generate production of new eggs, only the maturation of existing ones. The magic is simply not deep enough for me to overcome this hurdle.”
Andrews, Ilona. Small Magics, NYLA Publishing 2015. Questionable Client.. Kindle Edition, page 45
The fact that this has actually been answered is one of the glories of HA!
This has also been disproved. Women generate gametes all through their adult life.
And because it has to be said, Saiman is not denying paternity…
I’m not sure about “disproved” 🙂.
The research into ovarian stem cells that can go through oogenesis is still in its early days – the strongest data is from less than a decade ago, and not all scientists are convinced by it https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-14936-3
Questionable Client is almost 15 years old by contrast- and the point still stands. Saiman cannot produce a fertile female womb- because his creators said so 😁.
I can see you sticking your tongue out Mod R, and also saying “so there”. 🙂
😂 I’m not, I promise!
But with House Andrews, it’s hard sometimes to remember the characters are just ideas and not real people.
Only if he is a worm, Erra does call every despicable being a worm, so maybe? Lol
Ha Ha, Thanks, I needed all of that today!
Oh, thank you for letting us know Kate took Princess home. And Grendel, poor dear. So hard to behave at times. And Edgar’s name : Yes!
🤣😊🤕😐😶 Saiman’s description make me spit my drink, wake up the child, and smack my head on the desk. Thank you, truly.
😂😂😂
Poor Grendel. He works so hard at being a proper dog.
I though the first 3 sentences under Question was directed to the horde.
Great picture of the two horses. Someone has a very good camera.
Dang! Another brilliant theory of mine destroyed on the hard anvil of facts!
Bwah-hah-ahahaahaaa! Zooterkins, but I wish I could honestly claim to have come up with that one on my own!
Omg. I almost fell off the sofa over Saiman’s comment. Too, too htsterical.
p.s. Did anyone else notice the horse had only SEVEN legs and 2 tails? (Sorry, ocd and I compulsively count items I see.)
LoL…
Nope… but I did notice that the back legs of the back horse are VERY close to each other … which imo … makes it look like a shadow on one leg when it’s probably 2 legs with the back leg mostly hidden by the leg closest to the camera.
The back horse is in that part of their gait where all 4 feet are off the ground. From what little info I have regarding this it’s not uncommon for the back legs to be off the ground and in sync (thus vanishing) … making the image where all 4 legs are individually visible & off the ground sorta famous from way back at the beginning of photography days.
Love Edgar. And still keep chortling about Saiman and Tulip. I was betting on Bucky. I’m sure Loki never lived that one down. Although, with Loki, one never knew. And where, I wonder, did Saiman grow up as Loki’s grandchild? H’mmmm. Could have had a rough childhood. Although I believe he had a reasonable relationship with a frost giant cousin.
From what I recall of Norse mythology, no, Loki never did live that one down.
I personally think Tulip is Bucky’s…Hugh mentions the scar on Bucky’s face, there is the illusion of a horn on Tulip’s head…
I’m sorry, I’m much more confused about where Princess came from! The notation says Tides, but I don’t remember any chicken scene in Tides…. or hints of chickens…? Do we think it’s a (possibly deleted) scene from #3?
Tulip being of Bucky’s line totally makes sense to me, especially with how close Julie and Hugh are, just never thought to question Tulip’s lineage before. (Weird magical flesh-eating maybe-unicorn? Seems legit for KDWorld)
It’s the chicken vendor scene in Magic Claims, not Tides 😊- when Kate heads over to the Order after Ned’s visit.
Thank you, All Knowing Mod R, leader of the BDH!
I’ll be honest, I don’t recall a chicken in Magic Tides either, but definitely one in Magic Claims.
Refresh your page please 🙂, only older versions of the article say Tides.
Peanut & a Shâd’havâr?…That was in Magic Shifts?…Eduardo’s father was in town with a flying horse thingy.
I’ve wondered about Tulips mom after Julie told her to go to her (Tulips) mother if anything happened to Julie. I assumed Bucky was her sire. I hope we eventually get this mystery solved. Simon oh boy. that’s too funny. thanks for the laug . And the chickens.
Welcome to EA Prose, may he entertain us often! (still love Archibald tho). Loved loved the Grendel snippet but the Saiman theory made me LOL!! Thank you for sharing! Great start for the week
Hilarious. The whole post is hilarious. Thank you.
Thanks for the laughs, ha ha!
“I am not Tulip’s Mother” oh dear. 🙂 I need that on a shirt or a mug or something.
Thanks for all the laughs, the hours. I enjoy your blog as well as ALL of your books.
The story of Loki shifting to steal the giant’s stallion away and then becoming pregnant is the one Tulip and Bucky may be related because don’t they both manifest a unicorn horn?
Darn computer cut off my comment. Should say “is the one that always made my mythology students go “ewww.”
“I’ve never been a fan of corporal punishment.” Bwahahahah!!
I want free range chickens. I am zoned for chickens but have four dogs and coyotes and bobcats visit us regularly.
I needed that. My associate had emergency surgery over the weekend and I walked into a dark office this morning. She never takes a sick day. We have driven her to ER with pnusmonia before because she thought she could work. She will be fine but needs to stay home and not work.
pneumonia
Omg, Saiman as Tulip’ s father. My brain can’t wrap around the concept. I love the Horde. We are out there….. thanks for a fun read
Mother 😁, even better
I choked a bit trying to laugh internally as my family is asleep.
thank You IA for a reason to smile 🙂
*blink*
*blink* Ok, that’s a theory I never would’ve guessed.
Also, now I need to convince husband we need some of those chickens. Sweet, we need sweet chickens, not a ginger monster who dared me to poke her with a stick to get her into the safety of her hutch. *eyeroll*
Yay Edgar!! 📜✒️
Glad Kate got proper chicken behavior straightened out with Grendel. Given the right motivation, all dogs will hunt.
(Even my childhood terrier mix, who had cataracts and was a chunky princess.)
lol, lost it on that thought never even had gone in that direction,..wait so he might
be a relative of Bucky’s through his grandfather? oh nevermind it’s a horn not legs that somewhat appear, but what about his girlfriend could be legs….that would be a very weird breeding program….lol
House Andrews you never fail to make me smile! your awesome! Best wishes for you and yours!
Sending virtual hugs and good vibes! From my lair in northern BC Canada
Noting that Saiman firmly denies that he is Tulip’s mother, which gets expanded upon when Mod R reminds us that he cannot create functional ovaries when shapeshifting to a female form. Nothing in there to say he can’t be Tulip’s father… Just to add, that photo of the two horses is so perfect.
Also, just how many images do you guys have stocked for our Mr. Edgar Allen Prose, anyway? Having gone through some of the older blog posts recently, I saw at least five or six different poses, and I’m going to assume that you bought a whole collection of them at once. He’s just awesome, and I would LOVE for the model to find out he has a home space here with the Book Devouring Horde.
That’s what I’m actually curious about. Where do all the fantastic images of Edgar come from? If he’s a real man, he has such a wonderfully expressive face. What does the photographer say to him to get some of those expressions?
Now I vote we get to name sexy dude who pretends to write books on a bed with coffee.
Edgar’s pictures come from stock image websites, like Adobe Stock, where images sometimes come in a series. The same artist or model will have several poses for the same idea. Ilona buys the right for use on the blog, and since Edgar is always so popular, the blog has collected quite a few of him 🙂.
A lovely out-loud laugh. Thank you. Actually, two loud laughs. Grendel made me laugh too.
Saiman denies being Tulip’s mother. Okay, but I notice he didn’t say anything about Cuddles. He is a frost giant and she’s a mammoth donkey after all…
Good hit!

All hail the almighty Edgar!
New t-shirt? “I am NOT Tulip’s mother”?
Oh Saiman… really, it’s a fair question… LOL
So there is ONE limit on who Saiman will engage in s(m)exytimes with. Good to know.
I had no idea this theory existed but there’s always artificial insemination if he ever wants to test the limits of his genetic heritage.
Welcome to Edgar Prose, his name is as distinctive as his looks. I am not a fan of feathered birds being up close and personal with me even though I do eat a lot of eggs. They totally give me the heebie jeebies. I listened to both Wilmington stories from Hoopla while doing chores, very nicely done!
Catlover,
While also not a fan of feathered creatures, it’s not that they give me the heebie Jeebies, it that they can put me in the hospital with anaphylactic shock. I don’t mind looking at pictures of them, (that one in the post is so pretty) but I don’t dare get close to them. Even pretty, fluffy ones that love to be cuddled.
we have lavender Orpingtons and the rooster (orpingtons are suppose to be the most calm and gentle chickens) was a terror. he’s been gone for almost 6 months and I still do the kung-fu back the fudge up you evil chicken when I’m outside and one comes running to me. all of my other roosters are gentle souls but he was of the devil. his name was Larry btw.
that was suppose to say orphingtons..
Fixed 🙂
Just wondering if burial in heavily magical Unicorn Lane will resurrect Siaman? Just a thought
You might want to read Blood Heir for more Saiman reveals and plot twists 😉
I love Grendel, even when he is a naughty puppy! (Aren’t they all?) 😂
I’m glad Kate got her chickens. And that our expressive visitor got a name.
That’s one wild theory.
“I am NOT Tulip’s mother…”
That sentence brought to the tears. ROTFL
Hello there, Mr. Prose! Your statement was hilarious! Hope you can stop ruing and regretting your new-found celebrity and start enjoying the fame!
Also, not nice, Grendel! Please don’t assault Princess and her people anymore.
And ew, re: Saiman. 😀
These are just too good!
Seriously, Saiman as Tulip’s mother made me.laugh out loud.
Wow. And here I just assumed Peanut was Tulip’s mom, and the bloodthirstyness was from dad Bucky.
(Yes, I know it’s dam and sire, but…)
It is lovely to meet Edgar Allen Prose!
Re Saiman: 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you!!! I so needed that!
LOL My 14 yr old son was getting his hair cut when I was reading this. I snort laughed and got that look that says, “You are embarrassing me and I do not know you!”
I’ve been searching for years to know what kind of chick we raised.
She became the sweetheart… she was talkative, gentle and friendly. When she was still growing into the beautiful bird she became, we picked her up and set her on our shoulder as we carried the rest of the chicks into the house.
She never flew off our shoulders and would set there and talk to us.
We called her ‘Grey Lady’
Never before had we bestowed a name on a chicken because they were always so much alike that we couldn’t tell them apart.
She was different… her soft down was lavender and her outer feathers were dark lavender to grey.
I miss her… she was a true friend. You could go into the chicken house and walk right up to her and she would look up at you and cock her head and try to talk. We would pick her up gently and hold her and she barely ever struggled.
She lived to the ripe old age of 7 because we couldn’t bear to kill her. My mom sold her with the rest of the chickens because we were trying to get rid of a mite infestation.
Thank you for helping us finally figure out what she was… she was one-of-a-kind. 🙂
Wouldn’t it be funny if IRL Edgar is somehow amongst the BDH?
You have no idea how hard you made me laugh! Thank you for the wonderful Grendel snippet. For a second there I thought we were in big trouble with you over something until I realized it was Kate talking to Grendel. Then the idea of Saiman being Tulips mother had me absolutely rolling with laughter. Again, thank you so much, I’ve been sneezing for the last couple of days and I really needed this pick me up.

I’m listening Magic Rises for the millionth time and I seriously curious what have Mahon done to Rats and Jackals during first European trip. It’s mentioned few times throughout the series and I don’t think it was ever explained.
Why did anyone ever make deals with the Norse Gods? If it looked like they would actually have to honor a deal, then they would find some way to weasel out of it. Sabotaging the builder so you don’t have to pay him is just foul. (Of course, the builder’s pay request was just a tad unreasonable (Freyja, the sun, and the moon), but if the Gods didn’t want to pay, they shouldn’t have agreed.)
OMG, the pictures that developed in my fruitful mind.
laughing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 till I glasped
Princess is Best chicken name ever! Henny Penny is just so common.
And a rooster friend named Penny Farthing who is father to all the chickens.
I’m so grateful for the absolute delight these snippets have given me today. thank you xxx
As a old horsewoman my mind immediately inserts the foals head, on the other side of the mare…just to pragmatic I guess…
I am not a chicken person but I see the appeal in any critter…
Laughing, but also remembering . . .
the breeder of our first German Shepherd Jazz (the others have been rescues) was a good friend although we didn’t live near each other, so of course we and Jazz went back to visit friends and mum, Jem. when Jazz was about six months old. Our friend was an early riser as she worked for a company based in Brussels, she didn’t expect us to get up at 6 am, but on our first visit opened our room door to let Jazz out so we could sleep on undisturbed by her desperation to get to see Jem. When we did get up our friend greeted us with an apology, Jazz had killed one of her chickens, she was so so so very sorry! We were a little bemused at how apologetic she was, but she said “I knew Jazz wasn’t used to chickens, I shouldn’t have let her near them!” which was true, but nevertheless rather refreshing. Jazz had been trying to say “hello” to the strange thing and it couldn’t cope with being picked up, even soft-mouthed. So I have some sympathy with Grendel, he isn’t used to chickens poor boy.
And yes my nym is from my first dog ;-D
can you release the story of dollitle please?, about conlan’s school visit to Fort kurre? I love to read more of it.
I will add it to the list of questions- I know House Andrews thought about the scene 🙂
+1
I love these!
haha! Oh, you guys are on top of the fun. All the fun.
But saiman didn’t say he wasn’t Tulips father?!?!? 😂
I just woke up all the furry beasties reading that.
I name all my bicycles after mounts in literature (Shadowfax, Sliver Blaze, and Babe the Big Blue Ox). After my mom passed in 2020 I used some of my inheritance to buy a dream gravel bike. I named her Tulip because Tulip is awesome and my mom loved flowers.
Awww, may she be a faithful steed like her namesake! 🙂
Also Princess was my first dog’s name. At one point a peacock decided our backyard looked like a good new home and that teasing her was fun. She got slower and slower then once day we came home to feathers around the house and a dead peacock. I hated the bird so I wasn’t sad, but I was glad I wasn’t home when this happened.
I love that Edgar received his name in the very first comment on the “Name That Man” post — of all those spectacular name suggestions, I guess this was just meant to be!
For the record – Saiman only said he wasn’t the mother of Tulip. Why didn’t he say that he wasn’t one the parents hmmm?
There were no chickens in Mclaims so I assume this is an outtake. Nice one
There were chickens in Magic Claims 🙂:
“ The chicken vendor, a dark-haired older white man, waved a huge chicken around asking for bids. She was gray and fluffy and seemed content to sit in his arms like a docile cat. “…lays five large brown eggs a week!”
That was a good-looking chicken with some serious egg-laying power. I should probably look into that.“
Andrews, Ilona. Magic Claims, Wilmington Years 2. NYLA 2023. Kindle edition, page 28
Edgar needs a significant other, someone to let him know when he’s being ridiculously pedantic or just ridiculous.
Ohhh-kay…
But that only brings up another question: is Hugh’s stallion Bucky Tulip’s sire?
bwahahahaha!!!!! poor Tulip! Welcome to the family Edgar. You don’t have to be crazy to fit in, but it sure helps!
