You guys are insatiable.
Ok, let’s see if I can do this correctly. We usually operate in twelve month chunks so, here we go. This is all tentative and subject to change. Things in italics are supertentative.
2018
Sep 10 Begin work on Hidden Legacy #4.
Nov 6 Diamond Fire, Hidden Legacy 3.5, goes on sale.
Nov Edit and prepare Sweep of the Blade for publication.
Dec Subterranean releases collector edition of Kinsmen.
Dec 18 Sweep of the Blade goes on sale.
Dec 31 Hidden Legacy #4 is due.
2019
Jan Edit and prepare Technomancer Hidden Legacy novella for sale (note to self: don’t post anymore fun snippets or be bugged mercilessly.)
Jan Begin Iron Covenant #2. If no issues arise, complete, edit, and release by June. If issues arise, push it back to October or so.
Develop the side project set in Innkeeper universe.
Develop the proposal, outlines, and strategy for the unnamed project we cannot discuss.
Aug Hidden Legacy #4 goes on sale.
And that concludes the year, provided no emergencies happen, which they usually do. Again, all of this is tentative, so please do not go on Goodreads and add a solid release date to Sweep of the Blade, etc.
Wow. Thank you thank you, but maybe, you know, slip a vacation or two in there? Just a suggestion ?
My thoughts, exactly.
You’ve finished two series, kept up with two others (technically writing three at the same time) and raised two kids.
You’re way overdue for some down time. Maybe a couple of weeks in Hawaii? Or a cruise? Or maybe a cruise to Hawaii with a two week stay before flying back.
Or read a book. You had posted a review about Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox which I tried on your recommendation. I adored it I found out today that the second book is coming out on October 22nd!
Thanks for the heads-up! Just pre-ordered, am so excited!
I adored it too, and will pounce on the pre-order.
I can’t plan what I’m going to do this weekend, and you’re planning a year out.
Just out of curiosity, how much of that schedule is your choice and how much is contractual? I mean, do your contracts say you have to put 1 book in X series out this year, or that you have 2 or 3 years to release the book and you decide on the actual schedule?
Anything that’s Hidden Legacy, aside from Technomancer, is contractual. Some of this is not contractual but obligatory. Innkeeper always comes out around Christmas, for example.
And I am very thankful that Innkeeper does come out in December because I look forward to buying the ebook, the paperback and the audiobook of the Innkeeper story as a Christmas present to myself. I hope Renee has apportioned time in her schedule to record Maud’s adventures for our listening pleasure.
Thankyou for this heads up on what is planned, even if tentatively, for the next 12 plus months in Ilona Andrews world.
Yessssss? ?? happiness! ??Because your books make the best stocking stuffer gift to friends and family who I have yet to convert into bonified BDH members??…. especially when long travel is involved to get together each year. So i have company giggling in the corner (or hidding behind the desk ) like crazy eith my nose buried in a book!
Yes! The Christmas gift to myself is a done deal, thank you! And I’m so looking forward to the “technomancer”, er Hidden Legacy novella, too. YEA, it’s good to be a member of the BDH. And new additions to both HL and IM series!!!! (squeal) And then mention of unnamed, mysterious new projects. Be still my heart. It will be a very good year.
Wow – that is quite the schedule. Thank you for letting us know. Looking forward to everything when it comes out. unnamed projects, super secret projects, known projects … very exciting. Hope your puppy is better.
This. Thank you. How is the puppy?
Thanks so much for the glimpse into your possible future reality – so exciting to know these projects are (or will be eventually, regardless of timeline) in the works!
Your writing is like a fantastic chocolate cake. Fans just crave it. Maybe if you all wrote some crappy stories, sorta like a burnt chocolate cake, we would not devour it so much.. well maybe not..
Pretty much what she said. If you didn’t write what is basically literary crack, we wouldn’t be so insatiable.
“BIBLIOCRACK” best word ever!
Agreed. I try so hard to find other authors so I’m not so dependent on the authorlords, but it’s just not the same.
I’ve found some new ones here thanks to Ilona and the Horde, so I’ll read their books, but then I get to the end and have to wait a year usually for their next book. The Authorlords spoil us with multiple releases during the year.
Deliriously happy!
My only fear is that now certain people will see your tentative, maybe, possibly-could-happen planning as SET IN STONE FROM ON HIGH and then bitch, moan, carry on, and whine profusely when stuff happens and the plan gets amended.
My personal plan is to remain grateful for anything that y’all write.
This, so much this.
Agree.
And thank you! You spoil us.?
ITA. Take a vacation somewhere in there. Or just some mental health days.
What she said! You guys are amazing!!!
Amen. Thank you, Authorlords and Brandi.
Ditto, and ditto as well on the comments reccommending you vacation and take more time for yourselves. Your loyal Horde always patiently (or quietly paces) awaits whatever your timing brings forth.
I will also remain grateful for anything you put forth at whatever schedule works for you. This is what you get for not only being such fantastic authors, but for also making yourselves so available to us. We can’t get enough and some feel comfortable enough to nag. Maybe we should be the Author Devouring Hord instead?
So we shouldn’t have any complaints from readers now that they know what/when. Right??
Super ambitious year, y’all! Hope you’re getting some good mental health days in there too.
Noooo, that would make us cannibals….let’s stick with devouring books
There’s going to be a Hidden Legacy #4 – YAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!
I find it a bit funny (as in humorously curious) that Hidden Legacy has such a delayed release plan. Seems like they really worry about crowding those books. I’m glad there’s a plan for some other fun stuff in between because insatiable is right
Wow! This is intense, and makes me feel like I write SUPER slow. Then again…you two have been doing this longer than me…and it’s two of you…so I’ll just use that to make me feel better…lol…if you can, try to take some time out for you two in there, whether it be vacation or staycatiom. I know us fans can be pretty shitty at times…with all the begging for sequels and wondering when the next book is coming…but (and I’m speaking for myself right now) I can wait as long as necessary for a new book….as long as my two fav authors are taken care of and as chill as possible. Mostly because I believe the happier you are, the better the book will be…but also because you deserve it
LOL I love you and I’m so sorry you get badgered. But I am grateful for a peek at the future and holy crud that’s a heckuva schedule. Y’all are amazing.
Also I do have to add the slight snide comment that ya know if you stopped dealing the crack then the crack fiends would leave you alone. But as long as you make and distribute crack they’re gonna hang around like greedy fiends for more. Lol But then I don’t want you to quit so I think I should stop and keep my mouth shut. Lol
????????????
I think you should have put vacation time on the schedule as well. If people know its coming maybe they won’t complain so much! Thank you so much for all your hard work!!!
They are going to events in London and Paris coming up (a year apart? Or is it months?). I hope y’all will take some time around those trips. Jet lag can be a pain.
Wow. That’s an ambitious year. Even with the tentative worked in there. I’m with the others, I hope there’s some down time in there. That should be contractual!
Thank you.

Insatiable says it.
I am furious that posting snippets gives you grief. Those snippets frequently seem to come at a personal low point such that they shine a little light into my life.
Thank you for continuing to provide so much to your fans. Whatever you publish, whenever you publish, it is much appreciated.
Insatiable? We are a Book Devouring Horde, after all, when has a Horde ever been satiated?
Love, love, love reading your work, but please take breaks, vacays, staycations, and refresh yourselves. I APPRECIATE your work and will be on standby for any pre-orders, as they post. ?
So so much lovely reading to look forward to!! But, please, don’t kill yourselves if life happens. And don’t let a few snarks get you down: I’m assuming you had to lock the comments from the tidal wave of protective support you’d be receiving from your true fans. Thanks for so much great reading to look forward to!!
So, I get to throw money in your direction in November and December. Neat.
How are your hands? Are they feeling better?
Thank you for the tentative schedule! I’m with the others saying you need some downtime as well, though.
Wow! Y’all are fantastic. I’m with so many others: don’t forget to take care of YOU. Downtime! rest, mindlessly game a bit, knit, etc.
We love you & want you to be healthy & happy for years to come.
Ps I’m so mad at the idiots who hassle you about snippets. I love snippets. ?
Pps let us know when we can pre order Maud, happy to throw some $$ your way.
Please take care of yourselves and many, many thanks ?
Wow. Just reading that makes me feel like I need a vacation… and I’m not doing any of the work! Thank you for letting us know your tentive plans. I hope you guys take some time for yourselves. You deserve it
I’d like to think it’s not that we are insatiable (yes, we are, totallyare. But can you blame us?) it is that our favorite series by our favorite author has concluded and the end, although we knew it was coming, is very much a shock. We are floundering around and it seems very unstable without something from thyou same author that always makes us laugh, cry, and generall just all around feel better. It’s like a death in the family.
Also 10 books is crazy and while I wish there were fifty more books, you picked a great time for the HEA. Thank you
Hurray, lots to look forward to! Exciting to see your tentative plans!
Just wanted to say how much sunshine your blog, books and innkeeper bring to my every day. I’m in a very stressful period of my life and your work just makes me smile and forget about it.
Thanks for all of your hard work.
Please don’t let a few overexcited and rude fans get to you. They don’t speak for the rest of us.
I adore your books. Eagerly wait for the release dates. Can’t thank you enough for all the stories and beautiful world that you build around it. I can escape from the reality just for a while.
P.S. I went through the list twice looking for something about Kate. I guess I need more time to cope..
IC#2 is in the Kate Universe. I cling to that as my coping method
You know what ! you are absolutely right.
Even after 10! Books the series left me wanting more.
#teamkateforever
I am tired from reading all that! You guys are amazing I am looking forward to the next year. I will mark in pencil the dates on my book budget calendar. I really don’t mind if dates get pushed or changed. Writers are human and life happens. Thank you!
I’m happy to throw you my money any time you publish anything. Bit I want you to have a great quality of life. Make sure you have decent holiday breaks. Make sure your hand heals – for you, not for the BDH.
Seeing as I read about 200 books a year, I’m adept at finding authors to read. Yes I want to read all yours, but not at the expense of your enjoyment of life and how you work.
That all sounds SO awesome – and ambitious! I think the thing I love most about your work is that you refuse to sacrifice the integrity of your craft – even in the face of whiny readers. Hold fast; write what you can when you can. You will always have an appreciative audience.
Lots of love coming for us; thank you! And don’t misplace the ban-hammer; idiots lurk everywhere.
I’ve put your tentative release dates on my “NEW BOOKS!!!” Google Calendar (I’m a nerd).
I am so excited!! But I really hope this is a healthy pace for you.
Yes, me too. Normally I do this in January so I can plan out my book budget for the year.
I Google calendar the following authors: Ilona Andrews, Patricia Briggs (both series), Jayne Castle, David Drake (Cinnabar series), Mercedes Lackey (Valdamar series), John Ringo (Special Circumstances series only as other is nightmare producing for me), JD Robb (Eve Dallas and Roake) Paige Tyler (wolves and xops not seals), David Weber (tree cats not the religious series)..
Yes, I too wondered about too ambitious 12 month plan. Manure happens just like life, death, illness and accidents.
But at least there is a game plan with concrete goals for authors to shoot for. May be not within 12 months but eventually.
Seanan Mcguire’s October Daye Night and Silence is out yesterday too. And do not forget to signup for Ippos King (newletter) updates too….

Your list looks a lot like my list. I am lazier than you. I have a “Hardcopy” list on Amazon. (I don’t buy them from Amazon, I just keep the list there. I go to local bookstores for the books.)
You can look at what is scheduled on Amazon by finding your genre and asking for a list by publication date. The list will start with the farthest from publication and get closer to the present as you go down the list.
When you see something you like, add it to a “coming soon” list.
Like I said – I’m lazy.
One comment from this peanut gallery. I do not see any vacation time in your master plan for next 12 months. I mean vacation time as in play time, rest and relaxation time, tiime off from wotk. I know short sighted, narcissitic people will complain but maybe if it is there in master plan…. Okay, some people will complain no matter what.
besides i remember reading that you two are flying across the pond, err, i mean internationally, twice next year which I do not see mentioned either. A good thing for international fans to have a chance to see/ hear you. To me travel is extremely tiring and stressful. It is much easier to be positively productive when there is balance between work and play.
That said, thank you for the heads up. I do enjoy reading Hidden Legacy series. Actually I enjoy all your writings.
Yes, tradionally you release Innkeeper around December as usually it is on my Christmas list as I prefer dead tree version. Well i can read anywhere on farm or in doctor/ hospital waiting ateas whereas electronic format requires technology and some places have technology disrupters.
I hope your hands are healing. Gordon has done well in his typist role from this perspective.
I do have a query. I have Curran POV ebook in my kindle library. Would it be possible for Gordon to bundle Rogan POVs into an ebook? I have first 2 Rogan POV segments saved but the third (where he went to meet the weather family) was eaten by a computer bug. If not, that is okay. Just thpught i would ask. I find Gordon’s POV stories to be story enriching. Besides I am sure Catalina’s SO POV as written by Gordon will be hilarious. If he can be cajoled into writing….
Thanks again for peek ahead and Thursday’s SOTB Innkeeper segment.
Hi Lynn T,
All the POVs are saved on this website, sometimes it just takes a little digging. Here’s the one you’re looking for:
https://ilona-andrews.com/rogan-pov-from-wildfire-part-1/
Enjoy ~
Thanks for this
And I honestly can’t believe people that are complaining… Sometimes I can’t believe people would actually say stupid stuff like that :/
Yeeeeeeeeeess I am overjoyed that Technomancer will be on sale, as I have been dying to know what happens next. Also, like many people I bought Tsumiko and enjoyed it, so thank you. =)
Lord Have Mercy! That’s a big schedule! You guys are incredably professional and beyond.
I’m giddy already for what’s to come because you always deliver such amazing stories.
I wish good work and also a well deserved rest
xoxoxoxoxoxxo
Sorry you had to post your yearly schedule like that. Just reviewing the events of this year’s schedule and what y’all went through, would have discouraged me from asking.
<— is totally insatiable. I will never deny that. I have loved pretty much every single thing you folks have published and I always hope for more. Since many authors typically publish about 1 book a year, I feel that any authors that put out more than one thing a year are to be praised as deities. Seriously. You published 4 books this year (IC#1, KD#10, HL#3.5, IK#4), I have nothing but respect for your work ethic and ability to produce quality work in that amount of time. You could plan for ONE book next year and I would be content, but already your schedule shows 3-5 releases! that's insane and AWESOME.
Sleep. Sleep and food should be scheduled as well.
I look forward to engrossing myself in anything you give us. Thank you.
Thank you for posting an update. Make sure to include time for yourselves. I have a list of my favorite authors and their release dates, it is always fun to update.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you…don’t forget to take care of you!!!!… thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you..
Amazing. Happy dance. You. Amazing.
I don’t think its fair to group us all in the ‘insatiable’ category. I check your blog every few weeks for the funny random and life things you post, the snippets and Innkeeper installments are just a bonus but nothing that I ever expect or demand to get.
I hope you know that there are many of us that appreciate everything you post and would still happily check your blog even if you only posted about cheese or your new anime show!
Wishing you the best end of summer!
<3
So exciting! Thank you for sharing your plans – it fascinates me how authors organize their and I love seeing the process.
I saw the word “Technomancer” and my mind went “Squeeeee!”
We can wait for releases you know, we aren’t going anywhere, and those people who keep harping at you should just shush it. Remember to take care of yourselves first, and the rest will take care of themselves.
All I’m going to say is yikes and take care of yourselves in that crazy schedule.
Maybe you should schedule a vacation and post it with your releases. Then nobody could truthfully say “I didn’t know you were on a camping trip and didn’t have anyway to post your serial-of-the-future.” (I am guessing some ungrateful idiot would, it just would not be true. We could mock them and heap insults on their heads and save you the trouble.)
Hopefully,everyone at you home is doing well – or at least better. (Get well, Sookie.)
These tiny bits of your life that you occasionally let us see are always fascinating.Thank you yet again.
OMG OMG OMGGGG Thank you so much!! I’m delighted just by reading those planning???
Note to self: Ok, add release times to calendar for Ilona Andrews as well as Nora Roberts, Patricia Briggs, Joss Whedon’s comic books, Jim Butcher, and Courtney Milan.
Thanks for adding new stuff to my list
I read a LOT and my list of “wish they’d write faster” authors is growing… Now I just have to convince the library to buy more fantasy books… also more books by non-fiction authors that aren’t going to be assigned in HS, like Bruce Schneier and Bob Woodward.
Looking forward to your new work, but I echo the “take a vacation” crowd. Consider your hands as a symptom and slow down a bit – or a lot. (If you ignore such a clear sign to sloiw down, the next one could be more dramatic.)
Your audience isn’t going anywhere. Your writing will be even better if you’re not tired or bored.
I hate to say this, since I have really enjoyed the suspense of a serial novel, but have you considered ditching the freebies and social media? Save your hands for higher paying work and for fun.

I love having such frequent and transparent access to your writing projects, but it seems like a massive workload with such little time for enjoying the fruits of your labor. I would hope your fans would understand that authors/people in general need to rest to invest in their long-term happiness and productivity.
+1

I will add, you are so generous, maybe it would be a good idea to be a bit generous to yourselves for once, and take some time just for you. I mean doing absolutely NOTHING, except relaxing, having fun, and spending time alone together (doing something other than writing), and/or spending time with family. Let some insensitive people beg and whine all they want. They will live. You guys might end up with burn out, or Ilona your hands might end up being damaged to the point you can’t do ANYTHING with them, and for an extended period of time. Take care of what you are contractually obligated to, but the rest can take a break on the back burner for a short while so that you guys have a chance to just stop, relax, and let yourselves recharge. Although I Love all of your works, can’t wait for each new installment of SOTB, and can’t wait for the release of each new book, none of that matters at all if accomplishing all of those things, in such short order, while dealing with all the delightful little surprises life throws at us from time to time, takes a bad toll on you, mentally, emotionally, physically, or any combination of the three. I am not trying to be a nag, or tell you how to live your life, or run your business. I am just honesty concerned about you guys. You have had a lot to deal with this year, and not everyone can be a superhero, with an endless supply of energy.
I congratulate you on all of your accomplishments, and well earned recognition. I hope Sookie is much, much better!! Thank you for always keeping us so up to date on what is going on (even when it really is none of our business!).?
Busy weekend. Chef at big event for 8 hrs tonight. Major social event tomorrow I’m forcing myself to go to. Need to prep everything from clothes to animals. Sick dog woke me up 5 times last night. Opening vet visit is $400. Sigh. Thank you team. Will be cheerfully re reading snippets and treats all weekend. Now back to bed. koo
Thanks for the update and information. Love Everything y’all do, but I’m in complete agreement with Kathleen. Don’t burn yourself out or inflict mental emotional & physical pain upon yourselves! We will be here when your rested. Your both freakin’ AWESOME!
—sorry -that’s me! Lol.
Fun to see what’s in the works!! Honestly I feel dumb for not understanding that a book tour is more of a grind than a shower the authors with champagne and praise.
I’m not an author though!! Lol hope this coming 12 months treats you and family and furry family well!!
Thanks for the schedule, tentative or not! Hope you put a little r&r in there!!
Thanks for the update. It all sounds great. Looking forward to your new work as you feel able to get it done. Please do not injure your hands again or rush the recovery. Please do not have a stroke or develop high blood pressure from the stress to satisfy the crowd of fans. Feel free to recommend some other books if you need to toss the sharks a hunk of meat. That “Jane Doe” suggestion was excellent, and I’m glad to see Jeaniene Frost has a new book. Take care.
You, “might,” have, “Sweep of the Blade,” out in time to buy for Christmas gifts,,, that would be wonderful.
Insert R & R in many places so you can avoid stress.
Thank you for the schedule.
I’d just like to say thank you; you share yourselves and your craft so generously with your readers and ask very little in return thank you!
Wish you would schedule R&R time…
We are insatiable, cause hello, BDH, but we kinda understand that authorlords needs me time too.
About that goodreads thing… it did bring us the Iron and Magic series… just saying… have a good weekend!
I’m a little sorry about the insatiable need to read and re-read your work, but it wouldn’t be an issue if you sucked even the tiniest bit. However, you don’t suck at all and every book gets better than the one before. You even managed to make me hate and then forgive Hugh. I am super sorry about the entitled horses’ behinds. I wish there was something the rest of the BDH could do. Since there isn’t please write what and when you want with plenty of time included to take care of yourselves, your kids, your friends and family, and the fur babies. I can assure you if you write it this member of the BDH will buy it whenever it comes out.

Oops
Cute kitty!
I smell preorders. I love your books! Have ever since I stumbled across the 2nd Jim and Dali novella. After devouring it I immediately bought Kate books 1 and 2. The “psych” at the end drove me slightly batty and I immediately ordered 3 and 4 etc. I appreciate you taking the time to update your admiring horde.
Yay!!! Sweep of the Blade release date! It has been blooming hard seeing each installment go by and NOT reading them, but I know myself and resisted for my own mental health (damn you OCD Autistic self). I have anxiety with the series books I love anyway, never could even manage comics as a kid, serialisations are out of my comfort zone for huge. We recently got Netflix and it’s stressing me the ‘eff out all these cancelled shows. I need resolution! Or at least the possibility of it!! Why are all those series’ ending on cliffhangers just to be cancelled!!!!!
I love your turns of phrase and one-liners. Thank you for such sharp and excellent writing; it’s uplifting, refreshing, gripping, often surprisingly funny (got to love that black humour) and is a joy to re-read. It’s particularly welcome at a time when the real world is frequently depressing and divisive.
+1
Oh, yes that humor. In reading Kate, I was in the middle of an intense scene and came across a direct quote from the blog. Knowing the context of the quote, had me laughing out loud. I still think it is so funny. I so appreciate the humor. I believe humor is part of what keeps us healthy. Keep on cracking yourselves up.
Thank you for that you do, have done and will do. I am looking forward to everything you plan to publish whenever you get around to it.

“You guys are insatiable.”
You are not wrong! Your excellent writing created the Book Devouring Hoard.
I can and will find something else to read until Diamond Fire arrives but I love having a tentative schedule of what fun adventures await us. Thanks.
Naturally eaten up with curiosity about the unnamed project which cannot be discussed.
An amazing schedule! Hope there’s some R&R in there too. The Horde I’m sure can balance its eager appreciation with patience.
I’m gonna go through Kate’s universe withdrawals! Thanks for being awesome authors!
I totally understand your reasoning, but this possibility makes me sad.
“Jan Edit and prepare Technomancer Hidden Legacy novella for sale (note to self: don’t post anymore fun snippets or be bugged mercilessly.)”
It was a joke.
Ilona and Gordon thank you for all you do!
I loved MT. I’m rereading the series again and was wondering if you might ever, at some point in the distant future, cuz I know you’re busy, do a prequel of Roland and Erra as the good guys, when they were young. I’m reading MB and came to the point where Barabas and Kate are discussing where her father’s first kingdom was, and it seemed like a good story. I know you guys are super busy. It was just a thought.
I appreciate the time line. But I hope you have some down time scheduled somewhere in there too!
Will Renee Raudman be narrating the Sweep of the blade, for audible books? I hear her voice either way when I read them, (she’s amazing) I was just wondering.
Also thank you for your Kate Daniels series. I’ve loved it since the first book. To be fair I love all your books, and I look forward to reading all the future ones as well.
Good luck with your busy year ahead, don’t forget get to pencil in a day off.
We
you both. And apologize for our addict like behavior in regards to your amazing stories. Your worlds are so easy to slip into and the characters grab you by the heartstrings to drag you along for the ride. The stories are so magical, sometimes people forget to use common sense or common decency. (Bad BDH person. No cookie.) Thank you for not letting the ignorant affect your awesomeness.
I LOVE it!! ???”No cookie” indeed!!?
I am in awe of how much you can accomplish. I consider myself super productive when keeping things at home tidy for a week!
Like the rest of the BDH, I thank you for your tireless efforts and I am hopeful that a vacation or two or three can be scheduled amongst all the work.
Thanks again ♥️
+1. Omg. You can write a full length book in 4 months. Dang your good.
Wow. You are both amazing. Don’t forget to find some balance in your life among those many hours of writing.
Its always a fine balance between the angel and ravenous demon. One points out that you wouldn’t be a favorite author if you rushed, that you people too, and that we can wait. The other just desires more of your brilliance. Enjoy your break, and the horde will await. Just don’t do a George Martin on us k?
Does anyone here read the Ben Aaronovitch Hidden Rivers series ? I really enjoy them especially the London slang and history.
Yes I do, but I’m pacing myself so am only up to book 4 so far

I just found this site and would hate for it to stop. That said, if you and the family need a break? That’s what matters. I lost my Dad, then Mom, and then my uncle/mentor. I not once thought I should work more or harder. All I thought is I am truly an orphan. Now I think how grateful I am for my now husbad and friends. We love your writings and ideas, what you show us after auto correct and editing. Family know and love the true, no re read you.
