Patrick and Grace Draven are coming over for dinner tonight. I’m making fajitas. Quick, easy, and customizable. Need to write a big battle for Ruby Fever. Am very sleepy. Need to drink some coffee. Need to run an errand. ::Throws snippet. Runs off:: I found Linus in the motor pool. He had carved out a

Hidden Legacy Questions
I’m re-reading BFM and saw this: ”You are an animal mage.” They were so rare that I’d only met one before.” “Yes. I’m not a Prime so you shouldn’t worry about me summoning a pack of wild wolves to rip you to shreds.” Lie? So Nevada knew about Cornelius since then? I love this question

Tiny Snippet
No time for a blog post. :: Throws the snippet and runs away:: “It’s like talking to a wall,” Leon said.Arabella turned her head and hit him with a death glare. “Did you even try to negotiate?”“I did.”“How did that go? Walk me through it.”He shrugged. “I went in and met Michael. A somber looking

We Are Dumb
This weekend Gordon and I finally figured out Catalina’s character arc for Ruby Fever. We had written it in. We had grounded it in the previous novels. We had dove-tailed Alessandro’s conflict into hers. And neither of us had recognized that we had done all that, because in one of the pivotal scenes we had

Snippet from the Awful Book
The hill around the Compound was pitted with large holes, as if someone had tossed a handful of grenades about. A crushed metal wreck that might have once been a vehicle smoked slightly on one side of the road. On the other side, three other wrecks, wrinkled and smashed like discarded coke cans, formed a

Back to Life, Back to Reality…
Gordon and I spent 4 days at South Padre. We needed a break. This was our first South Padre and it was great. The water was clear, we had a calm day, a wave day, and a choppy day, and we both really enjoyed it. Huge thanks to Mod R for holding down the fort.

Baylor Family Tree
“Do we have a family chart for the Baylors and all their cousins? Even one with unnamed relatives/ unknown people listed? I have a really hard time when reading the books or the blog comments connecting everyone outside of the Grandmas, Mama P and three sisters.” T. Ok, strap in! 🚨 There are no spoilers

Unexpected Visitors
He was a very large man. It was an unfair description. There were other things one noted about him, things that were more concerning and carried greater weight. The way he moved, for example, with athletic grace. The way he sat, elegant, poised, relaxed, but conveying a coiled readiness. The razor-sharp intellect shining in his

Augustine Montgomery, Man of Mystery
Mod R: The Question Fairy has visited the BDH 😁. Yes, and apparently it’s all about Augustine. ::rolls up sleeves:: Why did you say Ruby Fever is terrible? I love this. I didn’t say it was terrible to read, I said it’s terrible to write. It will read just like any other Hidden Legacy novel.

The Tea Party (Snippet)
We read the comments on the last blog post and you guys are so supportive. Thank you so much. It was really touching. We brought you a short snippet today as a small thank you. Nobody said anything. We all just stared at [REDACTED] image for a long moment. “This is not good,” Connor said.

The Pleasure Is All Mine…
Running behind this morning. Here is a snippet. Got to run to work. The Keeper of Records turned to me. He was of average height, slim, and old. Time had wrinkled his brown skin, carving a roadmap of years around his eyes and mouth, and turned his hair white. He wore a brown three-piece suit
