Electricity Ferrets Snippet
Warning: this post contains a Hidden Legacy world bribe snippet. Once upon a time, there was a viral ferret video… A certain Horde I know and love saw this and then decided their fellow BDH and House Andrews had to see it too. So they shared it. And they shared it some more.

Turkey, Cooking, and BDH questions
There will not be a traditional Thanksgiving post this year, because I'm not hosting a Thanksgiving. Instead, Kid 1 will be stepping in and hosting at her house, because her boyfriend's family will be joining us, and their house is a convenient midway point for everyone. This is, however, your

Entomologist/Biologist
Thank you, expert found! Dear BDH, I'm looking for an insect expert for some brainstorming regarding research for the book involving imaginary oversized insect monsters. If you are reading this and happen to be an entomologist who doesn't mind answering a few questions, please email me at

Characters: Stories and Descriptions
You do such a wonderful job describing people so that we can almost visually see them, the little details that just make a person come alive in our imaginations. How do you keep from everyone blending together? Do you search for images? Do you just imagine that person? Do you

It's Friday. How did that happen? We haven't had a snippet for a bit, so here is Augustine being impersonating an impressive business owner. Augustine’s office lay on the seventeenth floor. He’d chosen that location precisely because it was just under the top two floors. The eighteenth

Cover Sensibilities
It is Monday, and I'm armed with Russian Country tea and a list of BDH questions. The process of creating the Maggie cover through traditional publishing. How did everyone decide on the theme, covers, etc? Were there other drafts or ideas? Why is the UK cover slightly different in color? We

Bake on, Bake off
I'm happy to report that Ilona made it home yesterday in one piece and will be back to give us a full update and more good news after some well-deserved rest. We’re staying in the realm of food today, but moving on to more sensitive matters. The kind that can divide nations, friendships, and

Eat, Drink, and Be Married (or Not)
Ilona is undergoing her second cataract surgery today, so while we're crossing our fingers for her, you're stuck with me again. But I have a tasty morsel suggestion to mitigate that bitter pill! Before anyone starts getting ideas from the name of today’s recipe, let me clarify: I’m neither

Primes Hate This One Trick
Apparently, writing one little post warning the BDH about spam was enough to fling open the gates of chaos. For the past couple of weeks, the blog has become a magnet for unsolicited messages from every corner of the multiverse. My personal theory? The immortal wereferret who solves crimes in
