Where have you been? Taking a breath. We are doing all the things we have been putting off. The house is getting cleaner with every day. We order out less and cook more. We have even gotten out of the house. Did you know you can go to this place called a restaurant, where you

On Happy Ever Afters and Beyond
Hi BDH, howl you doing? Mod R here, creeping it real. Happy Halloween to everyone celebrating! If you take a peak at the poll results from last Friday, we will start the new Ilona Andrews character series with Arabella and follow up with Roman (always the banshee, never the bride with him hehe). As your

New FrInnDays
Hi everyone, Mod R here. The blog has been a bit quiet this week, and that’s because a lot of surprises are brewing backstage. You will hopefully see all of them soon (like next month soon). But surprises take a lot of backstage admin tasks, and admin takes a lot of time out of writing,

Happy Birthday to Ruby Fever and Tapas Innkeeper Chronicles.
We have never before had to do two releases on the same day. This is a bit of a dilemma. Ahem. The Missing Tyrant I moved through the inn briskly, Beast dancing by my side. Caldenia hadn’t come down for dinner last night. She took it in her rooms instead, which she had almost never

Midjourney
I’m very tired of promotion, so today I bring you a new toy. It’s called Midjourney. It’s an AI that generates images based on prompts. You can refine the images and make variations of them. It is very simple to use. I played with it a little bit this morning and here are my images.

You know who has fire?
Back by popular demand from the Ryder shipping archives! Back when Blood Heir was a weekly serial, a certain Horde I know and love used to have shipping wars in the comment section over their favourite Julie match. Ilona wrote this tongue in cheek conversation amongst the various factions. Thank you to House Andrews for

The Craft Room Saga
It’s hot here in Texas. The upstairs AC has been out for a week. The replacement coil arrived Friday, but was defective. AC coils are sealed containing a bit of nitrogen. When the seal is broken, they make a whoosh sound as nitrogen escapes, which let’s you know the coil is good. There was no

Stitches and Floss Riches
I am going through Mod R’s helpful emails of blog topics, and one of them mentioned questions about crafting projects. Here is the obligatory crafting tax. What is this? It’s a mystery. Hehe. If you look in the close up above, you will see so many split stitches. Not the diagonal single strand one, but

More Love, Less Sleeping With The Fishes
Dear BDH, We love you thiiiiiiis much. Please stop offering to hire mafia hitmen. Also, please do not perform rituals cursing the unnamed paint contractors. That is not good for you. We had to lock the comments. Love, Your Hosts. In the end, it’s paint. Yes, it sucks, but it’s only paint. It can be

Fandom Tea Party
Horde, horde, horde. We really have to work on sneakiness. No sooner did I say to be cool and act like nothing happened, that I feel the Earth start to shake and a roaring squeee reaches me in London: KAAAAAAAAAAATE! I guess one could say you loved it hehe. Ilona was so right when she

The BDH Flotilla
In fandom lingo, shipping refers to wanting and advocating for a romantic relationship between two characters. Their names are typically meshed together into a portmanteau which becomes the name of the ship (think Brangelina). You will read things like “I ship these two!” and “I’m boarding that ship!” meaning the readers want to see the

Hi all, it’s Mod R here. How’s my favourite Horde keeping up? House Andrews are on a working vacation for the next two weeks. In order to sweeten the pill of mod posts, today I’m going to share most of the insider info I know about the books. Yes, I said most, a lady must
