I received my copy of
a couple weeks ago and the Bingo Gods finally shined on me this week and I'm reading it. It's wonderful so far, but do you ever want to be able to give a character a nudge? (view spoiler) I'm not saying these two things are definitely connected, but I would think it would be worth investigating, just in case. It will be interesting to see how things develop from here.
... Do you ever want to be able to give a character a nudge? Yes!
Yep
Sometimes I want to slap a character upside the head, but I guess a nudge would be nicer lol.
LOL! Me too! I've come close to slinging my Kindle across the room ... thankfully my sane brain kept it from happening.

Love the Kate Daniels series and my fave authors never come to South Africa, let alone Zimbabwe.
Magic Stars out today! Can't wait to read about Derek and Julie!! :)
ETA: in the US, not sure about outside of the states...
:D Me too! (thanks to Sandra for the head's up on this one!)
Yep, its out and I've grabbed it!!
Got it too! Thx for the reminder and woot woot!!
Loved this. Anxious for more Derek & Julie!
http://www.ilona-andrews.com/voodoo-t...Did anyone see this post last week? What do you think? If it happens, could be cool but also not sure the characters will match the ones in my head.
I have not heard of Voodoo Television. I tried Googling it, but no info.
My first thought was .... posted last week .... April Fools .... but she posted it on March 26. So it may come to pass eventually ......Don't hold your breath!
I didn't even consider it could be an April Fools thing. Ever since the Wheel of Time episode aired and I've seen how bad things can be, I've been skeptical. Until there's news about it in production, not really expecting anything to happen. Just wanted to hear others' thoughts :)
Oooh. I read the snippet and liked it. Is this a new from them?
Yolanda, it was a thank you to all the people who gave them advice about moving to Florida. And yes it is new.
During Ilona & Gordon's Magic Binds release party in New Orleans, they mentioned:~ There's one more KD book : Finale Untitled in 2017
~ There will be more books in KD world featuring side characters
~ No real answers re: more Grey Wolf - Derek & Julie - installments :(
~ More Curran POVs to come : two more obligated contractually plus epilogue for #9
~ News avoid until after reading Magic Binds :
(view spoiler)
~ A Hugh book will be happening before conclusion of KD #10
~ They will be meeting with film people, but nothing is certain re: big or small screen Kate
Thank you! I bet it was a fun release party!!
Welcome! Wish I'd had a better spot in the room b/c I missed out on more stuff. :( It's always fun seeing them! They are an absolute riot - I highly recommend seeing them anytime you can! Gordon is always willing and ready to give out spoilers, but Ilona stops him before he can. LOL! :D
Oooohhhh, wish, wish, wish I'd been there!!!!
Thanks :) Got anything to add that I missed?
that is hilarious. I am loving Magic Binds but I am glad to hear they have an idea of how the series will end.
Steph wrote: "Thanks :) Got anything to add that I missed?"I think you captured it all! I was trying to remember what they mentioned about (spoiler for Magic Binds) (view spoiler)
Thanks! I didn't hear that. I felt like I missed a lot of the chatter what with everyone talking at once and Ilona's accent.
Wish I could have been there. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome :)
Accents are tricky things. That's one of the reasons I dislike audiobooks, my ear isn't good enough.
Hers is easier to understand when everyone is quiet so we can all hear her
Added tidbit about Hugh book:something about sex being darker/different type of sex than in KD books?
Don't ask me anything else, that's all I heard.
LOL
LOL ;) I remember that too. She did say something like that.
Well, in KD mostly you don't get the erotic stuff, so maybe they are going there with Hugh?
Maybe. She didn't elaborate.
Looks like they are going there with Hugh, she's said its going to be 18+.From their blog, all manner of stuff:-
"Erika Tsang liked Wildfire. (I think from Avon?)
She said she liked it a lot, especially the frying pan. The edits are coming back to us sometime later in the week, so the book is not a total gut, and we’ll do our best to stay on track for the announced release of August 2017.
Nancy Yost liked the proposal for a new book.
And that’s all we are saying about it. Still needs work.
Kisscon in Austin.
Avon is doing a Kisscon in Austin in March, specifically on March 23rd. Details are to come, but it will be held at Book People and they will have some White Hot ARCs. We’ll be there, together with people much cooler than us. They’re still hammering out the details. More on that later.
Hugh D’Ambray
Still happening. Gordon, for some odd reason, really wants to do it in the serial format, like the Innkeeper, but it is a very violent book with a lot of explicit sexual content, because that’s how Hugh rolls. If we do it, we’d have to lock it under an 18+ warning and we may limit readership.
Kate 10 Release Date
We are looking at May of 2018. Before you scream, here are the reasons why:
We’re pretty fried and we want to write a good book.
We have two new books coming out this year, which means a lot of additional publicity, and we want to be there for important things such as our youngest – hopefully – graduating from high school. Knocked on wood and spat over my shoulder just now. When your kid tells you, “I want to do IB,” and you say “Okay,” you don’t realize exactly how much work IB courses are. She has a 4.4 GPA but so much stress.
It takes about 6 months from turning in the first draft for the editorial process and printing process to happen, and the 2017 is already scheduled, so if we forced a book in at the end of the year, we’d be taking away marketing from someone else. A little more on the way it works: publishers have a monthly budget. They can only put out X number of releases per month, otherwise books conflict with each other and releases from other publishers. There is only so much retail space. It’s similar to the movie business. If there are too many similar movies, they eat into each other’s profits and publicity, because there are only so many movie screens. The first solid opening they have is May 2017, where we wouldn’t conflict with Patty or Anne Bishop. We don’t want to compete with other Ace authors. We also don;t want to compete with ourselves. With two books scheduled, adding a third means risking you guys getting sick of us.
But the main reason for the delay is that Kate and Curran have fundamentally changed. There was Kate, then Kate and Curran, and now there is Kate, Curran, and a baby. What powers will the baby have? How will he affect things? We have to figure all this out and it takes time for things to line up. We’ve got the first couple of baby scenes and they are funny, but nothing concrete yet.
Innkeeper
We don’t know if we’ll do a full length book this year. We may, however, do a couple of novellas, in the same format as always. So watch this space, we’ll have more for you as it develops. It’s kind of going to be a very sporadic year in terms of actual work, because of the added publicity demands, so Gordon and I are hoping for shorter projects. It’s easier to do a 25K novella than a 95K book. We used to be able to travel and then jump right back in, and now it’s been three days since the conference, and I’m still stuck on the name for Hugh’s new horse. Good news, Charlottians (?), we’ve wrecked Tryon Street. Now it’s just like Atlanta… "
:) Sad we have to wait till May 2018 for the next Kate, but rather have it done right!
I know. I can patiently wait. They have so many things going we will still get some good stories... the Hugh serial could be very interesting...
