I still haven't read #9 and the last two Innkeeper books so it's not so bad for me. :)But I really don't like the serial idea for Hugh's book...their serials take ages to come out in audio.

Thanks! I second that! Anxious for Hugh's book/serial.

Yeah, me either, Lauren.
Normally I'm the same, but IA is like crack for me .... in that I tune in each week for the next update. Bwahhhhhh

Yep!!
LOL! I will try to do like I did for the last one - catch the full story when still free. Although I have to admit I bought the polished, published kindle edition when Ilona said it was a higher hotness rating. ;) Haven't read that one yet.
Yep, I always buy the kindle when released. They do some tweaking and add little bits :)

Wow, thanks Preethi!!!!!!It makes a bit more sense now :)
Sweet! Thanks for sharing, Preethi. I am thinking about re-reading BURN FOR ME before the release of the last two in May & July. I'll read the snippet after my re-read. :)
I'd read it before Steph, its all to do with the scene at the botanical gardens - just Rogan's thoughts running through his head.
Ah. Okay. Maybe I won't wait. We'll see :) Thanks!
Odd man out. I DNFed Magic Bleeds on page 249, there's only 260 pages.
O.o I couldn't have stopped right there ... I would've had to finish if I'd gotten that far in.
Correction, Magic Bleeds. I really tried, just can't do it.
That's too bad, but every book isn't for everyone. :)

I can read Innkeepers, but I couldn't read the final book in bits.Speaking of Innkeepers, this latest one Sweep of the Blade, is absolutely awesome. Dina's sister Maud, niece Helen & Arland on Arland's home world.
I'm loving this new innkeeper book too. Usually I wait for the final, but I cannot resist the weekly bits this time.
I've held off, but now that it's off to the publishers and all parts are posted, I'll combine the PDFs and read it.Oh, and, yeah, I'll definitely wait to read any parts of the final book until I have the whole kit and kaboodle in my hand. *finalbook*sob*

I wonder if they'll have some changes in the published version, as they did with the last one. I'll buy it either way, just curious if anyone's heard word of it.
I think they tweak them all before publishing. Sometimes the weeklys aren't even proofread yet.
What I'm doing is downloading all the chapters and building an epub that I'll read later. And I'll get later the published version too, of course.
I've already read the total published online, 3 or 4 times. It's just so good.
Yeah, I noticed that with the others, but wasn't sure if the published version would be "steamier" as she said for the last. ;)I'm definitely gonna read the online bit soon.
I haven't started SotB reading yet. I saw they've posted Chapter 7 Part 1. Could I ask a favor from anyone/someone who's reading along live? Could you please let me know once the end is reached? I wanna wait to read it all once all parts are posted, but before it's released. Thanks :DAlso, saw they've shared deets on Iron and Magic. According to this Blog Post, what started out as an April Fool's joke in 2015 is now happening. "We are proud to announce IRON AND MAGIC, the first book in Hugh d’Ambray series.
We have a release date.
6/26/18
We have a book blurb.
No day is ordinary in a world where Technology and Magic compete for supremacy…But no matter which force is winning, in the apocalypse, a sword will always work.
Hugh d’Ambray, Preceptor of the Iron Dogs, Warlord of the Builder of Towers, served only one man. Now his immortal, nearly omnipotent master has cast him aside. Hugh is a shadow of the warrior he was, but when he learns that the Iron Dogs, soldiers who would follow him anywhere, are being hunted down and murdered, he must make a choice: to fade away or to be the leader he was born to be. Hugh knows he must carve a new place for himself and his people, but they have no money, no shelter, and no food, and the necromancers are coming. Fast.Hopefully this isn't another April Fool's joke. ;)
Elara Harper is a creature who should not exist. Her enemies call her Abomination; her people call her White Lady. Tasked with their protection, she’s trapped between the magical heavyweights about to collide and plunge the state of Kentucky into a war that humans have no power to stop. Desperate to shield her people and their simple way of life, she would accept help from the devil himself—and Hugh d’Ambray might qualify.
Hugh needs a base, Elara needs soldiers. Both are infamous for betraying their allies, so how can they create a believable alliance to meet the challenge of their enemies?
As the prophet says: “It is better to marry than to burn.”
Hugh and Elara may do both.
They've also shared a very long excerpt here and are running a contest for a series name. Details: The contest will last until Wednesday 04/04/2018, and the winner will receive a signed copy of IRON AND MAGIC and will be mentioned in Acknowledgements for bragging rights. They can also choose to read an advance copy, but we are not doing paper for those, so it would be an ebook.
It's not a joke. They are really doing it. I'll let you know when the Innkeeper novella ends, Steph. I follow it weekly.
Yay! :DThanks, Sam, I appreciate it!
Yeah, I do too. Those cliffhangers are immense!!!!The winner of the contest was announced the other day.
LOL! Part of why I wanna wait until it's completed.Oh yeah? What's the name, did they say?
They did, I'll go have a look :)ETA: The Iron Covenant, the winner was the first to post this one on April 1 at 12.50pm, Joanne. So she got in really early.
Oh, I like that. Lucky ducky! Nice prize!
Can't help but read along too. I usually wait, but I'm really enjoying Maud and Helen... Makes my Fridays and its been too good to wait, that Maud's one tough chickie chick!
What about the zipline???? LOL
I think Helen is definitely a handful and will have Arland wrapped around her little finger in no time.
LOL too true!!
I LOVE Helen! Y'all are making it difficult to resist starting now, but NO, I'm gonna be strong and wait. LOL!
LOL
"Arland shrugged his massive shoulders..." swoon... how can you continue to resist?
LOL. Today's post was outstanding!!!!!
LOL! Stoooooop! 😛
OK Hugh's book Iron and Magic has a cover!!! It's due out 26 June 2018. Pre-orders are now up on Amazon around the world. It's both #9.5 in Kate Daniels & #1 in Iron Covenant series.
Wooohooooooo! :D
