  3. Thank you so much. You have been very good to us, your fans, despite our batshit insane antics. I wish you both and your family the very best in the coming year. Merry Christmas from Singapore! <3

  7. Horay! Thank you, and happy holidays to you and your family as well. Definitely looking forward to reading more goodness from you guys in the new year!

  8. You guys are the most awesome awesomeness of all awesomedome!

    Muchas gracias and mercy beaucoup and happy new year!!!

  13. Merry Christmas to you and yours and all those you have extended a helping hand to this year. Hopefully there will be less drama in the coming New year for everyone involved. Roll on 2014!

  14. You guys give us so much of yourselves. I hope, in some small way, you feel like we give something back to you. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and the best of all possibilities to you and the family!!! Thank you very much!!!

  15. Thanks for sharing all your hard work for our enjoyment. It makes the year a little brighter. Merry Christmas!

  18. Merry Christmas or other holiday.

    Part of the reason I’ve gotten through this year at all is because of your books. Being able to escape into them temporarily allowed me the ‘me’ space to cope with a lot of crazy in my ‘real’ world. Without Kate, Curran, Dina, and the others I’m not sure if I would have come through the past 12 months as sane as I sort of did. Just before Magic Breaks was released, I broke too. And to put myself back together again, I took a week and did nothing but read your books. The entire Edge series, Kate and Curran and the Innkeeper works on your website. By the time I’d finished, I was healed enough to actually cope with the process of getting better.

    Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.

    Reading your blog, I recognise you get some flack from us readers and fans. I wanted you to know, you make a difference in our worlds. Without your books and website the world would be a lot darker place.

    Have a nice holiday. And an amazing new year.

    Nicole

One of them got a TMNT Leonardo as a present and he was so excited and kept saying “I love my present!” When I saw your post and opened the gift box I felt exactly like my 4 year old. Except I even got teary eyed.
    THANK YOU!!! “I LOVE MY PRESENT!”

  206. Eeeekkk you guys are the best authors in the whole wide world. Thank you very much and Merry Christmas to you and your family!

  212. Thank you very much, Gordon and Ilona, for this awesome gift. Best wishes to you two and your girls for 2014.

  217. Thank you so much for the story collection – I enjoyed it so much!! You add some happiness to my (very trying) life – have yet to read anything you’ve written that I didn’t love. Best wishes for a wonderful 2014!

  226. Reading them all again but in this fashion was nothing short of amazing. Felt like an old favorite novel I just found under my bed and reread but it just got BETTER.

  231. THANK YOU!!! I have Gunmetal Magic to read and then I’ve read all your stuff! I LOVE IT and I now have Curran’s POV’s I can read! You rock! I’m laid up in bed for a few days, had surgery and I’m catching up on some reading! Perfect timing! THANKS!

  232. Thank you so much. And you guys wonder why we’d do anything for you. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and will have a safe New Year. 🙂

  236. I didn’t know that this would be free, thank you so much!! I love you guys and I hope you had a fantastic Christmas, and I wish you a happy New Year!

  241. Thanks for the gift, Feliz Navidad .

    Ps. I read the correction to the file if you are trying to say little assassin in Spanish the correct pronunciation would be “La peque(alt 164)ña asesina” in the female form, in the male form would be “El pequeño asesino”

  243. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and wishing you and your family a happy and healthy new year!

  244. Have just got back from a very happy holiday (surprising, considering it was an extended family get together and they’re usually like the diplomatic lull between WWI and WWII) and am now very much looking forward to the new year.

    Hope you all had just as much a great time as I did ^^.

    Oh man, I cannot believe there was a snippet that was put up and taken down again before I even had a chance to read it.

    If I promise to relentlessly and outrageously abuse anyone who dares to nitpick, is it just possibile that you might change your mind and re-post that earlier snippet that you un-posted?

  245. Thank you so much for this! Your generosity towards your fans is amazing. I really hope you had a wonderful holiday season, and that the editing of the next Kate book goes well.

    My husband is currently reading the Kate books for the first time, and it’s so exciting to hear his opinions as he finishes each new book.

  246. Thanks so much for the collection (and thanks to those who helped edit it)! I just finished reading Magic Rises and was missing my Kate Daniels/Curran fix.

  248. Thank y’all so much!!!!!! I love this series and love getting to read Currans POV!!!! I hope y’all had a wonderful Christmas and have a happy and blessed new year!!

    I do not want to sound ungrateful because I am grateful for anything y’all want to give us to read, but if / when y’all decide to right another Curran’s POV that can include magic rises in it can we please find out what Currans thoughts were when he saw Kate and Hugh sparring in the courtyard?

    Thank y’all again!
    Natasha

  251. Thank you thank you thank you! I absolutely love reading these POV’s and find myself smiling and chuckling so many times. This is such a delightful treat and is beyond gracious! You guys are so much fun and I am glad to have discovered you. Happy Holidays~

  252. Thank you for the holiday gift! Even though I’ve read them individually it was so much fun to read them together. In fact they made me want to go back and re-read the whole series from the beginning.

  257. Wow! In the end I got a weblog from where I be capable of genuinely
    take helpful information regarding my study and knowledge.
