Art by Luisa Preissler The front page has been updated with the appropriate art and excerpt. Luisa has captured the new Julie perfectly, and we are delighted with the cover. We have completed the first draft of BLOOD HEIR and sent it to our editor, so the book should come out on schedule, on January

The next Hidden Legacy book will be titled RUBY FEVER.
Clarification on Ryder
I had to remove the last post because I must not have explained things well, and there were some misunderstandings. To summarize, we’ve removed Ryder chapters because we are editing it and we would rather you forgot most of the old version. We are getting a whole new book! No. Ryder is undergoing a vigorous

Grand Master Damian Angevin, In His Own Words
Since you liked Damian so much, here is that scene in its entirety. 🙂 It will likely preface BLOOD HEIR to remind old readers about the events of Kate Daniels series and hopefully keep the newcomers from feeling lost. One month after the Battle of Atlanta Order of Merciful Aid The Citadel Wolf Trap, VA

Deadlines and Elections
Because the election is coming up and because we are buried in deadlines, we decided to pare down our social media. It’s a time suck. Gordon deactivated his Twitter account for the time being, and I’ve converted my account to only post blog post announcements some time ago. Our blog posts feed to Twitter and

The Cool Aunt
Today is the day everyone gets access to The Cool Aunt, a very short bonus story of Connor and Nevada’s baby being born. The honor system didn’t work very well, so the next time we will likely do a password wall. But there were over 1,000 printed copies sold, so you guys really helped the

Sunday at Home
In the middle of EMERALD BLAZE release, Gordon told me, “I booked a vacation.” I just sort of turned around and looked at him. COVID is going on, we are on a crushing deadline, we’d have to board seven animals… He said, “It’s a house on Santa Rosa beach. It has its own private access

Flowers and Candy
Avon sent us beautiful flowers. The card reads: Not long ago, Jeaniene Frost also sent me flowers with a card for secret reasons. Here is what that card. Also someone sent us Russian candy. Thank you so much. The candy was delicious! Dear BDH, please do not send candy! We have no self-control. We mean

Watermelon Bandits
Yesterday we ordered grocery delivery and the only slot we could get was between 8:00 and 9:00 pm. Normally, the grocery delivery person texts us right away after dropping our purchases off on the porch by the front door. This time the text took a little bit to arrive, maybe 10 minutes. I don’t know

Post-Release Brain
