Happy Friday.Ilona Andrews, #1 New York Times bestselling author, continues her spellbinding series set in the Hidden Legacy world where magic controls everything…except the hearts of those who wield it.Īs Prime magic users, Catalina Baylor and her sisters have extraordinary powers-powers their ruthless grandmother would love to control. Catalina can earn her family some protection working as deputy to the Warden of Texas, overseeing breaches of magic law in the state, but that has risks as well. It may just be the funniest and most ironic comet neowise photo taken, I nabbed it at at Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, Texas. ^_^Īnd since you share your art with us, I’m gonna share my art with you. Whether it’s Ryder, or Hidden Legacy, or some other work, knowing there’s more coming is a treat no matter how or when we get it. I can feel the genuine care and affection you have for us, general human compassion you have, and you not wanting to disappoint us, and also wanting to give us a little something to buoy our spirits. Don’t take this the wrong way, but you’re like a giant care bear. 🙂Īlso, with your recent letter about covid and the impact to your family, I’m surprised in retrospect we were getting any Ryder recently. Ryder is awesome, and much loved by me already, but it can wait. I would also say now is the time to help support businesses in the industry to help them weather the storm so they are there afterwards too. Obviously you need to prioritize contractual commitments.
