Writing comes from the same place as play. We spared some characters in Magic Triumphs so they could return in the sequel. We have chunks of the first book plotted. The world is even more warped by magic, Conlan is 10, Jim is ready to retire, and the battle for the Pack is about to start. We had definite plans for a continuation of the storyline, picking it up with Julie as the main character roughly 8 years after the events of Magic Triumphs. She isn’t sure she would be willing to put up with all the venom. It actually resulted in Brandi having second thoughts about publishing her own work.

The other variation of the hatemail is, “I am just not interested in Julie as a character and I don’t think she could carry a book.” Right, because despite writing 12 books set in this world, all of which succeeded in being entertaining, we will lose all of ability to tell a compelling story just because Julie is the main character. They literally hate her and want her to die. Long story short, we get Julie hatemail. And to the Authorlords, I'm so so sorry they made you feel this way. I just want to say that it's a damn shame that some people have made the authors feel this bad over a character. I can't wrap my head around this and I had actually written a rather long rant over it. Some of us love all the characters because the writing/world building/authors are so good and we would have loved a Julie spinoff. So I just found out that we are not getting a Julie/Erra/Derek spinoff (at this point in time) because of the amount of hate mail Ilona Andrews receives over Julie. On here just as a place holder, will move it when the book is created on GR officially but we have a snippet for ROMAN!! And what a snippet it is! YAY! It’s just a fun scene, written because so many of you wanted to see the old favorites.' Hopefully it will give you a break from current events for a few minutes. 'Today we bring you a fan service snippet. And as we have no fixed date for this one yet. On here as this isn't part of a book where I can add it as updates. Mystery snippet! I believe it's either here or Aurelia 2.Īll Ryder/Julie snippets moved to it's proper book placement on GR:īut kept here also in the spoiler just in case it all gets deleted.
