Lilian, on Facebook: But more importantly, why isn’t it the 25th yet?!?!?!?
Gordon: cause it aint yet. We’ve got to get all gussied up for the signing. If we had it today we would scare away the fans. Plus Ilona is not completely nuts yet, so it can’t be release week.
I am not nuts. I’ve been so good. I haven’t been trawling for reviews, I haven’t gotten into any debates, except for Kindle thing, and I dropped that because nobody is listening to anything I have to say, I haven’t had any weird panicky moments of total fail.
I get no credit.
From Harriet Klausner review:
Kate Daniels pays her lost bet to the Beast Lord Curran with a meal she prepares. However, when he fails to collect, Kate becomes outraged by his affront and humiliated as she wanted to see him. Fuming, she declares war on Curran; leading to not talking, emailing or twittering one another.
While the review is very flattering, I’m a little puzzled by the twittering comment. This has stayed with me for a few days, so I present to you the What-If Kate Daniels Twitter.
Jim: 15 minutes to Pack/People meeting.
Kate: I’ll be late.
Jim: Why?
Kate: I’ve got to do something.
a minute later
Curran: What do you mean you’ll be late? Where r you?
Kate: I’ll be right there, just start without me.
Curran: The meeting’s been set over a month in advance. Where r you?
Kate: I said, I’ll be right there.
Curran: Where. Are. You?
Kate: Don’t take that tone of voice with me, I don’t appreciate it.
Curran: Would you just tell me where you are?
Kate: Corner of manticore and white.
Curran: Half an hour away. Why am I not surprised. What are you doing there?
Kate: I’ve got to do something. I don’t appreciate being interrogated.
Jim: There is a giant armored octopus on the corner of manticore and white.
Curran: What?
Jim: It’s on TV.
Kate, PM to Jim: I kil u.
Jim, PM to Kate: Payback.
Curran: I can see you on the news. Kate, answer your phone.
Curran: Answer your phone, damn it.
Curran, PM to Kate: Don’t even think about it.
Kate, PM to Curran: I’ll bring sushi to meeting. Love u, bye.
Jim: I think she just dropped her I-phone.
Curran, PM to Kate: God fucking damn it.
Jim: That was a nice cut on his tentacle. Should I hold the meeting?
Curran: No, start without me. I’ll be right back.
LMAO. LOoOOOOOooooVE this! Thank you for the laughs.
Thank you for this post. It caused a laughing fit that was loud and long enough to make my mom wonder if I was choking on something. Now me family thinks I’m nuts (well, more nuts than usual). I just couldn’t stop laughing.
This totally made my day. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing!
My sympathies on the Kindle issue.
Can’t wait for release day!
AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Absolute perfection! I haven’t laughed that hard in ages….. Thanks for the great visuals!
so my first thought was Kate loves him loves him??? or is she being cheeky? has she figured out what she feels yet? I AM DYING TO READ!!!!
ah hem. Yes, well. Wonderful post and I loved the asides to Jim, so snarky, ::squee::
OMG…my stomach hurts from laughing too hard. Absolutely, utterly priceless!!!!!!!
Ahh I missed the Kindle debate as well, but saw it on the forums. I’m a Nook user and finding eBooks on release date has been an issue w/ BN.com. Anyways, I noticed that Magic Bleeds is FINALLY available for pre-order as an eBook! Yippee! Nook/other e-reader owners, I believe you can always purchase Kindle eBooks and convert it to be read on your device.
Thank you for the “what if KD tweets!”
Really? You have had problems finding new books at B&N? I’ve never had any issues since I got my nook. I did, however, find that B&N frequently screws up the spelling of an authors name. So I usually try multiple different ways to search before giving up on them.
I have been using iBooks on my new iPad and everything has come out on time. I am PRAYING that they don’t switch things up and take Magic Bleeds away from me on the 25th. I want to start reading at six in the morning (I live in Denmark) and not stop until I’ve finished, going to the bookstore will crimp my style!
Hi! Most of the books I’m looking for are available on BN.com, but when Silver Borne was first released, BN was not offering a digital version on release day. It came a few days to a week later. Another book that was not available on release day was Anne Bishop’s latest book. The same went for Magic Bleeds. The eBook was not available for pre-order, only a paperback. Only semi-recently did it show up. Maybe BN is finally listening to the many complaints left by the buyers!
Oh my god, that was WAY awesome!! xD I totally loved it! And now you make me yearn for the new book so much worse. I was doing so good!
AWESOME twitter!!! LOL!!!
Hilarious! Kate should get more credit- freshly made octopus sushi is expensive!
As others have commented, I’ve always found Klausner’s reviews to be a bit “off”. I’ve also found them to be suspiciously similar to the sypnopsis’ or other reviews already posted. That could just be me though…
OMG that was great! Of course I now wish it was the 25th even more…..Ugh!
you have just made my day, that was wicked! I have pre ordered my book and i totally wish i could go into a deep sleep until the 25th so i don’t have to feel the heavy weight of waiting! Your the best!
I totally agree with denisetwin. I was also thinking “She LOVES him! Yes!” That was totally awesome. Thank you for posting it. Can’t wait for the 25th. Eeeeeeeeee (this is a squeal of delight and anticipation). Maybe I should take the next day off so I can sit and read the whole day.
Holy Cow that was freaking hysterical. Thanks for that. I needed a good laugh today
Kate twittering.. Gah!
and all I could think of was Ahkmed… I Kill you!!!
Thanks ! Your writing alway bring a chuckle to my heart ! I love it.
O. M. G. That was the most amazing thing EVER! Thank you thank you thank you!
Awesome, just awesome
Oh gawd! I was laughing so hard, I woke my husband up from his nap on the coach in the living room! He had to get up and read this to see what was so funny!
What a treat. Laughing is good for the soul; Kate and Curran (and Jim) are a hoot!
haha best birthday treat yet. thanks laughing my bottom off. thank you
That was the roxor! Thank you!
I’ve pre-ordered my copy of Magic Bleeds, and am desperate for some Kate and Curran action. I’m almost hoping I get the book early, with the 25th here in Oz being the 24th (essentially) in the US. *fingers, eyes, legs and arms crossed*
fabulous post! Thanks so much.
LMAO!!!!!! I would absolutely follow them! hahaha
I freaken loved this. I can’t wait for May 25th!!!!!
OMG!!!!!!
That totally rocks Ilona! Thanks for sharing.
I killed myself laughing and read it out to Mom and my siblings and we were all ROFL.
That is so amazing! Love the post! It’s so funny!!!
Cant wait for the 25th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!
Laughing out loud here. I’ve missed Kate. Now I have to obsess about what TIME I will get “Magic Bleeds” downloaded to my Kindle.
…I guess Curran and Kate kiss and make up and become a steady couple, then. ^_^
That was funny!
OMG! I was texted this morning saying something good was up, and I’ve had to wait all day for this, and it was well worth the wait! Congrats. I absolutely love it!
Told you so! May 25th needs to get here.
Hahaha! Loved the twitter! Was briefly confused by reading “hold” a meeting wrong (“Do you want me to hold [i.e. start?] the meeting?” “No, start without me..”) but got it after a brief consideration =)
Loved it, any bit of Kate and Curran that i can get, i’ll take it.
Thanks:)
Some fictional characters do have twitter (the webcomic QC’s characters, frex). If Kate, Jim, and Curran ever join in, let me know, b/c that was hilarious!
What was the kindle problem? I noticed that Kate 4 isn’t available on Kindle anymore and I’ve contacted customer service, but I got a lot of unhelpful responses. Looks like I’ll have to ship the book internationally, which means waiting. I don’t think I can wait any longer than the 25th.
Ahhh! Fa-bu-lous! Love it
Hilarious!! I just found out I have the 25th off, so I can now spend the day reading Kate (before my husband steels it to read it too)!
Oh, I love this! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! That was awesome!
Loving it!
LMAO! That was AWESOMENESS!!
As everyone else has said, Kate/Curran/Jim tweets = HI-LAR-I-TY
A year ago I was chomping at the bit for the next Kate book, but in the ensuing months have settled into patient waiting. But now that it’s the month that Magic Bleeds will come out, I am really counting down the days and plan to hop into Borders to get it on the 25th–can’t wait….
OMG, I LOVE IT!!!
Love it!! I have to say thank you to ilona and gordon for your blogs and the snippets!! they are what have been keeping me sane til Kate 4 is released! Wish i lived in America and not Australia so i could buy the book on the day of release instead of waiting for it to be shipped!! But boy oh boy will it be worth the wait!!
Very, very funny!
That was really great! Any news about Alpha Menz?
omg, just another reason for her to threaten his furry majesty! love it!
O_O … ahahahahahahahaha
Made me laugh! I really can’t wait..
hehehe.. this is hilarious!
Enjoying every moment of this!
Thanks Ilona! =)
I had to come back and re-read it and laugh again. Gosh you guys make me laugh
LMAO!!!!! I just adore you guys.
… I keep coming back to read it again! ROFL XD
