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.
LOVE the tweets. Freakin’ hilarious.
Brilliant! I loved it. Thank you!
LMAO! This was so amazingly funny….really can’t wait ’till the 25th!
That was awesome!
Brilliant! Loved, Loved, Loved it
OMG I needed that laugh so much. I’ve been so fricking stressed lately. Thank you. You guys are awesome. By the way, I am not preordering a copy. I will find a way to get to a bookstore. When I preorder books they NEVER get here on time and take fricking forever, then I have to listen to everyone else talk about how great they are. Living out in the boonies sucks.
soo funny. now I’m sad cause i want a big ol hunky lion to get pissy with me….phhhhttthhh real life is so second rate after i read this blog
The book review referred to in this post can be read at the following address:
http://genregoroundreviews.blogspot.com/2010/04/magic-bleeds-ilona-andrews.html
I also saw very very suspicious links where I could (???) download Magic Bleeds:
(site url edited by me – Ilona)
Isn’t it illegal?
It’s a dud link. It says magic bleeds because it’s a common search phrase, but there is some sort of silliness in the file.
Sacha, please don’t link to e-pirates.
We lose enough sales to them as is.
BWAHAHA *snerks OJ out nose* owie.
LMAO! That’s awesome. Just awesome.
I just want to be a fly on the wall for these conversations… with my own mute button cause I’m laughing so hard!
LOL, that was amazing!! You guys are the best and this is why I love your books!
I can’t wait for Magic Bleeds to come out. If I can’t go to the bookstore or some place to get it that day I will send my family out for me… I am counting down the days till the 25th. Only 15 more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG!!! are you serious. that was freeking funny, it’s unbelievable. Are you guys commidians or something. that does it . THE KATE DANIELS SERIES ARE the best novels EVER!!
That was funny as hel!! 0_o
Very Very good!
Hey look, Ilona writes her own fanfic.
Dear Marlowe,
Sorry about the comment delay, but anything with the word fanfic in it is automatically filtered by the blog, since we can’t read it.
That was too funny! Reading that made my day. I love the books and can just imagine that conversation.
Read the Twitter II before this one. These are absolutely brilliant! Please post more!!!
I’ve seen a number of Harriet Klausner reviews, some of which made me wonder if she had actually finished the book. I’m not sure if Facebook, Twitter, etc. or similar social media websites even exist in the world you’ve created. I don’t remember anything like that being mentioned, but that could just be because Kate doesn’t use that kind of stuff, if it does exist. Or that Kate doesn’t deem it necessary to mention it if she does use it.
Love ALL the snippets I read. I don’t always like it when things are taken out so that they’re not spoiler-y, but I understand why it’s done and I appreciate it for those who hate spoilers xD. Thanks for another one (yes I know this is a belated post, but I still wanted to make it).
When you have a good laugh on Monday you know it will be a good week.
I absolutely love how Kate flies in the face of pretty much everything that Curran asks of her! Tension! I love it!! I also love how Curran never gives up. Wish there were more guys like that. Two such strong characters in love with each other makes for fantastic reading!
Okay, 7 months later than anybody else, but I just HAVE to comment on this one.
I have been following the blog/site (or whatever it is) for about a year, and at least once a week I find something new and hilarious.
Thank you so much for this “What if”.
I was laughing so hard, my face hurts.
This is way too funny! I just found your books this summer and your blog the other day, but this is great! I don’t get the impression that twittering would be in their world, but I can so see them interacting this way. I was barely able to not laugh out loud at work.
loooved this! just what i needed today – thank you so much
Whoaaaaa! You could make a collection of Twittering scenes, I´ll certainly buy that book too. Both parts have been very hilarious. Loved it, as always. Thank you.
that was hilarous
LMAO!!!!! Love it.
that was great! lmao!!
love it, can’t wait for Magic Slays.
How have I missed this part of the website! Very funny and very much Kate and Curran. I love this series and I’m very excited to see the many future books yet to come. I just went back and re-read the whole series over Christmas!
Hilarious the tweets are hysterically funny, I love how you guys never fail to make my day with all these extras
I need to get my eyes checked again. I could have sworn I read TESTICLE instead of tentacle. Still laughing.
I can’t get enough. Periodically when I need a laugh. I come back.
I know there is one more, but please…could we get more of these?
My favorite part
Kate PM to Jim: I kil u
Jim PM to Kate: Payback
Excellent! Love the what if tweets as much as the Curran POV. Thank you!!
HILarious!!! I just love when Kate and Curran get into arguments.
Hilar!!! So funny! I am sitting here LMAO and my husband is cutting me glances. Hilar!
That was so funny!:) Can’t wait for the next book!
Okay, I seriously LOL’d there! Is it May yet?????? Must have Magic Slays…
“Harriet Klausner” I doubt is a real person. “She” posts reviews on many, many books; all read like the book jacket and many have questioned her as to if she read the book at all.
It’s someone looking for points on Amazon and has no clue. Look at the profile.

This is absolutely brilliant! A little random on the side of the reviewer, but the result got me to laugh. It’s amazing how the smallest thing can spur something.
Natasha McNeely recently posted..Creating the World
LOL Thanks! That was too funny!
Holy shiznits. I laughed so hard I started coughing. Brilliant. So bloody brilliant. More tweets please?
Hi,
Your books are ridiculously awesome. You are not permitted to stop writing them. Ever. Just so we are clear.
omg I just saw this now, it’s awesome! （＾ω＾）
I’m suffering some slight Kate/Curran withdrawals so I’m greedily snatching up these fun tidbits on your site hehehe.
And after reading Magic Slays, Twitter Part II makes so much more sense! XD
Who needs crunches when you have these hilarious tweets to help build abs? ;]
totally funny i can actually see it.
liked lots.
”Kate, PM to Curran: I’ll bring sushi to meeting. Love u, bye.”
Brilliant!! PMSL!!
LOVE IT!!
I super love their relationship :>
HAHAHAHA…..Loved it!!!!!
To Ilona: I normally do not buy any books because of easy accessibility from the Library but let me tell you that I have all your series of Kate Daniels. The freaky thing is that I have read these books 20 plus times and I think to the end of my days will probably memorized them word for word by then. I would carry one of them to read everywhere like a purse. It became a necessity to have it on hand-like breathing…Love your books to distraction and wish that your magic fingers will be blessed with more books in all the futures to come. Bless you! From your devoted admirer
Very funny and clever. I can just see that happening.
Until Kate loses her Iphone because it walked away during a strong magic phase and Curran smashed his during one his “conversations” with Kate.
