the whole 30 years shift thing has bothered me as well. I remember somewhere i think in the first book where 200 years ago tech was supposed to be firmly in place, so could be possible that the shift happened 30 years ago but magic started seeping back in before that? strong organizations coming about like the order in only 30 years would be possible but only if they had a strong knowledge base before hand, the us military academy would be a good example. The other thing i wondered about is how do people eat. Its mentioned that the forests reclaimed most outlying areas, specifically farms. It would seem that since the viability of 6 billions people being on earth is mostly dependant on some level of consistent technology and lots of cleared farm land, the kate daniels world would have suffered a severe decline in population.

I have a similar question. Kate professes confusion when she meets that really old vampire and there are other situations when age is a factor. I know magic has always existed, but what did the Pack do before magic got the upper hand? Did they hide themselves? I love this world very much, but darn my analytical mind. I have to tear things apart and analyze them. I just don’t see Mahon hiding who he is, or Aunt B.

I hope someone makes a map of this universe’s Atlanta. I’d do it if I can, I just don’t have the skills. haha

The worlds are so different that there is no comparison. Shall we say the author is also ripping off Kim Harrison and Stephanie Meyers?

i just finished the newest WoT book a few days ago, and re read the KD books last week, and there is nothing that could be considered similar, much less a rip off. Either this is reading comp fail, or someone has to engage the net nanny before smoking the funny stuff.

Gosh, WOT fan, I bet you’re pissed that Ilona Andrews uses vampires and werewolves in her stories, too . . . . .

Are you going to publish a time-line of Kate Daniels world anytime soon? You gave a hard date (2024) in Magic Strikes, so I’m guessing the series starts sometime in 2040. I’m very interested in Alternate Universe stories, and like to try and figure out when their world starts to seperate from ours.

Probably because people are used to the internet blinking out and computers crashing. The phone, on the other hand, works pretty much all the time. Note that most (all?) the phones we see being used are landlines since cell phones are just as flakey as computers.

The internet might seem magical, but it’s not reliable. So, magic comes and people are saying to themselves “well, darn, there goes the internet..” and so, there it goes.

I love your books! Are you going to release the audio books for Magic bleeds and any future titles in Australia? I have the first three on audio & would like the 4th one as well – great to listen to on the walk to work!

about electronics, i remember you explained something along the line that since people generally understand cars, they don’t work, and since they don’t understand telephones, they do work in magic, so my question is how come stuff like the internet dosent work? since its even less comprehensible the telephones

I kind of figured it was Roland, he was probably an owner of some c operation pre- first flare, and when the magic hit he had a plan of action on how to go about profiting from it.
