Event News: Raffle and Signing

#raffle, #freebooks, #fantasybooks, #nobledeadsaga, #nobledeadseries

Readers_ChoiceWe promised to open up the first Reader’s Choice Raffle by the 7th of this month; problems with international shipping of prizes for the last raffle caused us to pause amid a rather busy schedule.

The first RCR has been rescheduled for the first week of August. Right now, the Hendees are quite busy in outlining and drafting the final volume of the saga, S3B5: The Night Voice (1/2016). They have also recently finalized proof...

N.D. Author Services Opens for Business

#books, #ebooks, #authors

Logo_400Though announced today through some of this site’s social networks, we now follow up with something more official. N.D. Author Services (a.k.a. NDAS) is open for business after a few different people / groups prodded J.C. (and Barb) to offer up their diverse skills to other authors. 

NDAS is just starting out. For now it offers a slowly growing gallery of premade ebook covers (some of which could be adapted to print). Custom cover and EPUB services will follow...

Writer’s Corner: To Recap or Not to Recap?

#writerscorner, #writersadvice, #fantasybooks, #barbhendee

S3B3_usa_512That is the question.

Writer’s Corner: The Female Character, Kickass or Not?

#writerscorner, #nobledeadsaga, #nobledeadseries, #misttornwitches, #barbhendee

S1B1_usa_512My first professionally published novel hit the stands in January of 2003. As of today, between collaborations with JC and my own books, I have twenty novels in print available in bookstores.
