Something unusual has happened. The ebook edition was planned for distribution to Kobo and B&N, but the trade paperback edition has now appeared at Barnes­and­Noble­.com. A new link has been added in the “Tales” page at Noble­Dead­.org. Look under “Tales Anthologies” in the right-side submenu of that page.

Some will quickly note that B&N has a slight discount (for now) on the trade paperback v...

Homeward, our first “anthology” of selected works from “T·N·D·S: Tales from the worlds of the Noble Dead Saga,” is now available as both trade paperback and ebook.

A surprising number of our Noble Dead fans asked when any of our “tales” might appear in a printed format. We have been listening, and we so hope you enjoy this volume. Of course we did not leave out those of you who prefer ebooks.

This volume contains 6 of t...

A lot has happened of late around the home and home office. With the next manuscript for the Noble Dead Saga out the door, we thought we would immediately get back to more in T·N·D·S: Tales from the world of the Noble Dead Saga.

Well, we did, sort of but not… and not as planned. Yes, more are coming, but other things popped up along the way. Good stuff for us, and maybe one good thing for some of you.

Our daugh...

We’ve turned in the latest manuscript for the next to last book in the Noble Dead Saga — S3B4: First and Last Sorcerer. A lot has happened in our lives over the last season, so this is the first time in 13 years that we have missed a deadline. No one panic, as the release date remains firm. As always, the next book will debut the first week of January in 2015.

The saga’s final book is already titled. S...

#fantasybooks, #books, #misttornwitches, #barbhendee, #nobledeadsaga This has been in the pipeline for a little while, but it can now be officially announced. Barb has signed a contract for two more books in the Mist-Torn Witches series: Witches with the Enemy (5/2015) and Cry of the Kettle Witch (5/2016).

She is very excited.

And don’t forget, the release of MW2: Witches in Red is only a few months away (5/6/2014).

Werewolves and magic and gypsies… oh my!

It has been a while since the last entry in the Reader’s Corner, and some of you may be joining this series for the first time. If so, you might wish to read “Back-up Your eBooks! [Part 1].”

It is lengthy but provides a foundation to take control of your e-books, your purchases, and your property. That article may help you understand the challenge in doing so, for there are more challenges herein. Grab a cup of cof...

There are three basic phases that a book goes through (after the initial draft) when writers work with a professional publisher. J.C. and I have chatted with you before about some of these:

revision after receiving an editor’s notes, review of copy-edited manuscript, and proofreading the typeset pages (galleys).

Each phase has its own difficulties and challenges. At present, I am in phase 3 for MW2: Witches in...

This includes pre-order of completed but pending releases such as MW2: Witches in Red, the next volume in Barb’s Mist-Torn Witches series.

NOTE: Unfortunately, and due to inequities in Google’s contract with private con...
