HW1: The Game Piece by Barb, our past first release in T·N·D·S, is now available through the Sony ReaderStore. It is also available through Inktera, Versent Books, and Diesel, though the latter reroutes ebook purchases to the Kobo ebook store. New vendor links for this title have been added at NobleDead.org

If you have not tried some of these (pseudo) independent bookstores, have a peek at your leisure. It never hurts...

Nearly all major e-book vendors have a so-called “cloud” service attached to purchase accounts. What many readers do not know is that this is not adequate protection against loss of your purchases. This technology (first conceived and born in the 1990s) is not all that we think it is. Nor does it always give you completely unaltered access to your e-books when and where you wish. Your e-books are not fully and safely yours… until yo...

SC1: Puppy Love has finished its commitment in KDP Select. While we evaluate the impact (if any) in testing that exclusive program, we want to get it out there for those on other ereader platforms who may have been waiting for it.

You can find it in T·N·D·S: Tales from the world of the Noble Dead Saga at Noble­Dead­.org or simply use one of the links provided above.

This will likely be our one T·N·...

This is an experiment, so we are starting off with our oldest title in T·N·D·S: Tales from the world of the Noble Dead Saga.

HW1: The Game Piece (by Barb) is now available at Smashwords.com in EPUB (only) format. So go get it if you do not have it yet.

We tried Smash­words­.com once in the past and quickly abandoned it for a list of reasons. In our effort to expand “tales” distribution into other markets, we will try i...

Because the initial manuscripts for our books are due at the same time each year, JC and I have fallen into a cycle regarding which stage of which project we work on in each season. Cycles are a part of life for authors working under contract. Until last month, I never realized how comfortable I was with this, or how much I had come to depend upon it…

 

For me, the year starts near the end of May. I know that sounds odd, but...

All authors with an online presence receive questions from readers about themselves and their works. We are no different in this.

Since the inception of T·N·D·S: Tales from the world of the Noble Dead Saga, and its first release, we as well began receiving queries specific to this project… and not always about individual tales.

We thought we would share some of those submitted questions and, of course, the an...

Hi Gang. Although we’ve been a bit quiet these past weeks, there has been a good deal going on. Time to share a few things.

First (and most exciting)… J.C. and I have signed a contract for three more books: the final two books in the Noble Dead Saga and the first book of a new yet-to-be-named series.

Yes, you read that right. After The Wind in the Night is released this coming January, we will complete the saga in two more books: First and Last Sorcerer and The Night Voice [working titles]. We promise both will be heart-stopping and reveal long-awaited secrets. At present, we cannot talk about the upcoming new series, but stay tuned for more news down the road. We are very excited about the schedule and the upcoming books.

Second… I received some welcome news from my editor: The Mist-Torn Witches has gone into a second printing! I was doing a happy dance around the house. Witches in Red comes out next May, and I will soon have more news to share about the future of that series.

Finally, I wanted to say how glad I was that JC put The Forgotten Mistress up for sale this week and with such a lovely cover. The Forgotten Lord received more fan mail than any other Tale I have written, but everyone was unhappy with the ending. Hah! Fear not. The ending of this new Tale is quite different. That’s the scoop!

Please pardon this repeat announcement, as we are conducting a test. We know the count of “tales” has grown to the point that it is hard to present all (or the most recent one) in a convenient way for our visitors. Drill-down to find the one you are after can be tedious.

Solutions are being sought. For now we will see how links to multiple vendors pass through our social network. Likely this will not work, but we want to find something that does not cause us to burn extra time in manually posting to all social accounts. Bear with us a little longer until we can figure out the best solution.

Minor changes are being made in how we make our news available for the convenience of others. For those who like Tumblr.com, you can now follow NobleDead.org, Barb, and J.C. over there.

Squidoo was a no hassle experiment we set up a while back. As a social system, it has become more of an environment where the owners want their users doing the work of building “expert” and “information” pages for free. Obviously, we do not fit into that world. Our news delivery through Squidoo has been terminated permanently.

Other changes to our social networking may come in the near future, but right now it is time to get back to drafting the next novel. Oh, and there is another “Tale” coming, so watch for further news coming this week.
