2013-05-01T17:20:00.001-07:00

It has been some two weeks since we shared anything out of NobleDead.org. Shame on us!

We will update the listing there and notify you if anything changes. And...

It has been a while (again) since the last update about “Tales from the world of the Noble Dead Saga.” Both Barb and J.C. are working on new entries in this privately published project.

So finally, here is what is coming… Captives by Barb will be a new entry in the “Homeward” collection. It is...

NEWS FLASH: New Books, Now You See Them…Oops, No You Don’t.

2013-03-25T08:09:00.001-07:00

This morning, Barb came across the following article in the New York Times. Though it pertains to print books in physical bookstores (at this time), it is of interest to both readers and writers where print and electronic books are concerned for the future. Special arrangements for display space and/or positioning of new books in bookstores has been the standard for a long time. This new battle affects wholesale purchase of books before display arrangements are made… specifically which books...

Writer’s Corner: This Decade’s Challenge for Authors is… Exposure!

2013-03-24T11:03:00.001-07:00

No, not exposing themselves (come on now) but their books. J.C. here, this time, with some thoughts on this scary (rather than titillating) topic. How is it that a reader (of fantasy or other premise genre) discovers not just a new book but maybe a new author? Both the casual shopper and the specific fantasy shopper are of great concern here. Neither are served by online stores the way they used to be served by physical stores. The author, as well as the reader, is shorted by this. Let us...

The Writer’s Corner: Authors and Their Books (and other Fairytales from the Internet)

2013-03-18T12:35:00.001-07:00

J.C. here to introduce Barb’s new entry in this article series. You might think the internet’s rapid growth makes information more accessible to all. “Information” is not the same as “fact” or “truth.” Add in that the amount of misinformation (and disinformation) is growing exponentially, and the internet now empowers rumors like nothing else before it. It is probably not surprising to any of you that there are people who actually think those rumors are true… a fact. All of this applies to...

The Mist-Torn Witches… A Preview

2013-03-12T12:36:00.001-07:00

A while back, we decided to discontinue hosting book “excerpts” at our sites, NobleDead.org and BarbHendee.org. Such are available at all online vendors for the ebook editions of our works. Hosting our own excerpts seemed redundant, but things change.. Excerpts of the first volume in the coming Mist-Torn Witches series are now available at both of our sites. Go into either site’s “Books” page, select the book’s title in the right-hand menu, and you will see the link directly below the book’s...

Tales Update, and What’s to Come

2013-03-04T14:28:00.001-08:00

We have not done a general update since before the first of the year for “Tales from the world of the Noble Dead Saga.” There are a few changes to come, though they will not affect our current readers. One thing noticed is that though these privately published short stories and novellas are doing fairly well, their readership is pretty limited to fans of the Noble Dead Saga. We would like to see Tales reach a slightly broader audience. We do our best to make them accessible to anyone,...
