Noble Dead Raffle—NOW OPEN

We’re a bit late, as it was Barb and J.C.’s anniversary Friday, though they took Thursday off instead and then had to catch up on revision work for S3B2: The Dog in the Dark.

But here we are again, finally. Time for another chance to have a book shipped straight to your door from our publisher, this time for another signed hardback copy of S3B1: Between Their Worlds…

Please follow instructions below so your entry is confirmed on the first submission.

The raffle is open to only readers in the USA. Deadline for receipt of all entries is Friday, March 30, Midnight PST (via the timestamp on the email you send for your entry). By the following Monday, one random winner will be notified via email and (once confirmed) will be announced (by name only) through the NobleDead.org and its newsfeed and accepted social systems. The publisher will be notified as well, and the winner should receive the prize within 10 business days.
