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

S3B3_gold_ribbonJohn San­tose wins the final raf­fle in this se­ries for a signed, hard­bound, first-edi­tion of S3B3: A Wind in the Night and right be­fore this novel’s of­fi­cial week of re­lease. Sorry folks, this ends the cur­rent raf­fle se­ries, but con­grat­u­la­tions to John!

The Future of Raffles…

The only hint we will give you is that we are call­ing the next one a “Reader’s Choice Raf­fle.” You will have to wait until late in Feb­ru­ary to learn any­thing more, but we promise that it will be…

  1. something you will like,
  2. at least three raffles in the series, and
  3. open to readers in the USA, Canada, and Mexico!

And as to other things news…

The Future of the Saga…

Dur­ing Jan­u­ary, Barb & J.C. will be fin­ish­ing up and de­liv­er­ing the next to last vol­ume in the Noble Dead saga… with the work­ing title of S3B4: First and Last Sor­cerer. That will likely be the final title as well but can­not be con­firm for cer­tain at this time. Even as this no­tice is being pre­pared, the pair are hard at work fi­nal­iz­ing the draft ver­sion.

The Future of the “Tales”…

HW4_Tales_Logo_128There have been a few queries about the fu­ture of T·N·D·S: Tales from the world of the Noble Dead Saga. No, it has not been aban­doned. Yes, as said be­fore, there are no new “tales” re­leased dur­ing months be­fore and after the re­lease of a new novel in the Noble Dead Saga. And yes, some of the linked sto­ries in cer­tain tales “se­quences” will con­tinue.

MW2_usa_128The black­out pe­riod for new T·N·D·S re­leases may be ex­tended to in­clude the month dur­ing which a new Mist-Torn Witches novel (by Barb) is re­leased. After all, that au­tonomous se­ries is also set in the world of the Noble Dead Saga. MW2: Witches in Red is com­ing your way in May 2014.

About the time of the next raf­fle should see the re­lease of an­other new tale in T·N·D·S. Watch for no­tice through No­bleDead.org so­cial satel­lite pages or sub­scribe to the main site’s RSS news­feed.

And Other Things to Come…

Along the way and as time per­mits, you can also watch for more in the “Writer’s Cor­ner” and “Reader’s Cor­ner” ar­ti­cles out of No­bleDead.org. And this brings us to the close of an­other raf­fle se­ries, an­other year, and an­other new vol­ume in the Noble Dead Saga about to hit the shelves!

Thank you all for join­ing us, and a Happy New Year to every­one from Barb, J.C., and the staff.
