Site Update: Now on Google Play…

This update has been long (long) overdue. All works by Barb and/or J.C. in the “Books” section at Noble­Dead­.org now have links to editions available through Play­.Google­.com.

NOTE: Unfortunately, and due to inequities in Google’s contract with private content providers, works in T·N·D·S: Tales from the world of the Noble Dead Saga are not available through Google Play. We monitor the status of affected contract clauses on a semi-regular bases; if and when such improve to match those of our other contracted vendors, “tales” will then be released through Google Play.

NOW Available: A Wind in the Night

Hurrah! Today is the “official” release date for the latest volume in the Noble Dead Saga. All links to major online vendors have been updated in the Books section at NobleDead.org, if you need a quick way to find…

S3B3: A Wind in the Night.

Previews are available by looking for the ebook edition at your preferred vendor, even if print books are more to your liking.

While we are always cheerful on “release days,” Barb is especially excited about getting this one into the hands of our readers.  It is quite a story.
