You read it, now hear it…

Finally... this week, our beloved narrator for the Noble Dead Saga's audio editions, Tanya Eby, completed the recording for the The Night Voice., the saga’s final volume coming in print and ebook this January 2017. She is the only person besides our editor who has read the book, and we were so happy when she wrote to say, “I loved it.” She has recorded all fourteen of the novels now, and she is almost as invested as we are. The audio book will be released on the same day as the hard cover.

And more to come by the new year.

—Barb & J.C.

Winners (x3) are being selected as you read this via Random.org and will be notified to confirm shipping address.

Should confirmation not be received in the allotted time (see the rules), we will proceed to reselection. Confirmed winners will be announced as soon as possible...

Less than 12 hours to go until the closing of the second RCR raffle at Midnight, PST, tonight. That is still enough time to get your entry in to win a signed, first-edition hardback of your choice from available volumes in the Noble Dead Saga. See the original raffle notice, read the rules, and select your prize.

We promised to open up the first Reader’s Choice Raffle by the 7th of this month; problems with international shipping of prizes for the last raffle caused us to pause amid a rather busy schedule.

The first RCR has been rescheduled for the first week of August. Right now, the Hendees are quite busy in outlining and drafting the final volume of the saga, S3B5: The Night Voice (1/2016). They have also recently finalized proofing of S3B4: First and Last Sorcerer (1/2015)…

Barb will be doing an all day event on Tuesday, May 6th, over at Bitten by Books. We will give away two signed copies of The Mist-Torn Witches.

Yes, this is the first book in the series, but the folks at BbyB thought this would be best to bring in readers. However, right now, you can go to Bitten by Books RSVP. Everybody who RSVPs before the event will get an additional 25 entries into the contest. Then on Tuesday, just join us at the main Bitten by Books site. See you then!

The Goodreads raffle for free copies of the coming MW2: Witches in Red (sequel to MW1: The Mist-Torn Witches) is now closed. The turnout was quite good, and we now wait and see who the winners will be. Some or all may have been notified already, though we are out of the loop on that.

For the future, sometime in May we will open up our own raffle for one or more copies of MW2: Witches in Red. We may even include a raffle for a like copy of MW1: The Mist-Torn Witches. And do not forget…

SciFiChick is well-known throughout the SF/F community and with good reason.She is giving away a free signed copy of the trade paperback edition of Homeward by Barb Hendee. She is even letting you enter multiple times—but only once per 24 hours.

This raffle closes on April 25th, 2014. So whether you know her or not, drop by and have a peek at what she is up to while you have a try at this giveaway. (See also “The­Sci­Fi­Chick­.com” on Facebook and “The­Sci­Fi­Chi” on Twitter.)

We are in the “one-month” countdown to the publication of Witches in Red. Barb is very excited about this book being released into the hands of readers. The story is quite a ride. It will be available for purchase on May 6th.

Also… our publisher is hosting an early give-away over at Goodreads. Fifteen copies are up for grabs! Pop over and enter to win your copy.

Happy reading!

John 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 current and final raffle for a signed, hard­bound, first edition of S3B3 A Wind in the Night ended as of midnight last night. Hopefully all of you got your entry in before the deadline.

The winner selected via use of Random­.org will be notified shortly by email and has 48 hours to respond with verification of shipping address. If no response is received within the time limit, a new winner will be selected and verification repeats.

Come Wednesday Morning, we will announce either the winner or notification of a redraw process. And be assured that this is not the last raffle to come out of NobleDead.org. We will have more news on this and other topics coming soon.

And of course, A Wind in the Night will reach the bookstore shelves very soon!

This last raffle for a signed, hardbound, first edition of S3B3: A Wind in the Night ends tonight at Midnight, PST. You have 15 hours or less, so if you have not entered yet…

Please see the “original post” and follow the instructions so your entry is confirmed in your first submission.

This raffle is open to participants in the USA… and now CANADA and MEXICO as well.

Well, we certainly did not think through this last raffle’s schedule; it falls right over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day… obviously! Considering that the staff and Barb & J.C. want time off like everyone else, we are pushing forwarding the deadline for this raffle’s entries.

If you catch this notice after you have opened all of those presents and recovered from the feasting aftermath, you still have time to get your entry in. The deadline for this raffle is now Sunday, December 29th, Midnight, PST.

Please see the raffle Rules & Requirements if you are hearing about this for the first time. In fact, check them anyway when entering, even if you have previously entered a past Noble Dead Raffle.

And Happy Holidays from the staff and the authors!

The deadline for entries remains the same as listed in the opening of this raffle: Friday (tomorrow), Midnight, PST.

And thank you to the few readers who pointed out this error.
