This fifth offering in Tales from the world of the Noble Dead Saga is now available (finally) at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and yes, KoboBooks. For more information please visit the “Tales” page at NobleDead.org.
For non-USA readers, Amazon and KoboBooks offer access and purchase from outside of the USA. For Amazon, you will need to seek the proper site by domain extension (.es, .uk, etc.); see the main Amazon.com site for assistance if you cannot find your region’s domain site. KoboBooks has affiliates in about 150 countries, though their main site (from what we understand) sells directly (with immediate access) to many countries around the world.
It may take a little more time for our privately published titles to filter through these large vendor sites to any of their non-USA subsites, but they will. We thank you for your patience with all of the technical difficulties that delayed this release.
NOTE: Along with this release, Homeward, I: The Game Piece by Barb has also (finally) become available at KoboBooks.com.
You can find the direct link for it through the “Tales” page at NobleDead.org.
While you’re at our site, you can also have a look at the previous “Tales” releases in the “Homeward” and “Bones of the Earth” sequences.
Though set in the world of the Noble Dead Saga, the “Tales” stories and sequences do not require knowledge of the saga’s books/series. You can easily pick up and read one as your first venture in this world.
You Don't Need an EReader
Apps for Windows, OS X, Android and iOS devices to purchase and read ebooks are available for free. If you later buy a device, all of your previously purchased books from the device's vendor will load to your new device as well as still being available through your vendor-based app.
“Tales” Now Available at KoboBooks.com
KoboBooks.com finally opened up its e-publishing portal four days ago, and we were waiting and ready. All currently released Tales from the world of the Noble Dead Saga have been published to their online offerings and most are now popping up in their international sites. [Read on for more on this.]
You can find Kobo links on our “Tales” and “Books” pages at NobleDead.org. Oh, and of course Kobo does have free apps for all platforms; you will find links to those as well.
NOTE: Homeward, I: The Game Piece by Barb has yet to complete the publishing shunt to the Kobo catalog after four days. We are looking into any problems and will update when glitches get worked out. Since the Homeward sequence stories are autonomous, this should not be a problem. You can always pick up the The Game Piece later if you are a Kobo customer.
For Our International Readers…
Like Amazon’s AZW/MOBI format, Kobo sells internationally in the EPUB format, the true industry standard for e-publications. This is a bit of relief, as we have heard from some frustrated fans abroad who want access to our privately published works. So if you are outside the US territories, and you use something other than a Kindle app/device, you can now get your hands on our “Tales” at KoboBooks.com
UPDATE: Homeward, III: The Sapphire
Other Vendors…
We’re still waiting for the Kobo e-publishing portal (for Kobo ereader devices) to come online. With a little luck, that should happen soon, as July was the target last mentioned by Kobo.com.
A recent re-experiment in listing “tales” for sale via Google Books (“Google Play”) produced negative changes (without our consent) when the first work went live for purchase. This in turn had a negative impact on listings with other vendors. All “tales” were immediately pulled from sale via Google Books.
Works in the “Tales” project will not be offered through Google Books for the foreseeable future; J.C. has burned too much time with this one vendor already. As mentioned before, anyone with an Android based phone, tablet, or other device can easily download and install an “app” for any other major online ebook vendor.
