After some failed confirmations from one selected winner, we now have our third and final winner for this raffle. Along with April Halcomb and Mark Mains, Michael S. Hockenson Jr. has also won a signed, first edition, paperback of MW3: Witches with the Enemy.

Even now, all prizes are in the mail and should be in the winners’ hands with 10 days (usually). And with half a week gone, it will not be too long until next Monday morning… and another Audiobook raffle from Barb & J.C. and NobleDead.org.  

As of this morning, we have two out of three confirmed winners. April Halcomb and Mark Mains have each won a signed, first edition, paperback of MW3: Witches with the Enemy.

We have yet to hear confirmation from the third winner, who has until 6AM PST, Tomorrow, to respond. If not, we will proceed to the reselection process as outlined in the original raffle announcement.

More news to come soon. Another raffle is also pending for next Monday here at NobleDead.org.

We’re in the one-month countdown to the release of Witches with the Enemy. I’ve been sort of chewing my fingernails over this one. My editor loved it, and I’m hoping so will everyone else.

This one is a little darker than the two previous books, but Céline and Amelie are coerced into traveling to Prince Damek’s castle to solve a mystery for him. So… anything taking place in Damek’s castle is going to be dark…

Chris Strickland has won the first Noble­Dead­.org audiobook raffle for The Mist-Torn Witches, book 1.  His promo code has already been delivered.

The Audiobook raffle for The Mist-Torn Witches, book 1 (set in the world of the Noble Dead Saga)  ends as of tomorrow, Friday the 3rd, Midnight PST. Hop over to the original raffle notice and read the rules. Then get your entry in while you can. Over the weekend, we will select the winner to be announced by Monday.
NEXT UP: We will wait one week to begin Audiobook Raffle #2 the following Monday. The prize will be an audio edition of S1B1: Dhampir. For those concerned whether or not you too can enjoy these audiobooks, hop over to the Audible.com apps page to check out how to listen. There are more options than some of you might know.

That is the question.

I’ve heard that writers should never, ever look at Amazon reader reviews of their novels. This is probably good advice. Still, every once in a while, I can’t help myself.

In my last post, I talked about polar opposite reactions to our female characters. Today, I’m thinking about the aspect of “re-capping” in a long running series. This, too, draws some polar opposite reactions…

Congratulations to  Emilio C. (MX), Carl K. (USA), and Brandi H. (USA). Last names are not used for the sake of privacy. Their signed copies of Witches in Red are in the mail and should arrive (in the USA) within 10 business days. And as to what comes next…

Due to unforeseen complications with international S&H, we will be reviewing additional considerations to compensate sometime in the near future. In the meantime, we must fall back to USA only entrants for the next raffle, which will be something a bit different.

Reader’s Choice Raffle at NobleDead.org

Coming the second week of July (skipping the week of the 4th), the next raffle will let you pick and choose (from selected titles) which book in the Noble Dead Saga you would like if you win. And of course all copies will be first edition and signed by Barb and J.C. Here is your chance to flesh out your collection.

The selected titles for the first coming R.C.R. will be announced when the event opens; watch for it folks and tell your friends. The only hint we can provide right now is that the prizes will all be hardbound editions chosen by Barb and J.C. This form of raffle will only ever be offered directly through NobleDead.org.

We are late in declaring this first international raffle closed. The three winners have been selected (via use of Random.org), notified, and two have confirmed so far. We will have more news once all three are confirmed. And of course this is not the last raffle to come out of NobleDead.org. Another raffle will be announced in early July. It will be a bit different in the kind of book prize awarded.

Please stay tuned and share out the news, for the next raffle will also be international. Also watch for news coming very (very) soon about a new eBook release for TNDS: Tales from the world of the Noble Dead Saga.

15 hours until the Midnight PST deadline for this international raffle of 3 signed, first edition, paperbacks of Witches in Red by Barb Hendee. After that, we begin the drawing and notification process and (likely) will announce the winners on Monday.

Last chance, folks, so see the original notice for rules and how to enter while you still can.

One more quick reminder that the raffle is still open for one of three signed, first-edition paperbacks of Witches in Red. Get your entry in while you can, and this raffle is open to all readers worldwide. For rules and requirements, please see the original notice.

You heard it right. This raffle is open to readers worldwide. And the prize is a signed, paperback, 1st edition of MW2: Witches in Red, volume 2 in the Mist-Torn Witches series. And it gets better.

3 Winners will be chosen from among all entrants; and this raffle will be open for almost two weeks.

Please follow the instructions below (without exception) so your entry is confirmed on the first submission...

Today is the “official” release for the 2nd book in The Mist-Torn Witches series. Links to major online vendors have been updated in the “Books” section at NobleDead.org, if you need a way to find…

MW2: Witches in Red

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

While we are always cheerful on “release days,” Barb is especially excited about this, obviously.

Come join Céline and Amelie Fawe on their next adventure!

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!
