Vendor Update for TNDS (Tales)

HW6_Tales_Logo_128

At this time, we are sad to announce that we will not release any further additions in T·N·D·S: Tales from the world of the Noble Dead Saga through Apple / iBookStore.

NOTE: This does not affect any of our novels produced by Roc / Penguin-Putnam. The ebook editions of our novels are control and distributed by our publisher, not us.

If you purchased past or current “tales” through Apple / iBookStore / iTunes, you will still have them forever; Apple will see to this. Currently released titles at Apple / iBookstore will also remain available for purchase until sales have flatlined for 60 days or 2 calendar months, whichever comes first. As to why this decision was made…

NOW AVAILABLE: Puppy Love

SC1

One more release for this month, and it marks the opening of a new collection in T·N·D·S: Tales from the world of the Noble Dead Saga.

J.C. Hendee 
“Sagecraft” Collection
$2.99 USD
Novella, 50k+ words
ASIN: B00D7P7KIU
English Only; Kindle Only.

For further details, please visit the “Tales” page at NobleDead.org. While you are there, have a look at previous “Tales” in the other collections. And now to answer the obvious question…

NOW AVAILABLE (on iTunes): CLAWS, sequel to CAPTIVES

HW7

Claws by Barb Hendee has finally come available at iTunes / iBookStore.

TNDS: The Jan and Julianna series

HW5_Tales_Logo_128Okay, yesterday I (Barb) finished the first draft of the next novella in the adventures and romance of Jan and Julianna, tentatively titled The Sleeping Curse.

JC hasn't read it yet, and he sometimes likes to play with titles. This is a fun story, and we should have further details available in July through NobleDead.org along with purchase points. As for all previous releases, see the “Tales” page at our site for T·N·D·S (a.k.a. Tales from the world of the Noble Dead Saga).

If you want to read the ongoing story of Jan and Juliana—one of our few truly sequential sets of tales, all in the “Homeward” collection—here is the order for them:

HW4 HW5
HW6 HW7 

NOTE (Barb): The Reluctant Guardian is about Aunt Beija, but the plight of Jan and Julianna plays a part.

NOTE (J.C.): the motif of past covers will change in the near future to fit our new “collection” approach to design, content, and organization. In the covers for Captives and Claws you see the slight differences to come when we update past covers.

See the “Tales” page at NobleDead.org for further details and purchase points to these and other ebook-only releases.
