Social Update: Hello Tumblr, Bye-Bye Squidoo

64_tumblrMinor changes are being made in how we make our news available for the convenience of others. For those who like Tumblr.com, you can now follow NobleDead.org, Barb, and J.C. over there.

48_squidooSquidoo was a no hassle experiment we set up a while back. As a social system, it has become more of an environment where the owners want their users doing the work of building “expert” and “information” pages for free. Obviously, we do not fit into that world. Our news delivery through Squidoo has been terminated permanently.

HW6_Tales_Logo_128Other changes to our social networking may come in the near future, but right now it is time to get back to drafting the next novel. Oh, and there is another “Tale” coming, so watch for further news coming this week.

This is a Test…

#testpost, #socialnetworking

S3B3_usa_150We are sorry to bother you, so just ignore this post. We are testing out a new way to deliver news to some of our social network accounts.

Some real news should be coming within the week (fingers crossed) now that the proof notes for S3B3 A Wind in the Night have be returned to our publisher. 

—Barb & J.C.

General Update: The Saga and the Tales…

#books, #ebooks, #fantasybooks, #nobledeadsaga, #barbhendee, #jchendee, #fantasy, #highfantasy

S3B3_usa_192Just a brief note about where we are, what we are doing, and what is to come (that we can foresee at the moment). We received print “proofs” for S3B3: A Wind in the Night (Jan. 2014) and are working our way through this coming novel for the last time. Any corrections from us must be returned to the publisher soon, so this work will fill the rest of this week.

MB1_128In September will come another entry in T·N·D·S: Tales from the world of the Noble Dead Saga. It will be released mid-month, as J.C. needs time between online / offline management duties and his own writing to compile the ebook and a new cover.

MB2: The Forgotten Mistress, by Barb, is the sequel to MB1: The Forgotten Lord in the “Tales of Misbelief” collection. Keep an eye out for the release announcement coming next month. And of course there is even more to come as we figure out our ever-shifting schedule of other things to fit around our work on the Noble Dead Saga. Thanks for stopping by!

Wistful Writer’s Kitty

Window

When I was mainly posting over at the Barb Hendee website, every few weeks, I’d put up a photo of Ashes or Cinders—the new “writers’ cats.”

JC and I had two cats for nearly twenty years, and a little over two years ago, they both passed away within months of each other. It was difficult, and we spent over a year with no kitties and no intention of adopting new kitties. But two small kittens who desperately needed a home came into our lives about a year ago. They are cats now, but still filled with the energy of kittens. We adore them.

However, they are soooooo different from our first pair. Our darling Cinders is happiest when she’s outside, but JC and I won’t allow them to play outside if they are unsupervised. We do take them out two or three times a day, but we watch them and play with them. This morning, we are busy, and here is Cinders gazing longingly out the window, wishing she was outside.
