New Book Excitement & a Giveaway

The Gold-Son is coming soon!

 

It's finally June & the release of The Gold-Son is mere weeks away as I write this! I've started preparations for the fantastic launch party I'll be having at the James V. Brown Library on Friday, June 30th. We're going to have lovely snacks at this enchanted forest themed party, as well as a book signing, prizes, and a reading from the book!
I hope you can join us!

 
  In celebration of the release, I will be giving away a signed copy of the novel. To enter the drawing, follow me on Twitter (@noblebat) or Instagram (@carrieannenoble7) and post your favorite Irish quote or image (but please keep it clean, kids!). Be sure to tag your post with #thegoldson. My leprechaun friends will help me select a favorite, and I'll announce the winner July 1st. 
May the luck of the Irish be with you! 

 

  In other VERY exciting news, an excerpt from The Gold-Son will be featured in the June 2017 issue of Deep Magic--along with writing by Terry Brooks, Jeff Wheeler, Charlie N. Holmberg, and more! Be sure to check out this excellent e-zine chock full of great science fiction and fantasy!



 Beir bua agus beannach,
(Take victory & blessings),

 Carrie

Launch Party and Beyond Hi, all! I thought I'd share some photos from the launch party we had for The Gold-Son on June 30th. The James V. Brown Library of Williamsport, PA kindly allowed us to use their beautiful media room for our enchanted woods-themed festivities. A Leprechaun showed up for the party, courtesy of Dad's Garage Art. Thanks, Wayne Parfitt! Pot o' gold cupcakes sprouting rainbows, and other goodies! Bat cookies in honor of our Faerie-bat friend Copper Meringue mushrooms, chocolate mushrooms, shamrock cookies, forest berries... The author read aloud and then gave out fabulous prizes! Yes, I wanted to show off my cute dress. Author & her wonderful husband--who gave her the shiny tree. Not part of the party--but amazing gifts my publisher sent me to celebrate the book's release. Skyscape is the best!  Also...great news! Audiofile Magazine gave the audio book their Earphones Award for outstanding audio book

Spring Cleaning Writer Challenge

Hi! I was tagged by the charming & very talented author H.L. Burke for this springtime challenge! In spite of the fact that I find the idea of spring cleaning reprehensible, here's my post! 1. Dust-bunnies and Plot-bunnies: Reorganize Your Writing Goals (Or Make New Ones)   My Big Fat Goal is to get my current novel-in-progress into shape so I can query agents and sign with a really great one by the end of 2018! Easy as pie...I wish! 2. Which Stage Are You At? Expound! a. Remodeling layouts (planning the story) b. Painting the walls in colorful hues (writing) c. Polishing the windows and scrubbing the floors and putting flowers in vases (editing) d. Blueprints (not to the cleaning or remodeling yet… just drawing up plans for the very beginning inklings of a story) e. Some combination of those things (cleaning out a closet) As usual, I’m doing   a. and b. at the same time…and a little c.   Which may explain why it takes me so long to write

Irish Blessings, Curses, & Wisdom   In honor of the upcoming June 2017 release of my novel The Gold-Son (which features Irish characters, lore, and settings), I offer you a collection of Irish sayings—some sweet, some humorous, and a few downright nasty (things an ornery leprechaun might say!). Enjoy!       Wisdom & Good Wishes 1. May the hinges of our friendship never grow rusty. 2. Enough is as good as a feast. 3. There's no need to fear the wind if your haystacks are tied down. 4. God is good, but never dance in a small boat. 5. It's no use carrying an umbrella if your shoes are leaking. 6. A trout in the pot is better than a salmon in the sea. 7. May the frost never afflict your spuds. May the outside leaves of your cabbage always be free from worms. May the crow never pick your haystack, and may your donkey always be in foal. 8. May I see you old and grey and combing out your grandchildren's hair. 9. May the grass grow long on the road to hell
