Welcome to Noble Blood, a production of I Heart Radio and Grim and Mild from Aaron Manky, listener discretion advised.

Hey, this is Dana Schwartz, the host of Noble Blood.

I am so excited that my novel Immortality is now I'm pretty sure officially out in the world and it would mean the world to me if you

went out and ordered a copy or found one or gave it as a gift.

It's a story of a young woman in Regency, London and a lot of historical characters that I've covered on this podcast and make an appearance.

I don't want to spoil more than that, but if you like this podcast, I really think you like it.

If you want to support our show, you can do that at patreon.com slash Noble Blood Tales.

We have merch that I've linked in the episode description and as always just thanks for listening.
