Down a snow-speckled alley in Montparnasse…
On a park bench in Prague in spring…
“Ravenscar” now awaits all who search there.
*coughs into her fist a bit uncomfortably*
Admittedly, “Ravenscar” also awaits all on the web this morning as it
has officially been released by Dreamspinner Press, and while that is the point it lacks the bit of
theatricality our short story definitely deserves in its debut to the world!
Besides, all the places mentioned above are indeed visited by our
intrepid lovers, Ayers Bard and Ethan Holloway (you’ll remember him as the “John
Doe” of our early February machinations).
For those of you not aware, I wrote “Ravenscar” in a mad dash of
creativity over two weeks in late January and early February. The entire chaotic,
hair-pulling, wonderfully satisfying, glorious event from conception to last
minute edits was shared here on this blog with all of you.
“Ravenscar” is indeed our
story.
Below is the official blurb for our baby, along with a link so you can
see our story at play with all the big guns at Dreamspinner Press.
Accompanying the blog today is a picture of Robin Hood’s Bay, England. “Ravenscar”
begins there and it is this small village in North Yorkshire that inspired the
entire haunting tale.
I’ve also included a link to my “Ravenscar” board on Pinterest which
has 12 pictures, most with captions pointing out specific locales in the story.
Whew! Now, I’ve just got to write 1k on Writhe’s sequel. Long
day ahead.
Remember, no evening blog anymore so…
Until tomorrow…

Ethan Holloway, an Indiana
doctor, waits on the seawall of Robin Hood’s Bay, England, remembering what
brought him there. While serving with the US Army four years ago, Ayers Bard, a
British Intelligence officer, saved Ethan’s life after he was left for dead by
insurgents. In turn, Ethan rescued Ayers when a second attack struck their position.
A fateful meeting at a bar in
Paris finally connected Ethan with his mysterious soldier, and mutual
attraction became a love story that spanned years… until Ethan received the
call declaring his lover dead. He arrives expecting to find closure and a
companion in his grief, but instead discovers unanswered questions and maybe a
miracle.
