Happy One Year Anniversary, TRC!

It's hard to believe we've been writing stories for The Ravens Crossing (TRC) for a whole year. We have just started our third season and we are still going strong. The adventure just keeps getting richer for all of us as we go along. I get a little phaclempt when I look back over how much this small group of college alums and friends have accomplished in such a short time to make this project a reality. Thanks again to fellow authors Andi Lea, and West Thornhill, and to Poet Rae, Rage, Chibi, and all of our volunteers who have helped us along the way. Most of all, we want to show our appreciation for our amazing readers, who are the absolute best!! In celebration of this milestone, we are throwing a giveaway with tons of great loot, including free copies or our ebooks, and a $50 gift certificate from Amazon. Head on over to www.theravenscrossing.org  to enter. Thanks again for reading and for helping us spread the word about TRC! 

Better Late Than Never

After many postponements and cancellations, Nataraja, my drumming performance group finally got together for our late Christmas Party. In the spirit of the season, we have released our latest music video, a truly fantastic collaboration. I am the one playing Carol's crazy hat. I think we'll be nominated for The Kennedy Center Honors, any day now. LOL! 

Over at The Ravens Crossing, we are on our short winter break, but we've been posting winter short stories every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, in addition to our usual Sunday posts. Don't miss out on the fun. Yesterday was Morgan & Darien hanging with Rowan & Wade. Good times. Season 3 will begin very soon on 1-13-2013. It seemed a fitting date for The Thirteen's adventures to continue. 

Pierre and Ben at Last!

After a long hiatus, in which I was writing, writing, writing, just not blogging, I have an exciting bit of news to share. For those of you following The Ravens Crossing through its two full seasons, the second of which ended yesterday, I wanted to be sure you knew that there is an epilogue! It's not over until today. Yes indeed, there's more by Andi Lea!! Don't miss it. It's all about - you guessed it -Pierre and Ben. In case you've been wondering about them and what happened, here's your chance to learn more!! It's good stuff.

The Ravens Crossing will be taking a four week break for the holidays, but don't worry, we have fun stuff planned in the meantime. Check the site on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. You never know who will take over and what they might feel like sharing. 

Most of all, don't miss out on Season Three which begins 1-13-2013. The Thirteen will be learning to stand strong together. Gaeas don't do things by halves. Things are bound to get messy. And, if there is adventure to be found, you can be sure the kids of Wildwood will be smack in the heart of it. Don't miss a minute! 

Hope you and yours have a very happy holiday season!

Scary Books for All Hallows Read

All Hallows Read is a little something one of my favorite autors, Neil Gaiman, came up with. It's a fairly new tradition, one that is catching on as it should. The idea is simple. Give a scary book to someone for Halloween. I mean candy is good and all, but I agree with Neil, I'd rather have something I can really sink my teeth into, something that isn't quite so bad for them. So, I'm very glad that my colleagues over at The Ravens Crossing have decided to participate this year in All Hallows Read. We are giving away Book One: The 13 for free starting today, Monday, October 29th through Hallowe'en, Wednesday, October 31st. So head on over to Smashwords to download your copy and make sure you send your friends over. Give the gift of a free book the Halloween!
