The Ratta Arc

 The Ratta Arc or Blood Arc of the Ghostwolf series starts with Raven Manor. 

Raven introduces the characters, the Lexicon, and some of the secrets our world hides. The Del Mulanti Ruv being one of the main secrets as well as the existence of Le Ratta Lexicul.  Both are explained under Pages at the right.

 The Blood Lexicon continues the Arc by bringing in some more of the secrets and explaining more about the Lexicon and its Keeper. This book gets down to the nitty gritty. 

 In the third book we learn why the Shavora are so important to both the Ruv and the world as a whole as well as more of the Lexicon's secrets.

These three books are what I have planned right now for the Ghostwolf series. That doesn't mean there aren't more coming in the future but these are all I have written down in my idea journal.  Not to mention I have 30 other books just waiting in the wings to be written. All started but on hold until their bunny starts thumping away at my brain.

I picked the Roma as the Ruv's chosen because I think they would be more accepting of the Ruv. Being on the end of discrimination themselves at times, I think they would welcome the Ruv as 'brothers' and 'sisters' and would not judge them harshly.  I am not expert with languages but I researched Romani and found different dialects/versions. So I mixed them together. The common language of the Ruv and Roma would have changed over the centuries, they and it are not static, and made a mashed up Common Tongue. There is a glossary under Pages at the right.

I have Lexicon and book one of the Song Saga open right now. When I get stumped or have writer's block on Lexicon, I work on Last Song until I can go back to Lexicon. I plan to have them both done by the middle to end of 2021. 

So check out the first book Raven Manor. Special pre-order price of 99 cents.

Holiday Resolutions

 Raven Manor is up for pre-order and will be published in the new year. 

The second book of the Ghostwolf series has been started and is underway.

Last Song, the first book of the Song Saga, is also started. 

I plan to finish the last two and publish them by the end of 2021. Book 3 of the Ghostwolf series will be published in 2022. That will finish the Ratta Arc of the series. 

This time of year is a time of reflection. Thinking about the past year and about what the new one will bring. Making plans to improve. 

However those plans usually fall by the wayside within months if not weeks as life moves on. Old habits die hard and life itself just gets in the way. I try to make goals that I know I will reach, that I will strive to reach. Humans can be lazy creatures and I'm guilty of that far too often. But once I set my mind to something I get it done, though it may be later than planned.

I have thousands of stories in my head. The ones that get done are the ones with the more vicious bunnies that thump my brain. Some of those bunnies are like Bunicula and sink fangs as well as thumping until I satisfy them enough that they give way to one of the others. The stories will get written, just the when is in doubt.

So the only resolution I really make is that I will keep writing. That I will strive to improve said writing and network with and support my fellow writers.  Beyond that I make no promises. 

RavenManor

 Raven Manor is up for Pre-order.

Dark Fantasy or supernatural crime drama is how I would categorize it. 

I set the date of publication as January 11,2021. I might have to change that. It might be sooner.  We'll see.

Everything is done except for the paperback. I haven't received the proof yet. 

An unusual murder scene just before Halloween starts off this savory read. 

The unusual isn't strange around that time of the year. People seem to go more crazy then and Detective John Hanlan has seen a lot of insanity as a homicide detective.  But this sends shivers up his spine.

There is more to this than just murder. 

Start the new year off right with this unusual read.
