The Lonely Raven Trilogy, Book One
Fantasy / Romance
Date Published: February 11, 2025
Publisher: Clay Bridges Press
Fallon has received premonitions since she was a child—visions that
have driven her to steer countless strangers and acquaintances from looming
dangers. But these powers have come at a great cost. After enduring
heart-wrenching losses during her teenage years, Fallon has lived a solitary
life for over a decade, her only anchor being her childhood best
friend.
That is, until a series of intense premonitions draws a group of new people
into her life, people who start to feel like family. But something deeper is
stirring. The raven tattoo on her wrist has begun to tingle, and a raven has
started appearing in her visions. Worse still, Fallon is haunted by the
memory of someone from her past, someone she loved, and she believes
abandoned her—a person to whom the raven seems inexplicably
tied.
As the visions grow more urgent, Fallon must decipher their meaning to
protect those she cares about. But the question lingers: Is the raven a
guide or a harbinger of doom?
In this gripping first installment of “The Lonely Raven
Trilogy,” Fallon must face the shadows of her past to safeguard the
future of those she loves—and discover whether the raven is an ally or
a threat.
Interview
What is the hardest part of writing your books?
The hardest part of writing is finding a quiet place in my house to write. Writing itself is usually never a problem. I love my family but I do dream of a quiet cabin on a mountaintop.
What are your most played songs?
The music I listen to most while writing this trilogy is definitely Foo Fighters and Slash’s band with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators. Specifically for Foo Fighters: “I Should Have Known” and “Everlong”.
For SMKC: “Lost Inside the Girl”, “You’re a Lie” and “Starlight”.
I also listened to a lot of Chris Cornell’s solo stuff while working on Book One.
Do you have critique partners or beta readers?
I let a lot of people read The Secret Girl before I made the decision to publish. During that process I determined two readers who were the most useful in their critiques and ideas. So, they are now my beta readers for Book Two. One of them is a therapist and I feel like she has all of my characters in therapy, asking deep questions which make me look at aspects of the story from different angles.
What book are you reading now?
I can’t read while I’m trying to finish up a project (I’m putting the final touches on Book Two) but I am nearly done with Iron Flame and I had just begun Book of Doors by Gareth Brown.
How did you start your writing career?
I’ve been writing since I was 8, but I was always too uncertain of myself to attempt to get published. I tried a few times over the years but I just didn’t possess the courage. When I turned 50 last year a switch flipped and I knew I needed to get my writing out into the world ASAP. A good friend is involved in a hybrid publishing company and we got to work on getting The Lonely Raven trilogy ready for publication.
Tell us about your next release.
Coming up later this year is Book Two in The Lonely Raven Trilogy. Fallon Quinn will be forced to confront her past and will learn the truth about her magic and her future.
