    About this ebook

    Troy Hancock had been born into the smalltown South like every other kicking, mewling brat that had ever been, with one major difference: his family had secrets. Maybe not so different. After all, in the South, don't we all? Most of them just don't involve blood-splattered walls and dead people, nor creatures and spirits from the mythic past of the Cherokee....

    Raven pits the mythic figures of the Cherokee Ravenmocker and Spearfinger against the modern world of smalltown Southern America in a tale of suspense, paranormal fantasy, and horror which attempts to break down stereotypes while at the same time delivering a spine-tingling ride.

    Michelle Iacona

    Michelle Iacona is a 40-year-old author and poet currently living in the dark, misty nowhere that is the countryside of North Carolina. A graduate (Magna Cum Laude) in Creative Writing from Saint Andrews Presbyterian College, she had her first works published at the age of 21 in 1993 when she won the distinguished Bunn-McClelland Chapbook Award. Writing since the age of five, life has become an endless quest to achieve that one piece which will make of her a household name. Although a bit of a cynic, her gothic mindset has enabled her to explore the fantastic, both in this realm and the next. Her cynicism is tempered with a dose of phantasm which lends itself not only to her daily life, but to her writing as well. Currently, she has become addicted to the internet, as well as continuing her interests in comparative mythology, poetry, classical literature, gothic/industrial music, and collecting model equines. Favorite authors include T.S. Eliot, Ronald H. Bayes, Oscar Wilde, Yukio Mishima, Clive Barker, Anne Rice, and J.R.R. Tolkien.

      The Library of Gromma

      Jul 10, 2023
