About this ebook
Ingrid Semeska is a troubled girl. She is failing high school, her foster mother and brother abuse her, and she has a habit of pushing away the people in life who love her. One of these people is Scott Bremman, a twenty-year-old grocery worker who is uncertain of himself and what to do with the future.
After yet another attack at the hands of her foster brother, Ingrid flees to the protecting arms of Scott and her friend from work, Lisa. Lisa knows things about Ingrid--that she was born in another world during a war, that there are forces intent on destroying that world forever--that Ingrid doesn't know herself. It's time for her to find out, and return to her true home as the only person capable of rescuing it from darkness.
Trivia:
Was begun in the mid 1990s with the title “My Summer With Ingrid”.
Tag Cavello quit writing in 1997, and the Regions project was shelved. The actress who plays Ingrid Semeska in the book did not want to let it go, however. Over the next fifteen years, she kept at Cavello to write the book. In 2012 he finally relented.
Took seven drafts to get right, as opposed to Cavello’s follow-up novel, Crystal Grader, which only took three.
The Cedar Point amusement park is real, as are many of the rides mentioned during Scott Bremman’s visit there. His fear of the larger rides mirror’s Tag Cavello’s own feelings.
Directly inspired by two Clive Barker novels: Weaveworld and Imajica.
Tag Cavello once likened writing this novel to being a baseball pitcher. More poetic prose and styling was like throwing a breaking ball, whereas the straightforward scenes were his “fastballs”. Cavello later admitted to trying to be too cute too often with his delivery, and had to go through the book two more times to work in more fastballs.

Allen is often drunk on the air, yet in the stories he shares, the threads of a very sobering truth are easy to see. Where the threads lead is not. That is, until Fredo is eventually drawn in too deep to turn back.What exactly happened at PTN? Why does Setti seem so accepting of its fate at first, only to become almost desperate to heal all wounds? Can Fredo really turn PTN’s fortunes around, and at the same time, rescue Setti from the depths of a tragic occurrence?Mirrors sometimes lie. Memories aren’t always real. Read The Rainbird to go on a journey of self-discovery...and be dragged to the killing depths of truth and terror.
