About this ebook

In Raven's Blood, the main character,Bret Anders, chooses to get away to revitalize himself after a
painful breakup. He makes plans to spend Memorial Day weekend at Raven Hall, a gay resort just
west of New Hope Pennsylvania. On his first night at the resort he meets Anthony D'Angelo,
a handsome, sexy man and the attraction is immediate. That night as Anthony walks Bret to his room,
the body of a murdered staff member is discovered near Brett's room. Brett sees someone leaving the
area, but can't make out what the individual looks like. The killer, however is able to see Brett clearly under the
overhead light over the room door and Brett becomes a target of the man's dark, twisted mind.
Within 24 hours, the body of a guest is found in the parking lot of a nearby strip mall, adding to the already tense
atmosphere of the resort. While being interviewed by the detective, Brett relates what he saw and the detective,
in addition to searching for the killer, now knows he has to protect Brett. As the complex plot evolves, a possible
suspect is identified and pursued, but he himself almost becomes a victim and helps in leading
the detective to the real killer.
Will Brett survive? Will he and Anthony remain together? Will the killer be found and
arrested?
Raven's Blood explores a significant experience in the life of a man who takes a chance and
leaves his comfort zone to find himself thrust into a web of revenge and murder.

    SOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than Bloodtide--a coherent storyline, interesting characters. I almost skipped it because I disliked the first book so much (I actually was calculating how the author could kill off a major character after her second scene).

    That's how Sigurd began his first adventure - in disguise, on a horse that wasn't a horse, with a saddle-bag full of science and a sword forged with grit from the godworld.Sigurd's story starts with Regin reforging Sigmund's knife and trying to persuade him to kill the dragon Fafnir, just as it does in The Saga of the Volsungs although this retelling takes place in a decayed future Britain, where halfmen descended from animals, and gods who may be part machine roam the land. The story continues to follow the saga closely as it tells of Sigurd's relationships with Bryony (Brynhild) and Gudrun, and the author finds an interesting and non-magical way for Sigurd to lose his memories of his first love.Poor Sigurd is doomed from the start by the weight of expectation s on his shoulders, and by the dragon's blood that makes him both more than and less than human, He understood now why Odin interfered and fouled things up. He was jealous. All gods are. Their lives, so diluted by endless time, are worthless; they have nothing.
