I'm glad you enjoyed them. I'm honored to be a favorite.
To answer your question, "Losing Levi" was a story that just came to my mind, and I felt compelled to write it. It's one of the first stories I wrote as an author. I barely slept while writing it. I poured a lot of my own experiences and emotions into that story. Anytime I go back to read it, I still cry. Ten years later, it's one of my favorite stories.
"Snow" was a story that wrote itself. It started out as a basic idea and grew from there. I did take inspiration from Snow White for the characters, but other than that, it's just the story that played out in my mind. I really enjoy creating fairy tales with a modern-day twist. I can't wait to write more.
I swear, all of my stories have a mind of their own. I can map them out, but they almost never follow the path I plan for them. (In my mind, they play like a movie while I write.) Most of my ideas come to me in dreams. It's rare, but sometimes, I take inspiration from TV shows or favorite movies but try not to make them similar in any way. I try to allow my stories to create their own identities.
I hope I answered your question. If you have any more questions, please ask. I'll respond as soon as possible.
Thanks for reading!! Have a great holiday season!!

I'm hoping to have Book 3 ready to release this December. I will release it sooner if I can get it finished and edited before then. The third book will be the final book in the Love and Blood series.

Hi Natasha,
I am currently working on another story that is long overdue, but Book 4 in The Vampires of Linbridge series is next on the list, along with Book 4.5. If everything goes as planned I will begin working on them next month (May). As long as there aren't any issues I expect them to be released this summer; possibly late July or early August.

I'm planning on book three being released in the spring of 2018. I have a few other projects to work on right now but it's on my to do list.

I'm glad that you enjoyed Bitten. As of right now I'm working on another project which I hope to complete soon. The second it's finished I plan to work on book two. I'm going to aim for an August release, or sooner if possible. I'm also toying with the idea of releasing a novella in the guys POV while Harper is out of Linbridge. If that happens I'd love to release that before the August release date. Yes, I agree Ivan does need to redeem himself but it may be too late for their relationship to return to the way it was before. (That doesn't mean that it can't though.) I see Harper growing closer to Erik in book two. We're also going to see more of James. So far he's been hiding in the background more than Erik and Ivan but I'm going to give him his moments to shine. Again, I'm happy that you enjoyed Bitten and I hope you'll enjoy book two just as much.

I'm glad you enjoyed Losing Levi. You gave me a brief panic attack thinking it had disappeared from Amazon. I'm relieved it's still there :)
To answer your question, I have toyed with the idea of adding more to the story but I've been busy with other projects at this time. I have thought about creating a story that is based before Losing Levi takes place. A more in-depth look into Eden and Levi's lives leading up to Losing Levi. I really would like to do before and after stories though and since there has been a lot of interest in this story recently I'll be moving those ideas up on my to-do list. If all goes as planned then it's possible that these supporting books could be released as soon as next year.

I'm glad you're enjoying the series :) I'm currently working on the third book "Home" now. I should have the writing part all wrapped in the next month, give or take a few extra days. Once it's all said and done I plan on releasing it late January or early February.

That's a really though one to narrow down. I have a wide range of genres that I love, romance, drama, and post apocalyptic to name a few. I'd have to say that my favorite would have to be fantasy. I love anything that takes you away to a whole new world that you could never imagine on your own.

My idea actually came from a discussion about space between my husband and I. We are both fans of sci-fi movies and shows so it was only natural for us to discuss me writing a good space story.

The best thing about being a writer is being able to tell the stories that are begging to get out of my head. The next best thing is when people love the stories I tell.

Writer's block, who has time for writer's block. Not me, but when it does hit I sit back and watch a few of my favorite TV shows and before I know it I'm back to writing in no time. Sometime a break is all I need.
Raven K. Asher
Never give up. That's the best advice I've gotten myself. If you love what you do then don't stop, even if you don't hit it big and sell a ton of books at least you're still doing something you love.
Raven K. Asher
I get most of my inspiration to write from dreams. I have some wild dreams that when I wake up, and I just have to write the ideas down. I also get inspired by music, sometimes I find myself listening to the same song, on repeat, while writing an entire book.
Raven K. Asher
I am currently working on a novella series called Eden One. I haven't released many details about it yet, but be prepared for a fast paced teen romance, in space.
