Ravon Silvius's Blog, page 2

What's coming in the new year?

Just a quick update on what I've been doing in the past year and what's coming up!

The Enforcer's series was completed last year with the final book, aptly titled Resolution.

It tells the end of the overarching plot of the Enforcer's series. Will Kenneth and Thorn find their happy ending? Check it out at Amazon to find out!

With that series now complete, I have just submitted another series to DSP publications. The series title is The Fallen Empire, and it's a fantasy series featuring vampires. I will keep you all posted as to the submission status! For a sneak peek at it, you can check out some of my Wednesday Briefs shorts about Kaiden the vampire thrall.

Finally, way down the line is something called The Chronicler series. Expect more info on that far in the future!

Time on Tumblr has come to an end...

I'll be posting here more often, as Tumblr's ill-informed guidelines change leads me back to Blogspot. It's hard to maintain yourself there when your book covers get marked as explicit.

The heat took everything from Rowen: his parents, his voice when the local cure for heatstroke poisoned him, and the trust of his fellow villagers, who branded him a water thief. It would have claimed his life when he was deemed unworthy of precious resources and left in the sun to die, had not a strange man named Kristoff ridden in on the wind and told Rowen he had power. 

Rowen works hard to become a Storm Lord, one of a secret magical group that brings storms to break the heat waves overtaking their world. But Rowen is starting his training at a disadvantage since he cannot speak and is much older than the other novices. The desire to please Kristoff inspires him to persevere even more than the threat of being sent back to his village to die should he fail. Still, he cannot gather rain, and when his abilities manifest, they are unlike anything known to the Storm Lords. Unless Kristoff can help him control his deadly powers, the entire world will be in danger.

Kristoff might be among the mightiest of the Storm Lords, but he’s never been a mentor before. For a chance to be with Rowen, he’s willing to risk everything.

Storm Lords Countdown--3 days until release!

I am not typically a musical person, but I thought of some pretty songs that helped inspire some of the scenes! I love techno, and a lot of these I find relaxing as well as evocative of some of the book.




What do these songs remind you of?

Storm Lords Countdown--4 days until release!

For today, I figured I'd talk about the incident that inspired the story!

Flash back to my second year of graduate school. I was living in the dense urban jungle of NYC, in an apartment with no air conditioning, and my two tiny cats were two tiny kittens. There was a heat wave that lasted for two weeks. Two weeks of temperatures in the high 90's during the day and dipping only to 80, maybe 75 at the lowest, at night. With humid NYC air. I had no screens on my windows, and one of my kittens was rather...dumb. He would see bugs outside and try to catch them, which meant the one time I tried opening my window, he would try and jump out. I very quickly learned I couldn't open my windows.

It was hell. I could barely sleep at night it was so hot. I had one working fan, and would put a bowl of ice in front of it to keep cool. Cold showers were only a relief for a few minutes. I was overheating all the time. The kittens, at least, seemed fine.

But one night, I was sitting there praying for rain, or a storm to break the heat. And then the idea hit me--someone who could summon storms to break heat waves.

The rest is history--or at least, a fun story you can read on August 8th!

Storm Lords 5 day countdown!
