We have a COVER!

With Becoming Blood being polished up for release, we thought we'd pull the veil off our cover and let you all have a looksee!





Becoming Blood: the electrifying Becoming trilogy concludes. Ashling DeMorgan has survived becoming wolf, escaped the death-trap of Fomor and found the love she’d feared dead. But, when you’re a pawn in the Morrígan’s apocalyptic scheming, freedom, and survival, comes at a price. Is it one they are prepared to pay? They've been to Hell and got the t-shirts. Now, Hell is coming for them.  As two ancient enemies prepare to converge on Dublin City, Ash and Connal find themselves drawn into a battle of mythological proportions. But will their secrets and divided loyalties put them on opposite sides of a war that neither wants? In a dark and dangerous world where sex is an addiction, will Ash and Connal’s happy ever after end in Hell, or can the very thing that cursed them set them free?




















The third instalment in our Becoming series will be available to buy on December 14th!

Raven and Black are in the Irish Independent Newspaper!

Raven & Black are very excited to be in the national Irish Media today, being interviewed by journalist Maura McBride for the Irish Independent Newspaper www.independent.ie Weekend Magazine.


She asks us about the occupational hazards of writing adult paranormal romance and what it's like to 'come out' to your eighty year old dad and your ruthlessly piss-taking brothers.

Becoming Bad Blog Tour: What an experience :)

So, we've been travelling the internet, blog-hopping and standing in spotlights. It's been one hell of a trek and we have had an amazing time. Not only did we discover brilliant blogs and wonderful hosts, we got to write fun guest posts and answer not usually asked questions.

If you're nosy and want to know a little bit more about us, this tour has delved into our personal lives, how we write and the weird quirks we have. Interviews are a pretty good way to get to know someone, and we've done FOUR! *laughs* You can check them out at the awesome blogs below.

Miscellaneous Thoughts of a Bookaholic

This tour challenged us to write something new, something not about the world we constantly have our heads immersed in. Some very strange and random guest posts came into being and we stole a few spaces on some lovely blogs to showcase our efforts ;) We bring you kinky celtic facts, daydreams of Mr Darcy, The Perfect Book Boyfriend (or our gorgeous Guymera), the truth about our characters names, a 10 Things You Didn't Know About Ash and Connal and a delicious dish at the Alpha Male Diner. We promise you, they're decadent.

Like any author, we adore getting reviews. Even the critical ones, because they let us know what we're doing wrong and help us grow and get better at something we love. It's an amazing feeling to hear someone's thoughts on your books, and when they love them, all the better. Some of the blogs on our tour were incredibly kind and took the time to read our series and show us how they felt. :D You can read their thoughts on their sites, below.
