An little sneak peek at my upcoming Lycan series:
Any other day, Katya would have been bored to tears. The usual market gossip was generally of little interest to her, but today was a special day, and the air hummed with hushed tones and hurried gestures. Some could hardly hide their excitement, while others wore expressions of dread. The tension in the air was a big change from the expected humdrum of the village gossip center.
“How much?” the old lady from three cottages down asked her suspiciously, eyeing her baskets of fresh vegetables.
Katya conveyed the prices of her wares, and the old lady frowned but went on to inspect the cabbages one by one.
“You think it might be you?” the woman asked conversationally.
“I should hope not!” Katya bristled.
“You’re of age now, so don’t think you’ll be overlooked when they’re considering the choices.”
“I’m well aware of that, thank you.” Before she could say more, a flash of red curls across the market caught her eye.
She watched enviously as Darya flitted from stand to stand, inspecting the items for sale as she chatted and laughed easily with the people in little square. Her easy demeanor brought a touch ofjoviality to the marketplace that had previously been absent. Was it possible she had forgotten what tomorrow was? Katya wished she had the afternoon free to join her friend, instead of the chore of selling at the family market stand. But her mother had sent her to sell today, and there was no way around it.
“I’ll take these two cabbages,” the old woman notified her as she held up her purchases, “but your prices are outrageous. I want a lower price, or I want a dozen eggs to go with them.”
Katya quickly counted out a dozen eggs to give the woman in lieu of a lower price. Her mother would prefer a few more coins in the family’s coffers than to refuse to relinquish the eggs.
“Good luck to you, dearie,” the woman said hastily over her shoulder as she ambled away.
“Ugh, so you’ve been getting that all day too?” Darya had finished her shopping and come to visit her best friend.
“That’s the first I’ve heard someone say such a thing out loud, but I’ve gotten a lot of pitying glances all day.”
“Me, too. Everyone’s all gloom and doom around me, but I refuse to play into it. With all the girls our age in the village, it’s unlikely that it will be either one of us.” Darya’s optimism was refreshing, but a little naïve, as Katya saw it.
“Most likely,” she conceded, but privately she didn’t share her confidence that they had nothing to worry about. The Council could choose any girl they saw fit, as long as they fell within the parameters. As she and Darya had both turned sixteen in the last year, both were up for consideration.

So excited about adult paranormal romance/thriller in the works right now!
I've been working hard on my next upcoming release, "Not What She Seems" and I'm really pleased with how it's coming along!
Who doesn't love succubi battling over hunting territories while trying to land an Innocent, with a deadly Hunter in their midst? Bostonians take note- this one's set in Beantown.
It's targeted more to adult readers than The Guardian Trilogy, with more graphic (and more prevalent) sex scenes along with some more mature themes.
Expected release date is April/May 2013.
Check out the 'Upcoming' section on my website, TRRaven.webs.com, to preview the cover!

One more week to go!
Well, I can't believe it's almost time...one more week to go until the release of Book 2 in The Guardian Trilogy, The Guardian's Curse! You can find it on Amazon for your Kindle and in print as of 2/8/13.
Book 1, The Guardian's Keeper, is also available in print on Amazon now: http://www.amazon.com/The-Guardians-K...
And as always, for your Kindle:
http://www.amazon.com/Guardians-Keepe...
Coming mid-February both books with be available on Barnes&Noble.com for your Nook, as well as posted through Smashwords so those of you with different e-readers can enjoy it too.
I'm super excited about Book 2, you'll see some of the minor characters from Book 1 return and meet some new characters as well. Big changes coming for Claire and Nikoli...
Here's a little taste of what's ahead in The Guardian's Curse, Book 2 in The Guardian Trilogy:
Claire trembled with terror and Nikoli froze beside her as a grotesquely oversized three-headed dog emerged from the shadows, each of its three heads growling as thick ropes of saliva dripped from its trio of jaws.
“Cerberus!” a deep voice thundered from the other end of the chamber, “Those are my guests, leave them be.” The monstrous dog stopped mid-step, studied Claire and Nikoli a moment more, and then skulked back into the shadows it had come from.
A man emerged from gloom. No, not a man, Claire realized, a God. Hades himself, God of the Underworld. He was tall and thickly built, his skin a pale white, his eyes fiery red. Long, curling red horns emerged from beneath his wild mane of black hair. A thick beard adorned his face. In one hand he carried a golden staff topped with a human skull. The stink of sulfur reached Claire and Nikoli before Hades did.
