LEGEND OF RAVENWOOD
About the Series
After watching the antics of my son and his friend, I was inspired to write a story about two friends, fiercely loyal to each other and always ready to go on some grand adventure. The plot of this series came to me rather quickly and I wrote the first draft of the series in about four months. At that time, I began to cut the series into individual books with their own unique subplots.
The name "Ravenwood" was an easy one. While living overseas, my family came upon a small hotel/restaurant on the banks of a quiet river. The establishment was nestled amongst the native trees and had an enchanted feel to it. Small river boats traveled up and down the river and often stopped at the resaturant, giving the passengers a chance to enjoy the local cuisine. A large tree grew along side the river and its largest branch reached far out over the river, much the same way as the tree that grows beside the moat in the first book. Youngsters continually jumped from the large branch into the river and swam. I've always remembered the mystical "feel" of this place and it made the perfect name for my kingdom.
