My inspiration for Writing Raven’s Hollow Spring Magic

What possessed me to write Raven’s Hollow Spring Magic? Several things actually. This book is kinda a follow-up to Meringue Snowflake Magic (Both books can be read as stand alones). I wasn’t ready to let the characters or town I’d created in Meringue Snowflake go. They were so fun, and still had stories to tell. So, Raven’s Hollow Spring Magic was born. I take a look at how the characters have settled into their new town. Then add in a few new quirky characters, a romance, a mysterious ancient jelly bean machine, a disappearance, and time travel an poof you have a new and exciting tale. I love jelly beans. Don’t you? I guarantee after reading Raven’s Hollow Spring Magic, you’ll never look at jelly beans the same way again. Am a finished with Raven’s Hollow and the characters? Only time will tell. <grin>

Now let’s see what my new release, Raven’s Hollow Spring Magic is all about.

“Let’s not jump to the worst-case scenario. Relax, we’ll find her.” Using his calm cop voice, he felt anything but calm. My gut is telling me she’s not here, and I’ve no idea how to find her. He sucked in a deep breath and blew it out slowly. He could see that his calm voice did little to soothe her.

She nearly vibrated. “Mom is missing. Our wedding is in less than two weeks. Tammy’s baby is due soon. I gotta find a part-time employee and you’re telling me to relax?” Another clap of thunder shook the building and an involuntary scream flew out of her mouth.

He wrapped his arms around her tight and held on. “We’ll find her. Everything will be all right. One step at a time. We’ll stop over to Ms. Roost’s place as soon as the storm subsides. Then we’ll come back here and view the surveillance footage, if there is any. That’s the plan right now. Don’t think it’s smart to try to view it while the storm rages. Electrical current could cause a surge, fry the system, and then where would we be?”

“My head knows you’re right. My heart is at war with my head.”

“I understand. Off to Ms. Roost’s first.” He shut off the lights and unlocked the door.

She set the antiquated alarm, and locked it after they were outside. Thunder still rumbled around with only an occasional flash of lightning. The torrents of rain had turned into a drizzle as they ran to his vehicle.
