Summary: Raven’s Lament Picture “When Harry met Sally”, slammed into a Canadian “Karate Kid”. For a backdrop, use a “Harry Potter” type world populated by Native North American Mythical Beings. My first novel in the Stillwaters Run Deep series involving the shaman, Charlie Stillwaters. Book two is being relisted through my publisher Books We Love and will be out later in 2017, formerly titled Shaman's Lure. Based in the native legend of a rare cedar tree whose leaves have turned golden in sorrow for a native prince trapped inside. About thirty years ago a white man, in protest of logging, yes you heard me correct. Cut the tree down. Later they found his kayak, but not him. In the novel he releases the prince, who during the novel is evolving into a earth spirit. He also releases Raven, who looks at the world today and doesn't like it one bit. A reporter investigates the story and meets a native woman. They fall in love and along with her uncle, a shaman (yes Charlie Stillwaters), tries to stop Raven from turning the world back to the way it once was. Spirits Of Vancouver (formally Shaman's Lure) A Dead Poets Society style who done it, set in a Stanley Park Bar where, if you get drunk enough, spirits hang out to take over your body. Toss in vengeful Hell’s Angels, a pissed off Succubus, a dead mayor and stand back. Cause you know the shit’s hitting the fan. Thunderbird's Wake Imagine the movie, the Green Mile set in the West Coast, written by Agatha Christie, directed by Quentin Tarantino. You meet Charlie Stillwaters who can talk his way into anything and out of it, hopefully. Carol Ainsworth, a cop, who wonders why she let Charlie talk her out of her holidays. And a native sprite who's had a horrible injustice done to her by a human, but must seek a human to help her. And one awakening prison character who threatens to blow the whole place to pieces. No spoilers.
