To Render a Raven

"Estrada flexed his bicep and stared at his latest tattoo. Corvus Corax. The raven's back broke into a flurry of feathers and deranged birds to remind him how he'd split the terror asunder with the sheer force of his right arm. He could still feel the damp steel, the hot blood, the hollow pit of his pulsing gut as he struck. The creature held a bloody rose in its beak so he'd never forget how close he'd come . . ."

When Diego steals his daughter from her crib on the eve of her first birthday, the Hollystone witches converge. The same night, a woman is murdered and another abducted.

About the Author
Hawkin, W. L.: - W. L. Hawkin writes the kind of books she loves to read from her home in the Pacific Northwest. Because she's a genre-blender, you might find crime, mystery, romance, suspense, fantasy, adventure, and even time travel interwoven in her stories. If you like "myth, magic, and mayhem," her Hollystone Mysteries feature a coven of West Coast witches who solve murders using ritual magic and a little help from the gods. The books-To Charm a Killer, To Sleep with Stones, To Render a Raven, To Kill a King, and To Dance with Destiny-follow Estrada, a free-spirited, bisexual magician and coven high priest, as he endeavors to save his family and friends while sorting through his own personal issues. Her standalone novel, Lure: Jesse & Hawk (2022), won a National Indie Excellence Award, a Gold Reader's Choice award from Connections E-magazine, a Crowned Heart Review from InD'tale Magazine, and was placed as a finalist in the UK Wishing Shelf Book Awards. Lure is a small-town romantic suspense story set on a Chippewa Reservation in the American Midwest near the fictional town of Lure River. As an intuitive writer, Wendy captures what she sees and hears on the page and allows her muses to guide her through the creative process. In an upcoming book, Writing with Your Muse: A Guide to Creative Inspiration, she explains her writing process and offers tips and techniques to help writers get their words on the page. Wendy needs to feel the energy of the land, so, although she's an introvert, in each book her characters go on a journey where she's traveled herself. If you don't find her at Blue Haven Press, she's out wandering the woods and beaches with her beautiful yellow dog.
