“The Ravenstone” New book set for publication!

The Ravenstone: The Secret of Ninham Mountain

 

Mark and I have just finished our first novel together: The Ravenstone, The Secret of Ninham Mountain. It has gone off to our first readers, and then it will get a final edit and proofing. And a lovely design for the book cover! We are excited. It has been more fun than I can describe, to write with my brilliant, articulate, eloquent, creative husband Mark. (Mark M. Carey) Not to give the plot away, but it is a middle grade-young adult fantasy novel… full of adventure, and some honor and glory! Aiming for publishing date of Sept 30.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Imagine an intricately carved black stone icon with matching raven heads on either end. Twins can use the stone, the Ravenstone, to travel through time.

Nadia and Aidan are 13-year-old twins who live in beautiful Cold Spring, New York. When they find the Ravenstone, they are given the chance, a dangerous chance, to use it to save their father. And to bring powerful healing to humankind.

How do they engineer this adventure. Can they survive the perils they will face?

Many thanks to Linda Zimmermann, author of Mysterious Stone Sites for these kind words, about the book.

“Solomon and Carey’s imaginative storytelling sweeps you into a fascinating tale of mystery and adventure. Young twins Nadia and Aidan stumble upon an ancient power that could help their family in the future, or trap them in the past forever.”  ~ Linda Zimmerman, successful author of numerous books on stone sites and paranomal events in the Hudson Valley and northern New Jersey
