A Horror Novelette
They were only going out to dinner and a movie.
But their plans go astray, and friends Cassie, Mary, Denise, and James decide to take a detour down a lonely mountain road. A felled tree blocks their passage and forces them to turn around in a clearing containing a disturbing arrangement of four deer carcasses.
Then their truck breaks down, and their cell phones don't work. They must brave the cold December air, nightfall, and a long hike. Yet their troubles are just beginning. Tension runs high between the four young friends…and they are not alone. Each step brings them closer to safety, but will they make it to the main road alive?
Includes the monster's origin story, "Nightmare at the Freak Show."

The Gravity Trilogy
Add to Goodreads
Homesick upon the SS Perseid, Linia, a young linguist, thinks she signed up for a mission of peace, but her crew members have another plan: attack the planet Medusa.
Bored with his dying planet, Alezandros, a space cruiser pilot, joins the Medusan army in his quest for adventure.
When the SS Perseid clashes with the Medusans' cruisers, Alezandros and Linia's lives intertwine. Sucked through a wormhole, they crash upon a post-apocalyptic Earth and are captured by cannibals. In adjacent cells, Alezandros and Linia cast their differences aside for a common bond: escape. But when romantic feelings emerge between them, they might do the unthinkable because for a Medusan and a Persean to fall in love, it would defy gravity.

A no-nonsense Earthling corporal, Nike accepts a mission to destroy the winged-people of Cupidis to give her species a new home planet.
A spoiled Cupidian prince, Edonys gets whatever he wants until his dying father tells him he must choose a mate and take his rightful place as king.
Nike and her reconnaissance crew's space cruiser lands upon Cupidis, and they are taken to the royal palace. The king's decline leads her to believe Mission: Conquest will be easy. Edonys refuses his father's last request to fall in love, but Nike isn't anyone. She's bold and different than any Cupidian female. As Nike and Edonys's quests intertwine, an Earthling and a Cupidian will find it easier to ignore the pull of gravity than the pull of love.

THE BEST OF RAVEN AND THE WRITING DESK
January 16, 2012
To purchase: Amazon Kindle
Once upon a time, in an Internet that is everywhere and nowhere,
blogging writers joined keyboards and computer screens to create a blog
of free short stories for the masses. Themes, ideas and morning coffee
were plenty. A noisy Siamese cat was let outside. A flute trilled over
young students’ heads. A library book was carefully placed in the proper
shelf.
With an idea and a dream, Raven and the Writing Desk blog
was born. Lisa Rusczyk, Cherie Reich, and Aubrie Dionne created these
short stories and poetry within, now in book form.
