Raven in Amber [Kindle Edition]

Patricia Simpson (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Reviewer's Choice Award Winner - Best Contemporary Fantasy

From the moment Camille Avery steps off the bus on the edge of a Washington State Indian reservation, she knows she's made a mistake. Maybe taking a leave of absence to illustrate her friend Barbara's book isn't such a good idea. To make matters worse, Barbara is nowhere to be found.

But Barbara's disappearance isn't the only mystery. Who is the magnificent man who stands outside her door at night, surrounded by wolves? Can the necklace Camille wears be the same one that appears in a local legend? And most intriguing of all, why does her heart race at the sight of strikingly handsome Kitsap Makinna, a man who has learned from experience to disregard prophecies as nonsense...a man whose very destiny may be inexorably linked to Camille's.

More About the Author

Patricia Simpson grew up in the wilderness of Western Montana, where it meant a 3-1/2 hour drive just to buy shoes. When she was young, the iPod hadn't yet been invented, and there were no radio stations in the area, so on the many long drives for shoes, Patricia amused herself by reading novels or creating her own stories in her head. She was encouraged to write by her sister, who always asked to be read what she had written so far that day, her Egyptian-born English teacher in junior high, and then again by a creative writing professor at the University of Washington. Instead of seeking a writing degree, Patricia chose to pursue a BA in Art and has worked as a graphic artist/web developer at the University of Washington since 1982. Patricia still enjoys painting almost as much as she loves to write.

Ms Simpson has won numerous awards for her fiction, including Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Award, Career Achievement Award, and has been a finalist in the RITA awards and for Best Indie Paranormal of the Year.

Her Scottish husband encourages her to accompany him on his frequent business trips around the world, and whenever possible Patricia goes with him to scope out spooky historical places to use as the settings of her books.

This review is from: Raven in Amber (Mass Market Paperback)

Even though the tribe was invented and the background was a composite, I liked the feel and the ambiance of the reservation portrayed. The author dealt with some real problems of actual tribes. The characters were well developed. I liked the process of change that the hero and heroine both went through. I also liked this book's use of myth.

This review is from: Raven in Amber (Harper Monogram) (Paperback)

The book is about a Native American Indian prophecy involving an amber pendant with a raven feather in it. The main character, Camille,finds the pendant as a child and later, as an adult, finds herself involved in the prophecy. There's a lot going on so you won't get bored. Definitely worth reading!!
