Rai loves the stories of Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Star Trek, Indiana Jones (her first kitty cat is named Indiana, Indy for short), and The Matrix (take the red pill!), to name a few. She loves getting lost in these enchanting worlds and studying their underlying philosophies. Ancient Egypt has held a particular fascination for her since childhood.
Rai feels that novels have the ability to take us on magic carpet rides, allowing us to escape into fascinating and engaging worlds, where the stories become real to us. Storytelling is an ancient, timeless practice and is an integral part of who we are. For Rai, writing a novel is a similar, but far more intense experience and she is thrilled to be a part of such an honored tradition. She believes that these stories are out there, waiting and wanting to be told - that they travel the universe in search of the door, the conduit, to the soul who is meant to tell their tale. She hopes you enjoy the worlds she & Tavius have opened the doors to…

I know that The Time Cavern is a book recommended for 9-12 year olds, I'm an adult, and I thoroughly enjoyed every page of this story. Not just from trying to appreciate it from a young person's perspective, but simply as a reader. The author, Todd Fonseca, has a wonderful gift for storytelling and he obviously put a lot of love into crafting this tale and bringing his characters to life. They seem as real as any characters I've ever read. There are many touching moments; the author has a perfect grasp of the dynamics within a young family and the motivations and thoughts of a young boy pushing the boundaries to… Read more

Night Camp is a wonderful adventure story aimed at 9-12-year-olds, but even though I'm an adult I thoroughly enjoyed this young adventure tale. Night Camp perfectly captures the spirit and identity of kids around the age of 10 years old, who are starting to grow up yet are still driven by their imagination and desire to explore. The story centers around a young boy named Shane, being sent reluctantly off to summer camp. This is an annual occurrence he dreads, and so when his parents cast the usual stack of brochures advertising all kinds of camps his way, the last thing he wants to do is actually choose one. However his parents forced the issue, so he chooses the one that is different from… Read more

Wrongful Secrets is a spooky mystery novel that takes place in a new hotel that has been built on the site two previous tragedies, one that occurred almost 20 years before, and another about 100 years before that. Rumors abound about the haunted nature of the site & now its new hotel. People are drawn to it for all kinds of reasons and in all kinds of ways. Wrongful Secrets has a touch of `Damien' in it, and a hint of `The Shining', and what I really liked about this book is the explanation that is given for these terrible occurrences. Around about page 200, the story really picked up, and I found from then on, I couldn't put the book down. There is a metaphysical element that really starts… Read more
