Raven's Heart (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781434816399)

Currently living in the lovely historic literary town of Hillsborough, NC as well as being a native to the area, self-published author Serenity Hawk spends her days pursuing two degrees at Southern New Hampshire University while homeschooling her seventeen-year-old son and writing in her spare time. Her two grown daughters have each blessed her with a granddaughter who has their grandmother wrapped around their fingers. Before age sixteen she had a short story published in her school anthology. Throughout her academic youth, Hawk received multiple awards for her compositions. After the tragic destruction of her first novel-length manuscript, Hawk put her first love aside. However, shy of a decade later another tragedy returned her to true nature as a scribe. First published electronically by a small startup company in 1998, her own dissatisfaction of what the publisher considered the final product caused Hawk to pull her title after only seven months. Giving the manuscript a thorough makeover and conducting months of research she chose the avenue of self-publishing her own work. Hawk has written two novel-length stories and a collection of short stories which are currently self-published. She is currently working on another novel-length piece that she hopes to finish by summer's end. Driven by her passion, she finds escape in the lives she creates for the characters with giving them the well-rounded sense of existing.
