Release Day for Cry of the Raven

Happy Release Day!

Can you believe it? The final installment of the Ravenwood Saga is finally here! It’s been a long time coming (I started writing this series back in 2016). And while I was writing this particular book, I was trying to sell our house, raise 4 teens without my husband and best friend (he was working in another state while I stayed back to sell our house), homeschooling, then moving to another state. Let’s just say it was stressful! Sometimes I don’t remember what I wrote. But God watched over me and my family, I finished the series and love how it turned out, and now I get to share the final story with all of you. Enjoy, my friends!

So what am I up to now? I’m currently working on a new steampunk series tentatively called The Plague Wars and I’m halfway through the first book. I hope to have more news about it soon, but in the meantime, here is the blurb:

In a world covered in a deadly mist that forces humanity to live in the sky, Cass escapes the purges and survives by her wits until she stumbles onto the airship Daedalus and finds a job as a diver. As a diver, she explores the ruined cities within the mist, searching for treasure and family heirlooms for the rich. But everything changes when a young man hires her to find the very thing that will turn their world upside down: a way to eradicate the mist.

Theodore Winchester is a member of one of the five powerful families that rule the sky over the mist. Following in his father’s footsteps, he searches for the source of the deadly mist that turns people in the undead and hopes to stop the purges used to control over-population. But what he finds are secrets and ambition, and with each question comes horrifying answers. If he continues his search, not only will he encounter opposition, but perhaps even his own death.

But the mist is rising and if a remedy isn’t found soon, the entire world will be enveloped in its deadly embrace, turning all of humankind into monsters.

Until then, thank you, readers!

Release Day for Flight of the Raven!

Outcast. Stranger. Lady of House Maris.

Dear Friends,
Aaaaaa! It’s here! The release day for Flight of the Raven! I know many of you have been waiting to find out what happens next with Selene and Damien! Can I just share my heart with you for a minute (before you rush off to start this new novel😄)? I’ve always wanted to write about a married couple: how marriage is about love, mutual respect, being there for each other, and being a team. Flight of the Raven (and Cry of the Raven, the next book) are just that: a look at marriage (with a bunch of dreams, nightmares, and a war thrown in). I hope that this series encourages your heart, helps you with the darkness you are wrestling with right now, and that you find the Light that is always there.

Cover Reveal for Mark of the Raven

Hello Friends! I’m excited to reveal the cover for the first book in my new fantasy series, The Ravenwood Saga, coming out with Bethany House November 2018. So are you ready to see the cover for Mark of the Raven?

Are you sure?

It’s pretty awesome 😉

Here you go!

MotRCoverAnd here is what it’s all about:

Lady Selene is the heir to the Great House of Ravenwood and the secret family gift of dreamwalking. As a dreamwalker, she can enter a person’s dreams and manipulate their greatest fears or desires. For the last hundred years, the Ravenwood women have used their gift of dreaming for hire to gather information or to assassinate.

As she discovers her family’s dark secret, Selene is torn between upholding her family’s legacy, a legacy that supports her people, or seeking the true reason behind her family’s gift.

Her decision comes to a head when she is tasked with assassinating the one man who can bring peace to the nations, but who will also bring about the downfall of her own house.

One path holds glory and power, and will solidify her position as Lady of Ravenwood. The other path holds shame and execution. Which will she choose? And is she willing to pay the price for the path chosen?

COMING NOVEMBER 2018. But you can pre-order your copy now 🙂 www.amazon.com/Mark-Raven-Ravenwood-Morgan-Busse

Looking Forward to 2018

2018newyearA year ago I was moving halfway across the country, gave away half of my possessions so I could make the move, wasn’t sure if Awakened would be released for my readers, fighting one of the worst colds ever, and felt over all pretty bleak about the upcoming year. But one thing I did not lose sight of: God was still with me, and because of that, I could face 2017.

Fast forward: we are now looking for a house (which if you’ve known me for a while you know is a huge deal since we’ve moved every year since 2011). God replaced everything I gave away to move here to the Midwest. My health is in a great place. Tainted won the Realm Award for Horror/Paranormal/Steampunk. And Awakened released in November to the great joy of all of you readers 🙂

So what does 2018 hold for me?

A new book series. The Ravenwood Saga, my next fantasy series, was picked up by Bethany House. Mark of the Raven, the first book, is slated to be released Fall of 2018. I’ve already seen one of the possible covers for this new book and can I say WOW! I can’t wait to share the official cover with all of you 🙂 (not to mention the story).

I will be teaching at The Well Conference up in Michigan in May. I will be sharing writing tools for the speculative writer and how to bring the Christian worldview in fiction without preaching. If you’re nearby and looking for a writing conference, then check this one out!

And speaking of conferences, I will be attending Realm Makers in July with my daughter (eek! I can’t wait!). I’ve been to almost every Realm Makers since it first started 6 years ago and is the best conference for speculative writers and artists in my opinion. To find out more, check out www.realmmakers.com

Plus I will be taking a fun trip with my family over the summer.

With all of the exciting stuff coming in 2018, I don’t want to lose sight of one thing: God is with me. And God is with you too, my friend. So go forth and face the new year!
