In The Mirror of Ravenwood…

Discover how our heroine, Sarah Heatherstone, resolves these dilemmas—and more—as she becomes Victorious in her own life. This is a remarkable tale of one individual’s Journey from darkness into Light, and how that Journey affects everyone around her.

Although set within the framework of 19th Century England and America, the issues dealt with in The Mirror of Ravenwood are absolutely relevant for today—perhaps now more than ever. The writing is reminiscent of the excellent writings of Charlotte Bronté, Jane Austen, and Edgar Allan Poe, all interwoven with the author’s own unique voice.

When O’Vivian first wrote this novel, several literary agents and publishers were very excited. They gave it high praise and exclaimed it was “Excellent!” But, then, they decided against publishing it!

Why? They told her it was “too different” … “too deep.” They told her that it would be “hard to market” because, to paraphrase: “The Public wouldn't be able to understand or appreciate such a tale. It just didn’t “fit” into any of the predefined little boxes that they usually sold to the masses.”  

We believe they were wrong! And we believe it is time for this story to be told. And, it seems our Readers agree...

“Beautifully written. One of the best novels I've ever read!”  J. N., New Mexico

“Wow! An amazing story! It totally blew my mind! I love historical suspense, and this one had me on the edge of my seat! Powerful!”  E. W., Seattle, WA

“This novel is so rich in symbolism. I’ve read it three times…still discovering new meanings. The deeper you delve into this story, the more intriguing it becomes.”   R. R., Austin, TX

“The healing secrets revealed are wonderful! They are in tune with the metaphysical teachings I’ve learned, yet more powerful and simple to apply in my own life. To reveal them so seamlessly within the context of a Gothic Novel is quite a feat.”  M., Mount Shasta, CA

“I was abused as a child. Nothing else has helped me understand it, let alone find forgiveness. Somehow, reading this story has made me feel better than I have in years.”  S. C. W., Florida

“I’m so glad I found this book! I’m glad I read the entire novel. The first (free) 5 chapters were excellent, but the real gold comes later. That’s where most of the discoveries and healing secrets are. Finally, a story with deep meaning AND a fun read!” C. B., Ely, NV

“Would love to see it as a movie, but the mystical scenes would be a challenge. It would take a special director. Spielberg?”  C.D., California

“Awesome! Empowering!!”  D., New York
 

 

When we read this novel, we loved it! We are convinced that most people are weary of novels that tell the same old plots over and over.

In fact, we are absolutely certain that many people YEARN for more meaningful stories — tales of depth and enlightenment that can touch their very Souls!  A tale they can savor, and read again and again, seeing more meaning and richness with every reading.

Don’t let the “gatekeepers” stop New Voices from inspiring our world.  This is a tale that deserves to be told, and it will enrich anyone who reads it with an open mind.

Undoubtedly, some parts of the novel will shock and amaze you. Yet we promise that you’ll be intrigued, and it will be hard to put it down. And, in the end, you will smile. Perhaps feeling, on some level, that a healing has also taken place within yourself.

This is an Inspired Work, rich in symbolism and meaning. As a publisher, we feel honored to bring it out of the closet into the Light.

Don’t just take our word for it. Check it out for yourself.

More Comments From Our Readers...

“I don’t read much historical fiction, so the first chapter was a little hard for me to get into. But once I got through that, it was smooth sailing. Glad I stuck with it. In some ways this book reminds me of “The Matrix” because it’s a story on many levels. It’s my guess that, like “The Matrix,” even people who don’t understand the deeper meanings can enjoy it.”  E. S., Cincinnati, OH

“Well done! The authors Bronté, Austen, and Poe would be proud.”   A. J., London, ENGLAND

“This is the best self-help book I’ve ever read. And it’s also one of the best novels! How did [the writer] do it?!” B. F., Philadelphia, PA

Whoa. The personal and spiritual growth of the characters in this story is INTENSE. Sarah, especially, was much braver than she thought she was. She not only survived, but learned to thrive, and she learned to love as well. I identified with the story much more than I thought I would. Especially with the insights about society and how it treats those who express their individuality. Did I discover a lot along the way? You bet. Will I read it again? You bet!”  H., Portland, OR

“This is exactly what I love—a romance with substance. Romance at its best!” J. E., England

“A must-read for anyone with a troubled past…especially good if they enjoy historicals and mysteries.” M. A. E., Canada

“I hardly know how to describe this novel. It stunned me. Very well written. Honest…deep. When I was done, I missed the characters…I’m on my second read.”  Z. P., Virginia Beach, Virginia
 


Excerpt from "The Mirror of Ravenwood"…


England, April 1816

    Craaassshhh! It was done! The echoes of shattering glass reverberated throughout the vast mansion as yet another mirror was deliberately smashed into a myriad of broken fragments. This final victim—a full-length gilded antique—was situated in an upstairs sitting room.

    A woman stood frozen, mallet in hand. She stared at her image, reflected back to her a hundred times from the shattered shards of reflective glass. Instinctively she knew she should not look, that she should withhold her gaze, but she could not turn away. Some strange perverseness in her character made her take one last glance at the thing she had become.

    The image that faced her was dressed in black silk from head to toe...On her head perched a small black hat from which two layers of equally dark veiling flowed. It concealed entirely the misery that would have been reflected in a poignant visage had there been no veil to cover—to smother—it. From behind the veil, she could see well enough the myriad reflections of her darkened form, destined to live forever in shadow. Well, it would be the last time she would see it; the last time she would behold the wretched creature in black—and good riddance!

    Abruptly, she dropped the mallet, which had grown heavy in her tightly clenched fist. Landing unceremoniously on the polished oak floor with a loud thud, it effectively put an end to the brief, eerie silence that had followed the demonstration. The woman then turned to the incredulous housekeeper who had witnessed the unseemly outburst.

    “Well, Mrs. Fenwick? Nothing to say? You should have followed my instructions when I told you to remove all the mirrors from the house before I took up residence. Perhaps next time I give an order, you will think twice before disobeying it!”

    The housekeeper, normally a collected, if rather stern, woman of sixty opened her mouth to speak, but she could merely gape. For the moment, she could give the apparition only divided attention, for the old woman was tallying in her mind the damage done on this unholiest of days. If she were not in error, this was the twenty-second mirror broken! Twenty-two mirrors! Why, that meant one hundred and fifty-four years of bad luck! Unwittingly, she closed her eyes and crossed herself over and over, muttering “God have mercy! God have mercy on our souls!”

    The worthy woman had not deliberately disobeyed an order, for never would she do such a thing. It was just that she could not understand it; the missive made no sense. Who, in her right mind, would want all the mirrors removed? In her right mind; that was a key phrase, wasn’t it? The housekeeper again enjoined God’s benevolence as she opened her eyes once more to stare in awe at the black-garbed demon that had come into their midst.

Question and Answer...

"Thoughtful and thought-provoking. I love the way the Native American wisdom was shared--subtle yet effective. I found the words of Two Wolves impressive although slightly disturbing. He came across as very real. Was he a real person?"  W., Arizona

From the Author: “While writing this novel, I made several attempts to tone down the words of Two Wolves As One. But I could not change them. They were not mine to change. I believe that on a Spirit level, the messages from this character, and several others, were meant to be conveyed. The Mirror of Ravenwood is an Inspired Work. As such, in some ways, my role is that of the messenger. It was also my intention to create an INTERESTING story. Hence, the more Poe-like passages. It’s all in good fun, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!”
