Banners for Apparitions

Banners for Apparitions - regular and animated - are ready and up at the web site. We also have a mini-trailer ready that has a neat ghost image in it.

This week we'll be working on the 'movie' trailer for Apparitions. I'll keep you guys up to date on that and put it on the web site to view when it's done.

New Web Site Design

Whoever works on web design for a living is an angel or demon...in either case they possess unearthly powers of patience.

After lots of trial and error we present the new and greatly improved Raven Bower web site!

Take a gander. It's design has been spiffed up and 98% of the content is available. There are some links to horror sites, Halloween sites and other fun stuff.

The Guardian

Since I'm between projects I was able to eek in a second movie this week. I choose The Guardian because of the trailers I saw of it with the stormy seas. Being a huge fan of the seas and lakes I just had to see this one.

I'm glad I did! It was an all around excellent movie with great cast and story line. I particularly liked the ghost spin at the end of it. That the ghost of Randall continued on with the life saving work he did when he was alive.

I've read stories of ghosts in forests saving people that were lost within them by leading them to houses or roads. It was pretty neat to hear of a nautical story that had the same slant of helpful ghosts.

Gist of the Novel

As the release date gets closer I figured I'd give a taste of what Apparition's is about:

In Apparitions the supernatural meets modern reality in the tourist town of White Sands, Michigan. Bailey Khane is a renowned author visited by ghostly guests; murder victims seeking the peace of the grave. Unbeknownst to her, they were all slain by the same man. Caught between the growing shadow of his knife and the unholy fury of the dead he has left in his wake, she is forced to call upon obscure knowledge of the occult, superstition and myth to survive.

…will she succeed?

When Andy Bennett searches for the answers to his sister’s murder he is drawn into a web of horror and shambling corpses. With Bailey high on his list of suspects -

Will he draw her from their clutches and risk becoming their prey?

Sheriff Jay Carson and Deputy Raines fight to form a line between their citizens and the creatures that crave to destroy them.

Will they fall and leave their town defenceless in the face of death?

So it's a mix of a ghost story, heavily supernatural and also includes a nasty serial killer and zombies! whoo

I don't know about you, but Zombies have always frightened the daylights out of me.
