The Raven Moonstone by VJ Garske

Embracing the Magic of the Open Road:

The open road called to me, and I couldn’t resist its allure. So, I embarked on an epic adventure in my beloved Transit van, which I affectionately dubbed ‘Vanimal.’

I explored the back roads of America, from the rugged badlands to towering forests, from meandering rivers to enchanting waterfalls. Each new bend in the highway held the promise of magic. And all of it sparked my imagination.

Soon, an idea for a novel emerged. Inspired by the people, places, and sights along the way, my story sprang to life — a wizard here, a raven there, and a sprinkling of mischievous goats. Sweetwater, an imaginary small town, became the foundation for my debut novel, “The Raven Moonstone.”

Many miles later, I’ve gathered the courage to share my optimistic and quirky tale. It all began as a story for my grandson, and now I invite readers of all ages to discover the magic of forgiveness within the pages of my book.

As a first-time author venturing beyond my comfort zone, I feel a mix of excitement and apprehension. Your support and feedback mean a great deal to me. Thank you for being a part of this exciting chapter in my life.
