I’m delighted that The Raven Sound is now available in paperback at the wonderful News From Nowhere bookshop in Liverpool. Bookshops have suffered a lot during lockdown, and there’s nothing quite like browsing the wonderful papery goodness of novels on the shelf, so I’m very pleased they’ve agreed to stock my novel, and a pound cheaper than anywhere else, so why not call in and pick up a copy, and support local businesses at the same time?
“Have you ever then woken up thirty years into your own past with a hazy memory that someone has just predicted your imminent death, but you don’t know why or how? It does have a tendency to sharpen the mind…”
Jack is sixty, scouse, irritable, and an alcoholic. Those are his better attributes. Forced to talk to an annoyingly over-friendly and odd stranger in the pub, he receives the very surprising and unwelcome prediction that he only has sixteen hours left to live. The next thing Jack knows, he’s waking up thirty years into his own past, and doesn’t know why. This is definitely going to be a night to remember.
The Raven Sound is the story of a Jack’s journey into the Worlds of 1994 and 1964, as he tries to discover the mysterious reason he seems to have been sent back in time, and to make a change which could be a matter of life and death for those he once cared about. And there’s no guarantee he will survive the experience himself.
Stay safe,
Kit
