About this listen

Protesting the logging of an old-growth forest, an environmentalist fells a rare tree, unwittingly releasing…something…into our world. After his subsequent disappearance, reporter Brooke Grant looks for answers. During his investigation he finds the love of his life, only to lose her to, well, he doesn't really know what. Brooke enlists the aid of his love's intriguing and extraordinary shaman uncle to help save her. Only they don't only have to save her, but save the world from being changed forever.

WHISTLER INDEPENDENT BOOK AWARDS Fiction Evaluation
Easy to follow and immerse oneself into this well-told story.

The pace unfolds so naturally, I forgot that I was reading—which is essential to achieving this result.

Loved the narrative voice that brought Characters to life through vivid descriptions and unforced dialogue. Time and place are masterfully captured through poetic and beautiful imagery.

The writing style is wonderful, a celebration of words, both visual and imaginative.

This story has depth, the themes are heartfelt and lingered long after I finished reading it.

The pulse of energy—otherworldly, Raven's Lament is a classic in waiting with dream-like narration. I loved every inch of it. [Thanks Frank & good luck!]

Critic reviews

"I was touched when I sensed the author's profound reverence for trees; especially when I read his descriptions of the 'sobbing trees' as they were axed down. This novel has the ring of an epic 'Lord of the Rings' journey—this is one journey that I'll always remember!"—Stephanie Bridgeman/It's A Funny Kind Of Thing That Happened

"After being stranded twenty kilometers from the nearest road at the tip of Rose Spit, Haida Gwaii, and having to push his spanking new SUV a few kilometers along the beach before the tide came in and we ran out of booze, my first reaction on being asked to write a back cover blurb was, “over my dead body." Some people will do anything to get an endorsement.”—Susan Musgrave/Cargo Of Orchids
