AI Rendering of AC Ravencraft
Hello
​I've lived several lives in my years (and, if I'm being completely honest, most of it is a blur), but writing has always been important. In the early days, I was inspired by the likes of Edgar Allan Poe and H.P. Lovecraft; all my free time was spent on an old typewriter. In high school, a teacher introduced me to the Writer's Market and encouraged me to submit my works. After a few rejection letters, I got my first taste of success. One of my short-stories,The Journey, was selected by a literary magazine in 1997. Since that time, a over a dozen other shorts have graced the pages of publications and my first novel, Drowning Rain, was released in 2015.​​​
