A Feast of Shadows ~ Raven Blackheart returns 3/10's Blurbs
About me:
Series Update 7/26/09
Eirelander Publishing has just acquired my follow up novel to Cimmerian City entitled A Feast of Shadows. The series followed Raven Blackheart against a worldwide corporation bent on destroying Earth after experimenting with pharmaceuticals that has changed some of the population into a blood deficient, vampire-like species. A Feast of Shadows is set for a March 2010 release and I'm so jazzed to finally bring this to readers. I'll be updating the Cimmerian City myspace page as new info comes and I'll keep you guys up-to-date on any goodies I have to share.
Cimmerian City will be re-released as a prequel book soon.
Raven Blackheart - Quick-witted, hotheaded and always ready to act, you are the star of the show. You have fooled many with your pretty face, but that's a plus for you...plenty enough time to catch your opponent off guard!
Today, corporations are the new aristocracy. A laundry list of side effects accompanies almost every new drug introduced on the market. What if these side effects changed us?
Imagine waking up in a futuristic world were corporations are the new aristocracy. The world has been divided into 2 hemispheres and 2 races: Humans and quick tough skinned vampire-like creatures that are children of the side effects of 20th century pharmaceutical experiments...Dracins.
Imagine dying as a human…and waking up as something else.
This is the life of Raven Blackheart, a formerly bored college student turned agent for the Tech Corporation, the largest corporate entity in the Western Hemisphere. Vice President Tyler Deamond, directs Raven as a go between and the last hope for the unification of Humans and Dracins. As deaths start occurring within the corporation headquarters, Raven notices someone is working their way up the food chain. Alliances are questioned as Deamond’s intentions aren’t quite as noble as they seem. A figure reemerges from Raven’s past who may have all the answers to the disappearance of her father...
Cimmerian City is a futuristic sci-fi thriller where government has become big business, pharmaceuticals carry a veil of ghastly side effects and a third world war is brewing between the two races.
Relax...It’s just the 21st century.

"Cimmerian City shows us a frightening outcome to current fears of crises on every front. From global warming and rampant pollution, to race wars and violence, from global control of the world's economy by a handful of corporations, to controversial medical experimentation for profits for a drug-dependent society. Here is the extreme vision that Cimmerian City give us of the haves and the have-nots. The few people who can afford to protect themselves from this severally damaged world and those who are subject to the uncertainty of daily life."

"Cimmerian City by Rae Lindley is the type of book that in this reviewer's wide experience, is all too rare: an utterly unstoppable tale which latches on to the reader from the first sentences, then sets a death-defying pace through realms known and unknown, flying the reader through plot twists and turns, character delineations, and theme. Highly recommended is this book, because I literally could not put it aside until completed; and immediately accorded it an important spot on my Keeper Shelf!"

"This is one story that has a high impact punch, a great plot that is fast paced and so intriguing that you cannot put this one down. Within the covers of this book you will discover a variety of crisis which is in the minds of everyone including global warming, war, violence, pollution, medical, pharmaceuticals and economical issues.
Cimmerian City is an intense read with many layers and issues to uncover throughout this story. I look forward to her future releases in this trilogy. This is another highly recommended read and a definite 5 stars."

"The main character, Raven, describes a dark world that
would give most folks nightmares. This is a very scary place, perhaps I just want it to be a work of Fantasy."

“Ms. Lindley builds an intriguing world and then births a cast that breathes life into a suspenseful plot. This story’s heroine is stout and hardy as Raven battles Dracin and human alike, while searching for the elusive truth about Tech Corporation and her role in its success. Tyler
Deamond is a scoundrel personified as he discards his earliest engineered people as failures, because they will not blindly comply with his plans. Russell Li remains quite a mystery throughout this story though clearly Raven’s romantic distraction as they both persevere in
hindering Tech Corp’s supremacy. Cimmerian City is definitely not a light read, but one that will keep a reader entertained for several hours.”

"In the vein of Solaris, K-PAX
and The Man Who Fell to Earth,
PROXIMA is a refreshing film full of wonder."
(LONDON SCI-FI FESTIVAL)
"If you’re looking for something different
in science fiction from your traditional lasers
and alien monsters, check out
Carlos Atanes’s PROXIMA.
Remember Proxima is not just a place,
it’s a state of mind… literally."
(NIC BROWN, B MOVIE MAN)
"PROXIMA is an endearingly off-beat sci-fi film
whose odder moments owe to the visionary
can-do determination of Spanish
underground director Carlos Atanes."

An elderly Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life...
He said to them, "A fight is going on inside me, it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One wolf is evil---he is fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, competition, superiority, and ego.
The other is good -- he is joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.
This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too."
They thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
PLEASE CHECK OUT THE TRAILER FOR MY NEW BOOK BELOW. THANKS!
“ISLAND BEAUTY is the best piece Marlene have ever written. She have really matured as a writer. I think it would even make a good movie. There is great suspense and conflict. Marlene shows life and how it really is, even when we think we have good friendships, life can throw us a curve ball. I really enjoyed reading her story it was great, the tone was good and it was exciting. Keep up the good work!”
