Hello! I am Raven. I'm happily on my second career as a writer and researcher, working from my farm in rural Virginia. My numerous adventures and interests fuel my creativity—from enjoying my adult kids to raising sheep to gem-hunting and antique-collecting. Meticulous in my design-work and research, I love to see all the pieces of a good "puzzle" come together.

Connecting our past to our present is an enjoyable pastime of mine. Historical treasures of Swiss, Scottish, Irish and German relatives, unsung war heroes, farmers, vine keepers, children lost before their time, beloved spouses, hard-working women—all grace my family history. But exploring rabbit trails of other families can be just as exciting—so please let me know if you need a photo or research completed in Patrick County, Virginia. I'll be happy to help!
