I didn’t even know there was a National Tooth Fairy Day…
But apparently there is! And it’s coming up soon, just in time for the Olders’ Bookshelf to get a little bit bigger! Tulip has lost her first tooth. Should she put her tooth under her pillow for the Tooth Fairy? While she’s deciding, she gets a visit from Poppy, a fairy in the Tooth Fairy’s…

Nothing Says Summer Like Attic Work!
Somehow two sets of homeowners–us and the original owner/builder–missed out on the fact that the attic spaces above the upstairs bedrooms contain very little insulation, either in the batten or blown-in variety. There’s a bit of rolled fiberglass here and there in the vertical spaces, but that’s it. Someone either forgot to do it as…

Acceptance is love, but rejection is a bitch…
And that ain’t no lie. It doesn’t matter what aspect of life you look at; the idea of acceptance and rejection is psychologically the same. But that doesn’t make the rejection of a story hurt any less than being dumped by your high school crush. I bring this up to start this week’s post because…

JTF-13 is back with it’s latest from Charli Cox, Wistles of the Wendigo, set in post Civil War midwest. When the war ends… a new nightmare begins.

Games That Eat Up the Hours
For those gamers in the audience, you’ve likely come across a game that grabbed you and wouldn’t let go. The hours stack up, the soda cans and chip bags fill the trash can, but you don’t get up until sleep claims you at some point in the wee hours of the morning two days later.…

A Different Kind of Road Trip…
…But one just as much in need of audio as the other! While Hillbilly and Word Witch were eating up the miles via two-wheeled conveyance, I spent the weekend driving this sexy beast: My brother does IT work for a local florist whose owners have been friends of the family for at least twenty years,…

Are you planning a trip and Need a little audio pick me up for the road?
Good morning Raven Readers! Me and the Witch have been keeping the roads hot as of late, traveling for family and a few personal trips. The Wild Medicine and Mushroom conference was packed full of info and great people. Sign up for 2026 is already up and in my opinion, well worth the trip for…

New “editors” and titles have arrived at Raven Central!
And even though I’ve told the princess we weren’t keeping any of them, she started giving all of them names. But you have to admit, that little bugger is cute as a button, along with the rest of the two litters the neighbors cats had. It might be a lost cause at this point. The…

Sunshine and good skies before FACING THE STORM
We’ve been blessed with some beautiful weather recently here in the Chattanooga region, perfect for putting miles on the bike and taking the Word Witch out for a scoot. We joined a memorial group ride over the weekend up around the Ocoee, in memory of a couple who went down and passed away at this…

What’s better than gardening and your favorite audio book?
I honestly can’t think of much that is better than some dirt therapy and an audio book. Spring is my favorite time of year, when the garden comes back to life, the temps are back to barefoot weather here at Raven Central and I can spend time digging deep in the soil and burning through…
