Today I am so pleased to welcome Davidson King to Joyfully Jay. Davidson has come to talk to us about her latest release, Raven’s Hart. She has also brought along a great giveaway! Please join me in giving her a big welcome!
Writing “The End”
Raven’s Hart is the last book in my Haven Hart series. And saying goodbye was actually harder than I thought it would be.
It all started on November 28, 2017 when I published my very first book, Snow Falling. The second I hit publish I thought that was it. I published a book that would likely not do great because no one really like new authors. That was my first thought.
My second was, “Oh, wow, they like me they really like me.” Because this community was loud and they wanted to drown out the negative feedback on writing from teachers and counselors I heard for year. I found my home, my tribe.
Now, almost two years later I’m saying farewell to the series that helped me fulfill my dream. I cried so many times writing Raven’s Hart because it was an emotional journey and these characters mean so very much. I’ve put them through Hell and pulled them back. I’m shocked they haven’t left my mind in the hopes of greener pastures elsewhere.
Many have asked if this is goodbye to Haven Hart the universe and I will answer that with a resounding NO. This story arc is over and these characters (mostly) are complete.
Joker’s Sin is a spinoff series that will begin next year (2020) however it’s a series on it’s own. While in the same universe it won’t entwine with the other characters. Also, Simon, will have his own standalone book possibly later next year (I’m hoping then) but that won’t be taking place in Haven Hart. I will say that after you read Raven’s Hart you’ll understand where that may be.
Haven Hart was a thrill to write but it’s this community and the readers who made it happen. If no one was invested I likely would have stopped after Snow Falling. So, thank you.
Saying goodbye is hard but I’m so excited for my next adventure. I hope you take it with me.
Blurb
Haven Hart stands on the edge of good and evil. Having balance between the two is the only thing keeping the town from crumbling to the ground. For years, one man has been charged with maintaining that balance. Poe.
The air of mystery surrounding Poe is one of necessity. He’s the keeper of secrets and for good reason. He’s stood alone against the most ruthless men and women, always hiding behind the curtain to help his friends defeat what seeks to destroy them.
Now, after all this time, the city he loves, the people he has protected, and the secrets he’s kept hidden are in serious jeopardy. Poe will need the help of his friends to fight the ultimate battle; not just save Haven Hart but everything and everyone he holds dear to him.
When the dust settles, will betrayals be forgiven? Will the city still be standing? Will Poe’s beloved be at his side or will everything crumble? One thing is for certain, everything will be tested, and questions will finally be answered. Raven’s Hart is the final installment in the Haven Hart Series.
Haven Hart Series #7

Bio
Davidson King, always had a hope that someday her daydreams would become real-life stories. As a child, you would often find her in her own world, thinking up the most insane situations. It may have taken her awhile, but she made her dream come true with her first published work, Snow Falling.
When she’s not writing you can find her blogging away on Diverse Reader, her review and promotional site. She managed to wrangle herself a husband who matched her crazy and they hatched three wonderful children.
If you were to ask her what gave her the courage to finally publish, she’d tell you it was her amazing family and friends. Support is vital in all things and when you’re afraid of your dreams, it will be your cheering section that will lift you up.

Have read the first 3 books in the series and loved them… seeing the series being complete it’s bittersweet for me as the reader too, on the one hand I have now a complete series and devour it in one sitting on the other hand it’ll be finished. Seeing though as there will be other arks I’m doing a small chair dance at my work 🙂
You are the best ^^ Keep up the great work
This has been such an amazing series! Love it!
Poe’s story was freaking amazing! Some things I never saw coming. I love to be surprised like that! Actually Poe defied my expectations in many good ways. I can’t wait to see what Ms King comes up with next! So excited!

It shows how much I really enjoyed and love the stories. I bet you will produce another amazing stories. Don’t stop and keep writing. You’re amazing ??

One of the most amazing series I have ever read! An explosive and worthy end! Will miss everyone but looking forward to the next adventure Ms. Meredith King! Thank you so much! ???????????
Congratulations Mere on your fab series and I’m so pleased there will a spinoff YAY!
Such an amazing series. I was lucky enough to win a copy of Snow Falling and couldn’t put it down. Reading The End knowing it was the last was bitter sweet, bit I look forward to more from Davidson, especially Simon’s book,
Squee, I love the last book. So much going on, my favourite man mentioned like a million times (thanks <3) and we finally got answers to some questions. Now on to Simon, and more of Black. Don't forget to put him in there.
This is such an amazing series. I hate to have it end! I’ll just hold myself until the next one starts.
I have Snow Falling on my Kindle. Now that the series is complete I think it’s time to start reading. Congratulations on completing the series.
Best wishes as you begin your spin-off series!
This is actually new to me. I look forward to checking it out. It’s always nice to find a series when it’s complete so it can be read straight through. 🙂
Thank you for sharing where you plan to go with this. Will keep an eye out for that potential Simon book along with any other books you have in the plans.
I loved Raven’s Hart and the entire series. Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Congrats and keep up the good work.
I must confess I’ve only read Snow Falling so far, but I loved it. I am looking forward to continuing reading this series
Ihave not read this series as yet but would love to try it. I have added to my list.
Great series. Sad to see it end.?
I love this series! I’m going to miss these guys! I so hope Simon gets a book… I just love that kid. 🙂
Great cover! Congrats on the new release.
